In this video we take another hour’s flight over the frozen north of the United States, this time from Detroit (DTW) to Newark (EWR) onboard United’s CRJ-550 regional jet in First Class. United has taken the CRJ-700 and removed a bunch of seats to create this new, very spacious regional offering.
There’s a big First and Economy Plus section, with just a few rows of regular economy seating, plus a big snack bar and most importantly, three large luggage compartments so nobody has to gate-check their bags again. If only all CRJs could be configured this way. We’re in seat 1A, a solo seat in First Class. For regional jets it doesn’t get much better than this. Join us.
