A Day of Flying on United Express

Matthew Klint Posted onDecember 11, 2009November 14, 2023 3 Comments

I am traveling to Alabama today and am taking two United Express flights to get there, one on Trans States and one on Mesa (aka Messy Air). Hopefully I’ll make it! Invalid request error occurred.

Actually, I agree with Gray’s assessment of travel on United Express (detailed in a humorous recount of his regional jet mileage run over at Wing and a Prayer). While it may not be First Class, I have never had a comfort or claustrophobia problem traveling in 12A on the ERJ-145, 9B on the EMB-120, or 1C/D on the CRJ.

As long as you choose your seats wisely, regional travel doesn’t have to be bad. And if you’re lucky enough to get on an ERJ-170 or CR7, well you even have First Class and Economy Plus to enjoy.

So to all you United whiners out there: suck it up and be thankful you’re not flying Northwest Airlink or American Eagle. Invalid request error occurred.

    What’s wrong with American Eagle? They give me free booze.

    @Josh: I’ll take legroom over booze! Trans State does give free booze to UA elites.
