RJ 135 Best Seat?
 

And yes, as someone has already told me today, they are all First Class.

3A for the view or 9A for the exit row. I have never flown on a RJ, and will be flying LGA-BOS. Just wondered whether the view would be worth less room. Surely there has to be something to see on this route. Opinions?

EXIT ROW EXIT ROW (if you are upper tier enough to reserve it).

AND since there are various RJ's there can be different exit rows! And the new RJ is 2x2 seating vs 1x2!

Mantra .. EXIT ROW EXIT ROW.

What new RJ? AA Doesn't have them, I cannot imagine they are squeezing more into a RJ135. I am using SeatGuru, and am just wondering about the difference in legroom. VS. Seeing Something interesting. Does the wing block everything in view in 9a?

I am flying a 3hr in A before this, and the return is in A, so I should be drunk enough not to care about allot but the view.

9B .

I assume you mean the new(er) CRJ 700, which indeed is 2x2. Beyond the point, best seats on the 135 are found in row 9 (exit row).

I am suprised no one has yet recomended 1A, my prefered ERJ seat. You'll get equal legroom to 9A, two windows instead of one, and if you're lucky and get a good crew member, you can have a pleasant talk with them if that interests you. Also, you'll be served first and your trash collected first.

I believe on the 135, you're directly behind a closet, as opposed to the main a/c door. In that, you're directly across from another row of seats, not the FA or galley. I think that the separated 1A seat (with gobs of legroom) is on the 140 and subsequent models.

Have to go with the exit row:

RJ135 9A
RJ140 11A
RJ145 12A

I'm a frequent 9A occupant, and I must say the view is just fine. The wing is not perpendicular to the fuselage, rather it angles toward the rear of the aircraft. So you can see the ground fairly well. Flying LGA-BOS on the left side of the aircraft, you can expect to see LI Sound, New Haven, Providence, and possibly some nice NYC views on the way up. If landing on 22R/L you will most likely fly past the city with views of Cambridge and the Middlesex Fells, before turning around over Rte 128 to make the final approach. If landing on 4R/L you will have a nice view of downtown/back bay just before landing. If landing on 33 or 27 you'll see the harbor islands.

Note that there are frequent equipment changes on these aircraft, so it pays to verify that 9 is still the exit row when you check in.

I second this....unless you take the B/C side and "hope" for an empty seat next to you, but this can really backfire!

Thanks for all the help. As always I found out everything I needed. I think 9A is the way to go.

If you are "wide", 9A is much better than 1A. In 1A, I can't use the flip-up table tray.

If you are as skinny as the average Brazilian (where the plane is made), 1A is good, too.

Right.

The bulkheads have the tray in the armrest but the exit rows have it on the seatback in front of you.

I always thought it was in the armrest because it was safer for the exit row but apparently not an issue on the RJ's?

is AA blocking 1A lately? it hasn't been available on any RJ i've booked this year, and i've booked some pretty empty RJ's. 1A has the extra advantage of being 1A on all three ERJ types. (tho last time i had an equipment change, AA automatically moved me from 9A to 12A to keep me in the exit row -- go AA!)

the A seats don't allow you to put your left leg straight down -- the wall just curves too much to allow it. some people are really bothered by that, and some aren't. personally, i find the A seats fine, and will even take a random A seat over 9BC on a flight i think will fill.

9B if you are tall, that way you have more head room, no window but I prefer the head room.
