Three hours on an E190?
Seems I'll be experiencing this RSW - BOS soon. Aren't those considered "regional jets"? Having flown them before, I like them better than "mainline" though the lack of power ports is a minus.

They used to fly these from Boston to Texas regularly (and once upon a time, San Juan to Boston overnight). This is nothing for the E190. I honestly prefer it over the A320 since you get more legroom and guaranteed XM radio (which I prefer over the LiveTV). I'll be sad to see them go in a few years.
JetBlue holds the world record for the longest E190 flight. After the 2008 US Presidential election, Sarah Palin's chartered E190 ferried nonstop from Anchorage, AK to Buffalo, NY to reconfigure it back into service.
