Luggage Compartment: H800 vs G150-200 vs all others...

[leonard17F]

All,

My question is Qualitatitve NOT Quantitative, i.e. I am Not talking about Size but Location and Access:

I flew the H800 in a previous life and did not have any major reservation regarding the FORWARD & OPEN luggage compartment.

I also flew G-150's and G-200's, with a Rear compartment, partially pressurized, but NO in-flight access.

And now, I am flying G-280's or G-5000's, with rear compartment and in-flight access.

I would be happy to get your opinions if you believe that a Forward and Open luggage compartment "a la Hawker" is absolutely "passé" or would it still be acceptable in a modern biz-jet ?

Thanks !

Leo.

Ability to access in flight is probably the only thing the hawker luggage compartment has going for it. Especially when you have to put your liquids over 100mm in checked baggage. No, I haven't worked that one out either.
