Gone are the days of the 4h30min IAH-YYC. The 900 use to be the King of long thin routes, but you're seeing them a lot more on 1hr flights in the American NE for example.
That's nothing official, just my brain wondering
I used to enjoy flying these birds when 12A was just inside the J cabin as a single seat, most won't remember this. Been on a couple of 900 this year and yes the IFE was not working
I booked a birthday weekend flight to PHX and it's the 900 there and back, a few days later I received notification that South Bound is now a 738, but heading home is still a 900!
