Overview

This aircraft type is operated by American Eagle.

This type is used on short-haul domestic segments and many passengers enjoy the 1-2 layout for comfort and personal space. Onboard storage is limited as there is only overhead storage on the right hand side. Standard rollaboard suitcases will not fit in these compartments and may need to be checked at the aircraft door. From time to time, passengers may be moved for weight and balance considerations. There is also limited under seat storage at all window seats due to the curvature of the fuselage.

A disagree with seatguru for this seat. Amazing seat brilliant cabin crew the lavatory next to me not bothersome. It's amazing how iconic the plane looks if flying from Freeport, Bahamas to Miami. this plane!

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2019/11/10 for Seat 5B

Seat was comfortable, with no extras. I'm a little surprised that they use this plane BWI-ORD. I paid to check my carry-on sized bag as I anticipated little room and didn't want to go through the DAA process. After some turbulence at the start, the remainder of flight was smooth. An added benefit was the flight path, coming in over Gary and straight up Lake Michigan with tremendous night views and an almost-eerie silence as the plane slowed.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/11/25 for Seat 8A

This is older plane but it's one of my favorite small RJ's because of the 1-2 setup. The single seats on the left side are comfortable for anyone under 6'2" or so. A standard rollaboard bag will need to be gate checked. On the whole this is more comfortable than a CRJ or a turboprop.

Submitted by Andrew M on 2018/09/09 for Seat 18a

I flew from JFK-BWI and was crammed into seat 18a. I will tru to avoid the Embraer 140/145 at all cost

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/08/28 for Seat 13B

Was late getting to the plane - my connecting flight was late, my luggage was late coming out of the carousel - had to abandon it and run. The gate was closed but plane still connected, they let me on. My original seat of 8A was occupied by someone else - weird. I was able to sit in 13B and was better off - no one beside me so I was able to stretch out. Lots of leg room. No food service though - just cookies. They should have at least had sandwiches for sale. No internet service or any entertainment on this flight.

American Airlines approved PET CARRIERS DO NOT FIT under these seats! I just had to deplane my flight from SYR to PVD because my 19x13x9 American Airlines approved pet carrier didn't fit under ANY of the seats.

Submitted by Mike C on 2018/03/17 for Seat 12A

Best seat on plane. At least a 40 inch pitch. Perfect for a 67 guy like me.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2017/12/30 for Seat 6b

Spacious seat. Since the flight was not full, airline offered to reallocate paasengers seats. I had the more room snd it was comfortable

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2017/12/25 for Seat 5A

All the "A" window seats have limited underseat storage. It is less wide than in other planes and an "underseater" rolling suitcase will not fit. "underseater" suitcases just fit in the overhead, wheels out. Underseaters may fit in the "D" aisle seats that are wider. Windows are extra wide offereing lovely views

Submitted by Stuart H on 2017/10/20

The position of the bulkhead leaves limited legroom and no underseat storage.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2017/09/18 for Seat 8A

Great flight on a refurbished American Eagle/Piedmont Airlines ERJ-145. Seat was very comfortable with all new padding and window is much larger than the CRJ. Found no complaints at all with this aircraft.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2017/08/26 for Seat 10A

i flew on a very small 15min flight from Waco(ACT) to Dallas(DFW) on this plane. there is no window right beside you so you have to either lean forward to look out or lean backwards. this is for all the windows on the single seat. i flew on this same plane back in December I sat in seat 4A and once again had to lean forward for the 22min flight from Dallas to Waco. the legroom is okay for a 10 year old i was 10 when i flew on this flight and am only 4' 9" 110 pounds so i didnt have to wedge in. plane was kinda old (it's 15 years old but with the new livery) so they had the seats elevated and i nearly tripped. so on a scale of 1 to 10 i'd give it a 7

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2017/08/12 for Seat 6A

The Embraer ERJ-145 is a bit noisier and cooler than some of the larger jets but the seating is surprisingly comfortable. I always reserve a seat in row A so I can have my own space; it makes a longer flight easier for someone who's a bit claustrophobic.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2017/07/06 for Seat 8A

Blower right under seat causes feet to get very cold. And i had tennis shoes and socks on

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2017/06/20 for Seat 12A

There is a piece of metal that jabs into the bottom of your left thigh due to the configuration of the arm rest connection.

Submitted by Susan B on 2017/06/05 for Seat 9A

Nice seat - nothing special, but nice that it is both window and aisle all at the same time.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2016/11/10 for Seat 4A

Avoid this plane on any flight of one hour or more. No storage space of which to speak. Very limited recline. And no food for sale at all on this flight. Two hours thrity-eight mins. of pure hell. Shame on AA for using this plane on such a long flight.

Submitted by Mike R on 2016/07/30 for Seat 12A

I am 6'7" and I could stretch both legs out straight under the seat in front of me, so that says something about leg room. The window armrest on the window-side is smaller but it looked attached to the seat, unlike the comment in seatguru for the seat. You have a tray table in the rightside armrest and the seat in front of you, so a choice there. On the A-side of the plane, there is NO above seat storage, so get there early, but I had no problems finding space for a backpack on both flights in this plane.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2016/07/13 for Seat 1A

While the tray table is in the armrest, the armrest is somewhat moveable.

Submitted by Ian T on 2016/06/12 for Seat 8A

8A is a single seat on the left, the overhead bins are on the other side but small. AA usually let you check larger carry-ons and collect at your destination. These regional jets are worked hard and may not be the cleanest later on in the day.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2016/05/13 for Seat A Seat

The left hand side of the ERJ-135/140/145 is one of the most comfortable rides in an airplane you can have. Does not matter that this plane is small. The A seats are fantastic. Window and Aisle and IMO very good leg room. I rather fly on this in the A seat than a 777 on any trip any length

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2016/04/25 for Seat 12F

The left hand seats on these airplanes are some of the best seats you can get on any plane, period, business class included. You get to sit by yourself. I"d much rather be on these than buried in a middle seat on an Airbus or Boeing. I ride these things all the time--San Angelo TX to Dallas, Champaign Willard to Chicago, etc.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2016/02/12 for Seat 9C

Avoid these flights at all costs! The seats are low and at a bad angle. I'm not even that tall, (5'10") but found there to be no leg room (made worse by the low seats) and limited padding on the seats. Worst airplanes I've flown in.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2016/02/11 for Seat 3A

WORST SEATS EVER! Actually, let me amend that and just say the WORST PLANE EVER! Seats are narrower than any other plane I've been on, the aisles super-narrow, and the legroom non-existent. With that said, the flight staff was awesome. This is not a plane for "fluffy" people. I'm not in favor of buying an extra seat for fluffier people in general, but this one is a must. Either find a flight that has empty double seats, or buy a 2nd seat. If you need a seatbelt extender, this will not be a comfortable flight. Doable for an hour, but anything more would be miserable. This type of plan should be retired.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2015/12/26 for Seat 7C

Terribly uncomfortable. Minimal leg room, in addition to the seat being lower to the ground than most seats. As a tall (6'1") person, this meant by knees were angled up even higher than usual, and my backpack on the floor kept digging into my leg because the seat was so low. Honestly the most uncomfortable flight I recall ever enduring.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2015/11/02 for Seat All Seats

Plane should not be used for flights over 90 minutes. My flights were three hours. For my STL-LGA round trip, no jetway was used for either boarding. Passengers carried luggage down stairs to tarmac and placed bags on cart...climbed stairs to board. Seats and seat pockets were dirty, soap dispenser not working in lavatory, flight attendant proclaimed coffee to be of unknown age. I have been a loyal American customer but found flights 4133 and 4129 insulting to passengers' sensibilities even in this day of uncomfortable air travel.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2015/09/26

I flew on one of these in august. The seat pitch is 31 inches. Same as a qantas 747 400 or a 380 in economy. I flew from dallas to sydney on the a380 and lax to sydney. Dallas was a 16 hour flight. Try that in seats like that. Noise is the worst thing about the erj 145, otherwise its comfortable with good windows to look out.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2015/09/26

If you are 6'5" and weight 250, try to avoid this plane. You will not be sitting down. You will be attempting to wedge yourself in.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2015/09/23 for Seat 7A

Here is another aircraft that should be banned from commercial service. I was very uncomfortable and the plane was loud. The seat would be perfect for a munchkin but not someone of my height (6'3). My knees were embedded into the seat back in front of me and for the two and half hours of flight and ground time. I couldn't wait to get off this flying sardine can when we reached ORD even though I could not stand up straight until I stepped onto the jetway.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2015/09/21 for Seat 15A

Avoid this seat at all costs. During taxiing before takeoff the loudest most unbearable noise came from this seat. I was pretty sure that my eardrum was going to burst. Avoid the entire back of the plane if you can on this miniscule airplane. I sat in 11A previously and it was a much better option.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2015/08/17 for Seat 1A

Due to the close proximity to the two doors of the plane, this seat can get very very cold. On my flight, the temp at that seat was 15+ degrees colder than the rest of the plane, so I moved. Flight attendant said this was typical for this aircraft.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2015/07/21 for Seat 1A

I liked the feel of having your own private cabin. There were a couple of downsides. It was significantly louder than the rest of the plane and it was a lot colder.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2015/04/21 for Seat 1A

I bought seat 1A, as I liked the thought of getting a few extra inches of legroom. However, the seat throughout the flight was uncomfortably cold, and loud. Having the other door across from this seat made it sound as though I was sitting next to the engine. And like others have said, cold. Even the occupant of seat 2A complained about how cold it was.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2015/03/21 for Seat 1A

This seat is particularly cold as it is next to two doors. I had cold legs throughout the flight and also found the meal tray in the armrest to be uncomfortable as it pressed down onto my lap.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2015/02/07

I fly this plane regularly from MIA to CVG. Rows 1,2 and 3 can be horribly cold especially 1. Also I don't ever get the single seat rows (A) because the storage under the seats is very limited and not big enough for a computer bag. Aisle seat (B) is the only comfortable seat. And they always valet your larger bags so make sure you have something for a computer and other valuables to take on the plane.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2015/02/07 for Seat all

Worst airline ever. They charge for everything and the seats are SO uncomfortable.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2014/11/17 for Seat 15A

For the "stearage" customers virtually all airlines have become sardine cans. In the grand scheme of things the little RJ145 isn't bad at all. I am 6-3 and find this far more comfortable than the "New American" fleet coming in. The new 737 is very tight and the A319 horrible. Given the choice, I'll fly the regionals--hard to believe but true.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2014/08/11 for Seat 10a

Yes, these are getting a little old. Having said that in so many ways I like these. I am a very large man, both in height and diameter. I always take one of the single side seats, put up both arm rests and am reasonably comfortable. Because there is very limited cabin storage, every company that flies these planes does the "valet" thing and puts your carry on in the baggage hold.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2014/07/03 for Seat 16A

This plane is old, but I like it. It's the only plane that has 2-1 configuration to MIA from ATL. The plane is quite loud at takeoff. Bring some headphones for takeoff. The seat was leather which was nice. There is no space for your luggage in the overhead bins for luggage so you have valet service. You drop you bag off and go on the plane. This is really nice since you do not have to lift your bag into the bin. Make sure to pick it up before you leave the gate after your arrival.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2014/01/25

Watch your head when boarding, low height and on the plane when you are getting into seat. Always go for 'A' position seats, single seat, so you can avoid someone next to you and be even more cramped. Very minimal cabin bags allowed and no food to purchase. Really noisy plane. Avoid for any flight over 1 hour if possible. American Airlines should have ditched these planes years ago

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2013/10/21 for Seat 6a

Seats very narrow and short arm rests dig into upper thighs for anyone close to full-grown adult. Flight was over 2 hours(on-time), but these should be avoided for anything over an hour
