I am forwarding this message for Eric who responded to my 
earlier posting ....

Please forward this to Usenet, as I have no access to it.

I have been able to fit my Mac under the seats of and in the overhead
compartment of all the Boeing planes on which I have flown, from the 
various incarnations of the 727 through the 757.  I have had difficulties
fitting it under the seats of Fokker planes, which are used for some
short runs in the U.S., and that French airbus, the number of which escapes
me.  (Perhaps it is A-303 or something like that.)  I also vaguely remember 
having trouble fitting it under the seat of a Lockheed plane: it went, but
only after the application of great force.

I use an old-fashioned Apple carrying case (with the unsafe strap removed,
of course).

I am in the habit of calling the airlines and finding out which planes they
use for the entirety of their run.  They enjoy telling me, as the information
is easily available to them, but hardly anybody ever asks.
