  • An awesome trip on the brilliant ERJ-135, a 37 seat twin engined jet with Airlink - Africa's second largest airline by routes flown.
    I wasn't sure how the tiny plane, small cabin and single seat would be, but I was pleasantly surprised, and had some great food along the way.
    Enjoy this flight review on the Airlink Embraer ERJ-135 - I know I did!

    Tony, great video. I will be flying with Airlink next month from Cape Town to Windhoek Namibia on the ERJ-135. I'll be carrying my cameras and lenses inside a Shimoda Explore 35L backpack. Do you think this would fit in the overhead bin? (Dimension of the bag: 11.6W x 21.2H x 7.8D in. / 29.5W x 54H x 20D cm
    I can't let this backpack fly in the hold baggage due to the fragile lens and camera setup. Btw, do Airlink check the weight of the cabin baggage?
    Thanks beforehand for the tips!

      Thanks Can. The overheads in the 135 are quite small, but you may be able to squeeze it in - failing that, under the seat in front. They do put roll aboard in the hold as you enter the plane, and they get them out for you at the other end as you get off, so it won't go through the baggage system in the airport.
      If you want space above, get on the bus last and stay by the doors then run to the front, otherwise it'll be filled.
      Weight limit is 8kg,I only had a little bag so that wasn't weighed and I don't know if they normally do.
      Have a great trip!

    Flown them a few times and will be again later this year.
    They are an excellent carrier.
    Great service, clean aircraft and a reliable schedule.

    3:23 I've noticed African carriers haven't stopped their I flight magazines like they have in the west and some of the Middle East.
    Lovely airline they are. I flew JNB-BUQ on their quadengine avro something. Loved it. Nice cold meal on board too.
    Lovely review. Thanks for it!
