Thank you (again) for your videos. I'm not a good flyer TBH so seeing these helps prepare me mentally for the next flight- you capture the key moments (which also cause the most stress) real well and seeing it like this (without all sorts of commentary and quick video edits) makes it real for me. Wondering how you cope with rough air, and your thoughts on some of the incidents lately with turbulence impacting flights overseas.

Another cool video buddy 💪👍❤️

At 2:37, I’d still call it a Bombardier.

Whewww you were on the CRJ-900 atleast it wasn't the 200 I flew on from ORD to CAE about 15 years ago. That thing was a high-speed sardine can.

THAT is what passes for "first class" on a Delta CRJ? Even business class is better on most flights I've taken.
What a joke. At least it was a (presumably free?) upgrade.

[@maxsaviation9512]

It’s a regional jet with limited space and no ovens. You cannot compare a low flat seat to this and there is a significant price difference. American and United CRJ’s look very similar and provide same service.

Thankfully it was a free upgrade.

@@maxsaviation9512 I don't dispute that difference between regional jets and widebodies. I presume that the quality of service is reflected in the price premium, however.
Oh, and primarily I am talking about space, not the food. I would expect sufficient space to recline, perhaps even to a neatly flat position, without significantly impacting on your nearest neighbors, if you are going to call it "first class."
All of this is with the caveat that I usually fly intercontinental flights to South America. I realize that there will naturally be a higher standard on such long flights, compared to domestic hops.
