Great trip report as always.
Just wondering, on the American Eagle flight - do you get any food/drink service? Also given the small overhead bins, do they allow you to put your hand luggage in the hold during the flight ie you leave it at the side of the plane as you go to board and its there for you when you disembark? We've got 2 American Eagle flights next year (one about 1hr40, the other 1hr 15 minutes), and given I've never flown with them before, I'm curious to learn some tips!
