Roanoke Regional AIrport: Boarding Flight 5605 for elevatortimes

[Korndude4561]

Good airport, but the terminals are a bit tacky

[crichey1000]

Where are you flying to?

[crichey1000]

I have NEVER been to Roanoke Regional AIrport or on a Atlantic Southease Airlines CRJ-200 before.

[dieselducy]

@airplanekid77. I live here too. Cool. Small world 

[airplanekid77]

i live in roanoke

[TrainSounds]

What about security?

[Bradster863]

It's a regular jetway only they have stairs because they can't get the jetway to the plane...

[Mysticlambo]

@Bradster863 you can get a jetway down to a crj200 its just that for whatever reason (it varies) , they dont sometimes.

[FGelevators]

why is the plane not exactly at the gate cause u had to walk outside for it. i had to do that before but

[dylanmcferrenreturn2]

I'm going on a flight in 3 days. I'm nervous because this is my first time riding a plane.

[falaqdad15]

cute plane :D

[AdamTheGood]

Enjoyed the video. Glad you didn't turn the camera off and put it away, despite the number of times you were asked to do so.

[spairNM]

Why don't they connect the gate to the plane that is how it was on my trip from airports ALB to MCO

[airplanecrazy1989]

@spairNM It depends on the plane and whatever the airport decides to do. CRJs can hook to a jetway but the airport officials here decided not to.

[airbus320dfw]

@airplanecrazy1989 why though it should connected to the jetbridge.



[airplanecrazy1989]

@airbus320dfw What part of "airport officials had decided not to (hook to the jetbridge)" did you miss? I was on an ERJ-145 in June. In Louisville-SDF where I departed we boarded via connected jetbridge, but when we parked at IAD-Washington, we disembarked via stairs and went onto the tarmac and then up more stairs into a jetbridge then into the terminal. It's just that different airports have different ways of doing things.

good vid and keep filming andrew no matter what she says!

[FIREALARM2009]

Who was saying come on Andew

[impy70ify]

@FIREALARM2009 his wife why i could tell

[Legitjet]

Very nice, I love these kinds of vids!

[KyFriedPlatypus]

Strange Jetway. I'm so used to the ones that go directly into the plane, without transfering to outdoor airstairs. Boarding a cruise ship is quite similar to this except the jetways (the cruise port calls them "Gangways") have glass walls overlooking the ship.

@TheOregonRedneck wife ? I thought - well whats with all the rainbow colors and stuff???????????? LOL  LMFHO.

[schindlerman96]

did you happen to look and see what brand that escalator was 

[anice1983]

Nice to make a video from the airport and plane specialy the plane

[force311999]

that shire looks like a small plane how many seats dos it have was there more rooms in back like 1st class or something. even the steps seemed small

what model plain was it 727 etc?

[blakstermc]

@force311999 Bombardier Canadair Regional Jet (CRJ200) Has 50 Seats and is operated by Atlantic Southeast Airlines which is a part of the Delta Connection.

[force311999]

@blakstermc thanks for the info I looked at them on line nice plains

[elevatortimes]

Roanoke Airport has such nice architecture inside. That sure is a very very nice airport. Maybe a little nicer than El Paso Airport. The baggage claim in ur airport looks just like ours in El Paso Airport. There arent many security checkpoints in ur airport as there is in my airport. Those jetways look just like El Paso Airport jetways. In our airport, u dont go outside to board. With those small planes, we board inside the jetway. Anyways, great video and thanks for filming ur airport :)

[dontwalkhand]

@elevatortimes The reason why he didn't board inside the jetway was because the plane didn't support it, it had its own built in stairs.

[elevatortimes]

@dontwalkhand Oh i see. Then the jetways are probably made by a different company. In El Paso Airport, smaller planes park in the jetways. Even an ERJ can park in an El Paso Airport jeyway. But that might be because the jetways in El Paso Airport are bigger, since we have big planes and even bigger ones in the past.

[Legitjet]

@dontwalkhand Actually all CRJs can pull up to jetways. I work for US Airways and whenever we get an rj, we just pull the steps down and then pull the jetway up to the open door.

I see a divorce in the future. :(

[ATITANIC1992]

[pcdoctor2]

Wow it sure sounds like your wife does not like you filming at all.
