I'm flying ATL-TUL on 10/7 and back on 10/10. I have a direct flight on Sunday (674 Miles) but my return is TUL-CVG-STL-ATL, 2 CRJs and 1 ERJ. I'll likely use my new GM status to SDC on a single-connection TUL-CVG-ATL or TUL-MEM-ATL w/ mainline back to ATL (would also like to get my first upgrade as well).
I don't mine the CRJs much at all, especially the 700 and 900. I HATE the ERJs with a passion. Due to the fact that over 2/3 seats are window seats and the tangent of the fuselage cuts foot-room in half mixed with engine noise being horrible anywhere behind row 10 leaves about 7/45~50 seats as manageable, and only one (bulkhead) as anywhere near desirable. I'll take a CRJ any day.

OK, beat this.....
I've done the 4.5 hour, 1747 mile, CRJ 705 from IAH-YYC on QK (Air Canada Jazz).
Add on another 1+ hours on the ground in IAH waiting in line to takeoff (WX problems) and that's my record

Longest Regional jet flight
United
BHM - Denver about 3 hours. Of Course, coming back east it cut off about 30 minutes due to the tail wind.

Although there are longer, my longest was ATL-DEN UA a few years ago leaving around 5:30 am, 1200 miles. It wasn't bad. In fact, I'd take that over sitting middle seat on the same route on a larger plane.

ORD-BOI
ORD-BOI on UA is 1,447 miles. CO used to have a commuter jet flying IAH-BOI, which seems like it would be further than ORD-BOI.

1519 miles JFK-AUS on Comair/DL CR9.
They cancelled the route.
It's not a bad ride up front, but the problem is that flights this long really should be catered in some way (whether food up front or at least EATS for everyone).
