Thanks
Bretteee. NYC-YUL fares seem to have come back to earth recently. DL seems to be aggressively leading the way. I saw $79 seats while I was searching on that trip.

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!
Thanks very much
nequine. Even that short single class flight, there was beverage service with pretzels as I recall. They also sell more substantial shelf-stable snacks which are complimentary to AA EXPs. On the ER4, you have to gate check roller boards, but the overhead bins will accommodate personal hand bags. If you get an a two class plane with an E75, the bins will accommodate rollerboards.

LOL, thanks
JohnRain. I'd go with B. Indeed, I just arrived in Paris, having cancelled my AF A380 reservation deciding to fly United Business from SFO, saving me 142,500 miles. If it was the 77W, I would have splurged. Then again,
Mrs. SFO777 is not with me or I'd never have heard the end of that decision.
