Welcome to this flight report! Today, I will be flying with American Eagle (operated by PSA Airlines) on their CRJ-900 "NextGen" in Main Cabin Extra.
Hello from RDU terminal 2! I've already checked in via the American app.
Security cleared, let's head to the gate!
Heading to Washingto! Jokes aside, here's gate C18, where our CRJ-900 will depart from.
Here's my ride for today, N549NN, a CRJ-900 NextGen delivered new to PSA/American Eagle in June 2014, and it has stayed with the two airlines since.
Alright, time to board!
My seat for today: 11A, in Main Cabin Extra. Despite the good legroom, these seats are very narrow and uncomfortable. I prefer the E175s over these.
Seatback contents are usual: a safety card, an entertainment guide, and a sick bag.
Pushing back.
Departing from RDU's runway 23R today.
Well, there isn't any service, so let's look at the WiFi and entertainment! This CRJ is equipped with BYOD entertainment, like most AA domestic aircraft. WiFi is paid, unless if you're a T-Mobile US customer. I'm not sure if this CRJ even has live TV.
Movie selection wasn't bad, although for how long this flight is, it's probably unnecessary.
Since I'm a T-Mobile customer, I got a 1 hour pass, so I used it to check the plane's location on FlightRadar. The WiFi was a bit slow, though.
Also, is it me, or does American's carpet remind me of Tetris?
Let these pictures speak for themselves.
And, welcome to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport!

Welcome to the relatively new Reagan concourse, and that's it!
Overall, this flight was okay. Considering it was a short hop, the onboard product did its job just fine.

Nothing beats the River approach into DCA. I lived in DC for many many years and have done it hundreds of times and it's just as breathtakingly beautiful every time.
Thanks for sharing!
