Fairly similar to the title of this thread, I was curious how longer flights are on the CRJ-900's; I have a flight from ATL-CZM and they average about 2 hours and 15 minutes. I was a little surprised when I booked because I thought with a route of this distance (925ish miles?), and it being a big tourist destination, I would think only mainline aircraft would serve it, no?

On the other hand, I have seats 5A and 5B (first row in EC) booked in both directions so I know the seats and leg room will be good. However, with the new EC or Comfort+ (whatever the he11 it's going to be) rules going into effect after March 1 (trip is in April), will the premium snacks and drinks still be offered as complimentary even if the flight is operated by ExpressJet and not DL mainline?
