CR9 breakfast BTV-ATL expectations

Delta is only asking about $90 more for first class than coach minus from btv-atl. Seems like it's worth it. Flight is listed as "breakfast" any idea what they serve ? I don't think they have oven so thinking cereal probably no breads? Do they do mixed drinks like screwdrivers or bloody Mary's on the morning flights, trying to justify the pretty low price from econony minus to first class on a cr9.

generally the CRJ9 breakfasts I've had have been a choice between a ham/egg/cheese sandwich and... cheerios.

the way to justify buying up to F on this route

1) the 480 extra MQMs you'll get.
2) checked bag allowance

3)Seat 1A if available is the best F seat IMO.

All alcoholic beverages should be on the menu

CRJ-900 Breakfast Oct/2018


Grainy ultra lowlight example of the CR9 breakfast from YUL-ATL. What it lacked in presentation it made up for in taste.

Would totally avoid the bulkhead on this aircraft. Perhaps the worst seats in the fleet. 1A, complete and total disaster, the proximity of the lavatory may be bothersome. The tray table is in the armrest, making the armrest immovable and slightly reducing seat width. There is no floor storage for this seat during take-off and landing. The window is usually scratched from the jetway canopy, significantly reducing visibility.

I'm also not a fan of bulkhead (on this flight and in general), but different strokes for different folks

I love 1A and 3A on a CR9. On my connections out of MSP or DTW to SAT, I'm always happy on the occasions they have a breakfast sandwich.

Oh, when stuck with cereal though, I really wish the croissants were warned a little. Sick of only slightly thawed bread.

I've seen people complain about being moved out of 1A on CRJ7/9 or E70/5. Every gate agent I've talked to said people love it and it's the one seat in a bulkhead people request. Its not like a bulkhead on a 739, which is what I think most people think of .

I'm going to say, for all the possible reasons to upgrade to F, breakfast on the airplane has to be pretty low.

The traytable is in the armrest for ALL F seats, so by that logic all F seats have slightly reduced with, but still more room than coach. The bulkhead is not cramped like mainline aircraft. I would not hesitate to take 1A if its open (you will usually get first choice of meal), but my favorite seats are 2A/3A. The first row of C+ actually has the most legroom of any seats on the a/c, even more than any seat if F. I would not buy F solely for the meal...you will be disappointed.
