My question for others who may have the same fears and who have flown first class on a smaller plane (Embraer E175) and coach on a larger (737 class) plane - which felt more claustrophobic? While the idea of first class space sounds like a good idea, I'm a very tall person and am afraid the smaller confines of the smaller E175 might be an issue. I've never flown on a smaller jet.

Any help would be appreciated!

Take the single seat side in F on the E175.

Or if you just want to get past it, as you say, take a window seat in Y on the aircraft with the smallest pitch and width.
