What is Jungle Jet?
1.
A nickname for Embraer Regional Jets (ERJs), so called because Embraer is based in Brazil, home of the Amazon Rain Forest (Jungle). They are quite narrow and small, with only three seats across the entire cabin. Overhead bins are therefore very small, resulting in the inability of most carry-on luggage to be brought on board.
I had to check my carry-on at the gate, because I was flying on a jungle jet.
