What is the Shortest Flight on a CRJ

Everyone has recently been looking for the "Longest Flight on a CRJ" however I always try to avoid the Pinnacle CRJ or find a way to get to my destination using the least number of CRJ segments and the minimum number of minutes aboard that a/c.

What are the 10 shortest Pinnacle CRJ city pairs.

DTW-LAN (74 miles) and DTW-FNT (56 miles) have to be two of 'em. MSP-RST could be another (about 76 miles iirc).

Is COEX still doing CAK-CLE? It's only about 20 miles (I think Mesaba flew this for a while too)

The NW timetable shows codeshare flights on Horizon Air from PUW to LWS - 26 miles.
These are on Bombardier turboprops however.

According to the mileage calculated on webflyer.com, EFD-IAH is 28.5 miles; CAK-CLE is 40.5 miles.

And COEX does use ERJ145 on the EFD-IAH route (28minute N. bound; 26min S. bound). And I don't think CO flies CAK-CLE anymore.

According to Orbitz, IAH-EFD is 10 miles (28 minutes). And $275 roundtrip for the website's default dates.

Continental.com is not showing the actual EFD-IAH distance, being under 500 miles. However:

Great circle mapper: 28 miles O/W
NW mileage calculator: 28 miles O/W

Plus being familiar with Houston, I am pretty sure it is more than 10 miles. So, 28 miles seems to be the correct one.

No flight is short on a RJ.

The one time I've flown FNT-DTW (or DTW-FNT), it was on a jet, but not an RJ

2 years ago, the 8-9 daily FNT-DTW flights included SF3's, ARJ's, DC9's, and 727's... so you could always take your pic... i always found it amusing that they ran 727's on this route (LAN too).

That can be a fun flight in the summmer because of the thermals I presume you're refering to the flight that goes SEA-LWS-PUW-SEA (or perhaps it is reverse). There's a few times I've done the PUW-SEA/SEA-PUW and recall stopping at LWS.

Best,
