Elp-msp
Well, I am flying to BDL, and I am flying ELP-MSP-BDL
But the ELP-MSP flight is on a CRJ
Isn't that a little long of a flight to be on a small plane?
Anyone has taken that flight before?

1148 miles. Yawn.
And don't we have enough threads about too long CRJ flights already?

Sorry, don't mean to pollute the board with yet-another-too-long-crj-flight thread 
First time I am flying NWA in a while, so just wanted to get some opinions.
Hope the flight crew is friendlier

jfe I commiserate with you - it is a nuisance that we have to live with.
I sat next to a rather large women MSP-BMH and it was the closest I have been to a women since I got married

Well, this guy who is 50% bigger than me is sitting in the same exit row as me, and the flight is full
It was a rather uncomfortable flight

ELP/MSP is a long, long flight in a CRJ
This flight is about 2-1/2 hours. Way too long for a 50 seat a/c. In the summer there are weight and balance issues when the temp in ELP exceeps 105F, so often there are involuntary dienied boarding pax.
I wish that there was enough traffic to justify a larger mainline plane.
