SUCKS IF YOUR 6'2"
Sucks worse if the person next to you is 6'2" unless she's a Tall Blond than who cares!
1A★anonymous
Your seat map is incorrect.
There are 12 seats in first class.
3B★anonymous
First Class from Dallas to MSO. Sounds good not overly classy. The seats cushions are soooo old and used you'll feel like you're sitting on a board.

BEST FLIGHT EVER!! MUST TRY
I think this flight was the best flight I ever had. My friend does not like American™? so today I’m proving him wrong.

Don't sit here if you don't have to, will not recline.
1D★★★★seatlink
Better than some but not the best, no seat reclining in front of you; may have extra legroom; no underseat stowage.
4F★★★★★seatlink
I lucked out with this seat... has extra legroom; curtain or partition in front may be bothersome.
1F★★★★seatlink
Pretty good seat all things considered, no seat reclining in front of you; may have extra legroom; no underseat stowage.
18A★seatlink
Look elsewhere, will not recline.

What travel bloggers say

The Points Guy· Testing American Airlines' new — and massively improved — regional jet Wi-Fi

Flew an 11-year-old Embraer E175 from Philadelphia to Nashville, about 90 minutes, after clearing a complimentary first-class upgrade
Clocked downloads around 10 Mbps, uploads near 4 Mbps and roughly 700 ms latency on the new satellite connection, enough to stream four devices at once without lag
Called the $20 (or 3,100-mile) flight pass among the most expensive domestic Wi-Fi pricing he's seen
Praised the fact that the service now works gate to gate, including on the ground and during takeoff and descent, and extends beyond the continental US
Found Zoom and FaceTime blocked, and noted you still can't tell at booking which Wi-Fi provider your aircraft carries

One Mile at a Time· 5 Reasons I Love Flying The Embraer E175

Loves that there are no middle seats anywhere, with 2-2 economy seats over 18 inches wide that he calls among the widest in economy on any plane
Rates the bulkhead economy seats as possibly the best in the sky thanks to virtually unlimited legroom that in some ways beats first class
Points out that 12 of 76 seats are first class — roughly 16% versus about 9% on a 737 — making upgrades far more likely, and the 1-2 layout means you can snag a solo seat with window and aisle
Says the windows are wider and better positioned at eye level than on most narrowbodies, unlike the small, low windows of other regional jets
Says it feels like a big jet — no crouching in the aisle, bins that take full-size carry-ons, fairly quiet — and far better than the CRJ-700 for anyone who gets claustrophobic

One Mile at a Time· American Eagle First Class Food: Bite Into Delight

Likes the E170/E175 cabin itself — strong first-class ratio, 1-2 up front, 2-2 in back — but calls the catering the weak link
Meals are served in first on flights over 900 miles, but on Eagle they arrive room temperature in disposable boxes with an AM or PM collection and a protein or vegetarian choice
His Chicago–Billings vegetarian breakfast box held fig-and-brie sliders, a "yogurt muesli" he suspected was sweet rice with cinnamon, and mixed fruit, with heaps of packaging and the flimsiest disposable cutlery imaginable
Admits the sweet-bread brie-and-fig sliders were among the more edible things he's had on Eagle recently, and better than an earlier "roast beef" sandwich
Accepts that regional jets have no ovens, but argues cold food doesn't have to be bad and that catering used to be properly plated

Seat 2F

Live and Let's Fly· Review: American Eagle E-175 First Class (PIT-JFK)

Paid 15,000 British Airways Avios for a Pittsburgh–JFK first-class seat that was selling for over $600 in cash, valuing the points at about four cents each
Found the first-class seat quite plush and more comfortable than mainline, particularly compared with a 737
Service was thin: one beverage choice after takeoff — sparkling water in a real glass — with no snacks offered alongside
Wi-Fi was available for purchase with complimentary streaming video; he connected free via T-Mobile
Spent the short hop enjoying the views, especially over Manhattan, and called it a smooth flight worth being up front for

Seat 4A

SANspotter· American Eagle ERJ-175 first class will do in a pinch (it's not great)

Called the jet rinky-dink on the 31-minute LAX–SAN hop, joking it sounded more like a vacuum cleaner than an airliner
Liked the seat itself but said the legroom isn't much to rave about — barely better than any seat on the E145, which he considered a massive insult
Offered a glass of water within 30 seconds of sitting down, and his backpack slid fully under the seat in front
Rated the view from his window seat as not too shabby
Praised the flight attendant for inviting two economy passengers up into the empty first-class seats at door close

Seat 3A

TravelUpdate· Review: American Eagle First Class Newark to Chicago

Booked Newark–Chicago first class for 9,000 Alaska miles — effectively half the 15,000 charged out of LaGuardia for the same distance
Values the 1-2 first cabin's solo seat, with 37 inches of pitch and 19.9 inches of width, plus no middle seats in economy
Notes a tiny armrest cup holder, a fold-in-half tray table from the right armrest, and a USB-A port and universal outlet below the seat
Wi-Fi cost $17 for the flight or $11 for an hour (free for T-Mobile), connected only above cruising altitude and cut out on descent, but worked decently for browsing alongside free streaming entertainment
Got a pre-departure beverage and mixed nuts during the long ground delay, but was surprised no additional snacks came after takeoff, and found the Eagle snack selection very limited versus mainline

Pat's Travel Reviews· American Airlines/American Eagle E175/E170 First Class Review

Explains the E170 and E175 share identical first-class cabins and service — four rows in 1-2, twelve seats — with 1A the standout for combining window and aisle plus over 40 inches of bulkhead legroom versus about 37 inches in rows 2–4
Seats are leather with adjustable headrests but narrower than mainline at 20 inches, with no under-armrest storage, a small pull-out drink tray, and power and USB beneath it
Warns the A-side overhead bin is tiny — only a jacket or small backpack — while the D/F side swallows a 20–22 inch roll-aboard headfirst
Finds the crews younger and less jaded than mainline, though pre-departure drinks are now inconsistent and served in plastic, and blankets, pillows and hot towels have disappeared
Says catering has deteriorated badly with no ovens onboard: boxed cold meals over 900 miles that feel more like a snack, and he'd choose a mainline jet on long routes purely for the food

Seat 11A

TravelUpdate· Review: American E-175, My Favorite Commuter Plane!

Called the Embraer his favorite commuter jet — unusually comfortable and stable in the air for a small aircraft, scoring it 92/100
Found the cabin freshly refreshed with nice leather seats, and rated Main Cabin Extra legroom awesome for a two-hour hop, though he says it isn't necessary unless you're very tall
No seatback screens, but free streaming movies through the airline or Gogo app kept him occupied
Flagged Wi-Fi as expensive at $15.95 for two hours and compared it unfavorably with free service elsewhere
Service was a single beverage run with very salty pretzels; arriving at LAX, the remote regional terminal and shuttle bus cost him about 25 minutes

Seat 1F

Oscape.World· American Eagle ERJ-170 First Class New York LGA to Toronto YYZ

Rated the flight 9.5/10 and called roughly $235 for a one-hour first class hop great value, while noting it's really a regional-jet business class rather than true first
Row 1 has the most legroom in the cabin and a deep recline he could have slept in, but zero storage — no underseat space at all
Recommends row 1 or row 4 for views since windows don't line up well in rows 2 and 3; raved about the Embraer's large windows and the single document tray too small for a laptop
Panned the armrest tray table as unstable and saggy in the middle, and praised two AC outlets and two USB-A ports in the center console
Cabin and the tiny forward lavatory were spotless despite the aircraft's obvious age, and the crew hung his jacket, though there was no pre-departure drink and only a single KIND bar with repeated coffee refills
