Trip Report: A Cramped Bulkhead Seat | American ERJ-145 | Madison - Philadelphia | MSN - PHL

Hello and welcome back to another Trip Report! As promised, I'm giving you all a break from Delta's CRJ-900. We can't totally avoid the regional jets flying out of Madison. This flight is one of the less popular routes out of MSN by passenger numbers. Thus, it's usually served by either the CRJ-700 or like the morning flight I was on - the ERJ-145! It was my first flight on this aircraft type and I wanted so badly to enjoy it. However, it was just a little too cramped to feel comfortable on this 2+ hour flight, which happens to be the 4th-longest flight in the United States for the ERJ-145. I'll continue my journeys in a couple of weeks on AA's most unique service, which you won't want to miss. Until then, thanks for watching and have a great day!
