I understand these planes are usually cramped... But what benefit does first class provide on these little regional jets? It can't be much more than a bigger seat... I doubt you'll have full food selections and hot towels.

So why did you pick a route that requires you to be on a regional jet for 2.5 to 3 hours? Your route made little sense. Normally someone flies on one of these for 1.15 hours or less to get to a hub and on a larger, more comfortable plane.
