Actual carrier is Mesa Airlines for United Express.


This flight was on the longer version of the CRJ. The cabin was even configured for 1st class (and no one was sitting there).

If you've never been on a CRJ jet, it can be disorienting how quiet they are. This one rolled down the runway at Ohare with hardly any engine or mechanical noise. It seems like the only noise comes from the wind and rolling of the wheels.

While they are a little cramped when standing up, they have storage overhead and underneath the seat in front of you, and all the amenities you would expect on a larger plane except for the entertainment systems.
