Flying domestic in the United States can be cheap, but not if you're flying to mid-size or small cities. Regional flights tend to be quite expensive in the US, but are they good?

PLEASE READ: Like everyone else, we are very concered about the current situation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. We have suspended all travels until at least late-June. However, we have decided to continue to publish videos as usual because luckily, within the past twelve months, we were able to record a lot more videos than we were able to publish. This means we will publish some older Tripreports we weren't yet able to cut and upload. And we have enough of them to continue to publish three Tripreports per week for the foreseeable future! We ask for your apology for having to upload some older videos which are not necessarily up-to-date. As always, you can see when a video was recorded in the description. Thank you for your understanding. We wish everyone, especially those working in the aviation and travel industry, a lot of strength in this difficult time. Remember to wash your hands and stay safe! Greetings from Vienna, David and Felix

The GoGo WiFi access can be a little finicky at times, the full instruction set is inside the American magazine towards the back.

[@summeroflove394]

You might say "uneventful" but sometimes I appreciate humble trip reports with not too flashy airports or planes and crew. Especially I love watching trip reports about mid size US cities. It is warm, relatable and delightful. And I also learnt that the airport is actually in Kentucky and not Ohio!

[@adrianwelton1870]

That's honestly why I love trip reporters like QFS aviation, they show what most flying is really like: dumpy ERJ-145's along the US east coast, not Emirates First Class halfway across the globe

[@masterofdrive]

Who else feels like these videos make you more excited for your next trip?

[@derf5045]

People say that the CRJ family is bad I don't know why... Those planes are modern, comfy (for me at least) and just very cool. There is something special in them

[@videogameplayer0552]

I flew on a CRJ 1000 in Europe this summer. It was a great flight, and the plane is nice.

[@gr6e]

The only complaints I've heard are about the CRJ 200.

[@zipjay]

I think most of the complaints were on the "devils chariot" AKA the CRJ-200 which thankfully American has fully done away with. The reason for the 200's hatred was originally designed as a private jet. To accommodate luggage, airlines had the floors of the 200 raised up in the fuselage higher than those of the private jet models. This caused the windows to be painfully low, at your elbows even, so to look outside you have to bend over in this uncomfortable position. The seats as you can imagine were crammed into the plane. This all made the jet just an uncomfortable venture. Thankfully Bombardier noticed this problem and designed the 700 and later models with larger luggage compartments, eliminating the need for the raised floor, the stretched style of the plane also helped with legroom, albeit only a little.

[@superbrownsheep3777]

I’ve got some very sad news The CRJ family has been retired from Bombardiar. I checked their website and all I can find is small jets that seem more like private jets than actual regional jets

[@bluish.6287]

​@@superbrownsheep3777Can you provide a source?

[@TGreerTGreer]

2:22 I’ve flown on ANA’s domestic Q400 on their regional route from Osaka to Akita, and it was honestly the best legroom I’ve ever experienced period. Great video as always!

[@ManchesterAviation]

Sehr schöner Tripreport! Daumen hoch :D

[@FredLarsson]

I flew the CRJ700 with Nordica. I found it a pretty comfortable plane. It's small but the cabin has a good atmosphere and I didn't find it less pleasant to fly with than the bigger B737 or A320.

[@suleimanalghanem5450]

thank You!! This helped me a lot because I am scared of flying on a plane and it looks like the takeoff and everything was smooth!

I remember how packed Charlotte was. I loved it

[@ryanfrisby7389]

So cool seeing you guys fly to Cincinnati, the closest major airport to me!

[@icecreamscoop6968]

I love Charlotte airport a lot. It has a lot of natural lighting and is very spotter friendly. I had a 5 hour delay there once and it was very friendly and comfortable. I was there August 23rd and 26th last year.

[@FlyingAsia]

Interesting experience onboard the CRJ700 David!

[@TheNextFlight]

An awesome review as usual. I was reading about the ticket price: quite expensive to be a domestic regional flight. You can nearly purchase a EU ti USA light fare ticket in off-season. Greetings and thanks for keeping to post your archive interesting TR even in this time!

[@JoshDoesTravel]

The Next Flight Reason being he booked this last minute. Check out his brutally honest review on Southwest. It explains why

[@JoshDoesTravel]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe this was when David’s flight to Cincinnati with Southwest got canceled, and so he had to book a last minute ticket through American

[@kevinyang5303]

Wow; I like the new wide camera!

[@SkyHighGuys]

Enjoyable video man :)

[@Sammeep02]

Since I started college, I've been doing routes just like this between Monterey and Phoenix, multiple times a year. Only takes ~90 mins either direction, but nice while it lasts.

That's so cool! I love that jet!

[@tylerscott9329]

Just rode on a CRJ and I have to say I think the seats are comfier then on the 737/E145. Does have dramatically less headroom though!

[@WillGrimm623]

Just wanted to throw this out there - Envoy Airlines is a fully owned subsidiary of American Airlines. It was formerly called American Eagle airlines and owned by AA, but was renamed when American came out of bankruptcy after 2011 and decided to franchise out the American Eagle name to other carriers. Coming from a frequent American Eagle flier with a home base at Chicago O’Hare!

[@fedorsvo5922]

Nice video )

[@nikolotuveri8710]

hello, in all your air travels have you ever taken a picture with the hostesses / stewards or pilots?

[@zanesmith7767]

Them CRJ-700s are cool

[@matthewmartin7639]

So on the free entertainment wifi, it won't be turned on until you pass 10,000 feet. And then you have to copy and paste link in your browser. Then it works pretty decent.

[@cancelanime1507]

Your back :)

[@aviationwithjeff]

Embraer E175 are better regional planes than Bombardier CRJ. The overheads are bigger and fit carry-ons. But yeah, pretty standard regional flight here.

[@TripReportaviation]

Good video.

[@AshmewStudios]

I love the videos but I have one recommendation. Please film more of the airport experience in the future, after this pandemic. Thanks!

[@jeffreychou3918]

You should give the first class cabin a try. It's surprisingly good for a regional jet.

[@SRG4.]

I love planes ✈️ so much! I just don’t know why.. Haha!

[@plutoamor]

The CRJs although they have a narrow cabin, they still give a decent legroom and are fearsome little rockets on takeoff..And admittedly the CRJ900 is the best of them all..I've flown SAS and LH on CRJ on 2h trips and they were fine..I think for longer flights an Ejet or A221 with their wide cabin is much more comfy, 'cause US airlines use their regional jets on long flights compared to european ones

[@jaumais01]

Nice shoes!

[@cochlearkid]

Hi, not sure if anyone noticed or commented but there's a spelling mistake @ 6:32, eight-hout, im thinking it should be eight-hour?

[@tomstravels520]

So do they all use the AA code for their flight tickets? Or do American Eagle have a different IATA code?

[@aviationandmemes1627]

Same exact registration and aircraft. I flew this bird from Atlanta to Chicago O'Hare

[@jonathanreid2644]

Great video David! We know you have nice shoes but point the camera forward instead of downwards cause it's good to see the cabin view whilst boarding/deboarding.

[@Xedgehog1]

I have a love-hate relationship with Charlotte-Douglas. I love to fly, but hate that airport. I often flew on American Eagle to CLT, from Philly and Ashville. You're lucky you got to board from a jetbridge of sorts. Usually you have to hoof it across the concrete ramp, and up and down plane ladders, more often than not in the rain.

Fun fact: PSA airlines was called Pacific Southwest Airlines aka “the friendliest airline” as it was known for having a smile on one or a few of their aircrafts. When American Airlines emerged, PSA could not compete with the ever growing airline and had to merge with US Airways but now PSA is a part of American Airlines since the merge with US Airways.

An uneventful flight is good. "Events" when flying are rarely pleasant. For an hourlong trip, a complementary drink might be expected but the snack was an extra. American Eagle did their job well.
