TERRIBLE FLIGHT
NOISY, LOOKS SHOPWORN, TERRIBLE TOILET AREA,
Good choice for getting photos, as the window opens at the fore of the wing (image related.)
Not terrible, but not good either, does not recline (exit row behind).
Just not a good seat, may have limited recline; next to the lavatory; engine noise can be a problem.
Recommend this seat over others, this exit row seat has extra legroom; the seat in front does not recline; no under seat stowage during takeoff and landing.
Solid choice, may have extra legroom; no seat reclining in front of you; no underseat stowage; near the galley.
Good seat with some minor issues, this exit row seat has extra legroom; the seat in front does not recline; no under seat stowage during takeoff and landing; may be missing an armrest; seat cushion may be very firm.

Pretty good seat all things considered, no seat reclining in front of you; may have extra legroom; no underseat stowage.
Just not a good seat, may have limited recline; near the lavatory; engine noise can be a problem.
Look elsewhere, may have limited recline; near the lavatory; engine noise can be a problem.
Not terrible, but not good either, does not recline (exit row behind).
Can't go wrong with this seat, has extra legroom; curtain or partition in front may be bothersome.
Might want to skip this one if you can, does not recline (exit row behind).
Better than most - has extra legroom; curtain or partition in front may be bothersome.
Better than some but not the best, may have extra legroom; no seat reclining in front of you; no underseat stowage; near the galley.
I lucked out with this seat... has extra legroom; curtain or partition in front may be bothersome.
I've sat in better, near the lavatory; engine noise can be a problem.
This is a good seat to choose, has extra legroom; curtain or partition in front may be bothersome.

What travel bloggers say
- Flew the single bulkhead seat 1A on an ex-Delta frame and found a universal power outlet and USB port alongside it, plus two sets of lights and air vents
- Rated the cabin highly — blue mood lighting, old seats with refreshed finishings, "pretty good" recline — though legroom was awkward to stretch out in and the overhead bins were small enough that most passengers gate-checked
- Explains that the ex-Delta CRJ-700s carry 65 seats with three first class rows while the ex-United frames have 70 seats and two rows, identifiable by the blue armrests
- Got a pre-departure Coke Zero, an extra drink round with Biscoff cookies during the ground hold, and a well-stocked snack basket after takeoff, but called the first class flight attendant the weak point for handing over the basket without a word or a smile
- Watched Big Bang Theory on the free streaming entertainment and scored it 9/10; a nearly two-hour Chicago ground stop meant arriving 1 hour 35 minutes late
- Took bulkhead seat 1A in first class on a New York–Minneapolis run after a paid upgrade offered at online check-in, where first class was nearly empty
- Found the extra legroom stilted by the lack of a footwell cutout, but says anyone under six feet can fully extend and even rest their feet against the bulkhead wall
- No wifi and no power ports onboard, leaving the stack of onboard magazines as the entertainment
- Food service amounted to warmed nuts and snack mix, though nuts and drinks arrived in glassware rather than plastic, and the service was friendly and personable
- Flags the single rear lavatory as the big quirk: no odor or crowding up front, but an awkward wait at the back of the plane; rated the experience 3 out of 5
- Economy on the DCA–Toronto run has 46 seats at 31 inches of pitch and 17 inches of width, clean blue-and-gray slimlines
- Criticized the seat padding — a supportive bottom cushion but a seatback with minimal padding that would wear thin on the longer routes these jets fly
- Warns that the overhead bins are very small, so anything bigger than a backpack may need a (free) gate check
- Only 27 passengers aboard a roughly 70-seat jet made the takeoff feel "more like a rocket than a commercial aircraft"
- Service brought hot drinks first, then sodas, juices and Biscoff cookies as the only snack; streaming entertainment is free while wifi is paid
- Sat in 3A, the last row of a nine-seat Domestic First cabin laid out 1-2 across three rows on this SkyWest-operated ORD–IND hop
- Zodiac Close Comfort II seats measure roughly 19.5–21 inches wide with 37 inches of pitch and six inches of recline, plus a bi-fold tray table and cocktail holder in the left armrest
- Recent upgrades had added an individual power outlet and USB port at every first class seat on this 19-year-old airframe
- Called the pre-departure beverage a pleasant surprise, then got a single drink run with a choice of pretzels or Biscoff cookies — he was still sipping his Bloody Mary at the start of descent on the 36-minute flight
- Solid overall verdict: good service for a short regional leg, and the gate was reached ten minutes early
- Seat 4A in the first economy row, sold as Main Cabin Extra, delivered "virtually unlimited legroom" — though 4B gets bumped constantly by passengers in the aisle
- No seatback screens, but free streaming entertainment over the wifi, which he rates above United's CRJ-900s that lack it; he used the connection in flight to track his connection
- Main Cabin Extra included complimentary alcohol — a vodka soda plus a small bag of pretzels — and the single rear lavatory stayed clean and stocked all flight
- A broken pushback tug at Baton Rouge meant a gate change and a walk across the tarmac up airstairs, with the SkyWest captain personally loading bags to make up time
- Praises the hustle of the ground agents and crew as the highlight of an otherwise standard flight, while noting his broader experience with American's reliability remains poor; the fare also undercut United by hundreds of dollars
- Booked 1A, the single left-side seat in a nine-seat first class cabin, on the short OKC–DFW hop as part of a 66,500-mile plus $86 round trip
- The permanent drink holder built into the left armrest is "fine without a drink but kind of awkward with one" — he ended up holding his glass; the tray table stows in the same armrest and can be used half-folded
- No individual air nozzles anywhere on the aircraft, and the cabin was set "hella cold" on an October morning
- Calls the lack of wifi, power outlets and seatback entertainment "kind of depressing"
- Crew handed out sanitizing wipes at boarding and took drink orders early, but after the vodka Sprite arrived ten minutes post-takeoff nothing else happened — the cabin stayed dim and "eerily quiet"; still landed a few minutes early
