My ride for today is N538EG, a CRJ-700 delivered new to American Eagle Airlines (under well, the American Eagle branding) in December 2010. It stayed with American Eagle Airlines as it was rebranded to Envoy Air in April 2014. The plane was then transferred to PSA Airlines in January 2020. This plane has been flying under the American Eagle brand for its whole life.

Let's board this CRJ!

While this isn't my seat for today (I'm in 13C, on the other side), the economy seats on the later-produced CRJ-700s are of the Weber/Zodiac/Safran 5751 model.

The usual seatback contents of the IFE guide and a safety card, except my seat was missing the air-sickness bag. I saw other seats with one, though.

DEparture


I had to reach over to get photos from the window because I was seated in the aisle seat. Anyways, we're pusing back!

No service today, let's check out the IFE! The movie selection is the same as the one on the CRJ-900. I didn't try out WiFi on this flight.

Before we start our descent, let's check out the lavatory! It's not the worst, although the ceiling height isn't the best.

Conclusion

Overall, this was an okay flight. Once again, the CRJ did the trick for the short hop from RDU to DCA. Seats were a bit narrow, but the recline and legroom were decent.
