Amazing seat
Long Legs
Long Legs? Get aisle seat. I actually enjoy the engine noise. It lulls me to sleep. Allows me to focus on the sound and forget the other sounds from the cabin. Babies crying, people chatting all fade away with the engine noise.
Just not a good seat, has limited recline; next to the lavatory.
Might want to skip this one if you can, may have extra legroom; no seat reclining in front of you; no underseat stowage; next to the galley; traytable in armrest means narrower seat; armrests do not move.
Can't go wrong with this seat, has extra legroom; no under seat stowage during takeoff and landing; traytable in armrest means narrower seat.
Not terrible, but not good either, does not recline (exit row behind).
Avoid this seat if you can... has limited recline; next to the lavatory.
If you can, find another seat... does not recline (exit row behind).
Recommend this seat over others, has extra legroom; no under seat stowage during takeoff and landing; traytable in armrest means narrower seat.
Don't sit here if you don't have to, has limited recline; near the lavatory; engine noise can be a problem.
I've sat in better, does not recline (exit row behind).
Could be an issue for some travelers, near the galley.
Pretty good seat all things considered, this exit row seat has extra legroom; the seat in front does not recline; no under seat stowage during takeoff and landing; may be missing an armrest; seat cushion may be very firm.
Solid choice, this exit row seat has extra legroom; the seat in front does not recline; no under seat stowage during takeoff and landing; may be missing an armrest; seat cushion may be very firm.
Decent seat but has some issues, engine noise can be a problem.
This is a good seat to choose, this exit row seat has extra legroom; the seat in front does not recline; no under seat stowage during takeoff and landing.
Watch out for this seat maybe, engine noise can be a problem.

What travel bloggers say
- Says most passengers don't have fond memories of the American Eagle E145: 50 seats squeezed across more than 16 rows in an all-coach 1-2 layout, with short flight times the main saving grace
- Describes JSX's retrofitted 30-seat version of the same airframe, where the starboard aisle seats are swapped for a leather-covered cocktail table and armrest
- Counts 35 inches of legroom and power outlets at every seat, calling these some of the most premium E145s flying commercially
- Notes the absence of overhead bins and explains the 30-seat cap as a consequence of operating under Part 135 rules
- Reports an earlier Las Vegas–Burbank JSX flight on a 1-2 configured E145 that arrived late but still impressed, helped by the FBO-style departure and arrival
- Flew the 30-seat 1-1 cabin where the second seat has been replaced by a side table, and found that removing the overhead bins makes the space feel noticeably roomier with real room for bags underneath
- Didn't bother paying for a seat assignment, on the logic that there's no bad seat onboard — though the window was badly scratched
- Starlink Wi-Fi connected easily and worked seamlessly gate to gate
- Praised the lone flight attendant as warm and gracious, serving a Spritz Del Conte cocktail, Kyoto-style iced coffee, almonds, chips, olives and cookies once the bumpy climb smoothed out
- Found the rear lavatory retrofitted with a far nicer countertop than the E145 lavatories on American Eagle or United Express
- Calls the Flint–Chicago hop cramped and uncomfortable, with seats as stiff as they look and almost no padding — fine for 45 minutes, not much more
- Rated legroom in the single A-column seat as decent, better than American's A319 economy, with narrow width and squared-off seatbacks being the real problem
- Loved the 1-2 layout for solo travelers, saying the single seat felt every bit as comfortable as the solo first class seat on the E175
- No seatback screens and no Wi-Fi, so bring your own entertainment
- One flight attendant still managed a drink and snack run on a 43-minute flight: mini pretzels and water, with only about half the cabin accepting
- All-economy 18-row 1x2 cabin with 31-inch pitch and 17-inch width; rows 1 and 2 have only an A seat next to the galley, and row 12 is the exit row sold as Main Cabin Extra with noticeably more legroom
- Rates the single-side window/aisle seats a real plus and far more comfortable than the 2x2 CRJs, with large windows another advantage over those jets
- Biggest gripe is baggage: overhead space exists only on the two-seat side, so rollaboards get gate-checked and retrieved on the jet bridge — slow, unpleasant in bad weather and risky on tight connections
- No bells or whistles at all: no Wi-Fi, no power outlets and no entertainment of any kind, seatback or streaming
- One flight attendant worked a full beverage cart on the 50-minute run with soft drinks, juice and water, but snacks are limited to pretzels or Biscoff and beer and wine cost $8–$9; the return leg had no service at all because turbulence kept the crew seated
- Booked 12A in Main Cabin Extra, which is the exit row on this aircraft, and was asked to confirm he could operate the emergency exit
- Everyone with a normal-sized cabin bag had to gate-check it because the overhead bins are miniscule — he brought supermarket bags to carry his laptop on separately
- Boarded first on the Cleveland–Philadelphia run because there are no pre-boards or Group 1 passengers and no first class cabin
- Got no service at all: the pilots told the flight attendant to skip it for expected turbulence, which then proved almost non-existent, leaving him thirsty for an hour
- Counted 18 rows and a single rear lavatory, and found gate-checked bags returned efficiently in the jetway with little waiting
- Loved the "throne seats" in the A column on the Evansville–Charlotte leg, where nobody sits next to you — once his favorite seats anywhere
- Still found the seat narrow with tight legroom and the 24-year-old interior dated, though headrests are adjustable and leather
- No in-seat power and no wifi, which were his two listed cons against a great flight crew
- Large carry-ons were valet-checked and returned planeside, with the option to check through free if the connection is tight
- Announced turbulence cut the usual soft drink and Biscoff service to limited service, which he didn't hold against the airline
