The ERJ-145 has 1-2 configuration, with the 2 side beginning at row 3.


Cabin walk through video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mu6HewvsvlU

In general, the A side provides wider seats, with armrests that can be moved out of the way using the button under the armrest where it meets the seat. The exit row (18) provides the greatest amount of legroom, although this is a regional jet with very limited space.

Many people prefer to be closer to the front (seats 1A, 2A, and 3A), while recognizing there is no overhead storage for these seats (all overhead storage is on the right side of the plane starting at row 3), however, sitting close to the front can lead to being reseated farther back to accommodate weight balance for take-off.

1A, 3CD, 18ACD are E+ seats and the rest of Row 2-5 are regular E- but are reserved for UA premier members

Definately. On an upcoming trip...my outbound is 1-2, and the inbound a few days later is 2-1. .bomb maps have been all over the place recently. One CR7 map for a flight I'm on, the 2nd row of E+ shows as normal ecomony, with E+ rows surrounding it. Very weird.

My flights this week on UAEX (Express Jet) on an RJG145 have the familiar seat map - A_BC,

But the flights I just booked for next month show AB_C. Any one know if it is a glitch or is Express Jet truley changing the seat configuration?

It makes a big difference on which seat to pick if you like the single seat side.
Or sitting on the deuce side with your wife.

Flying ord-gsp on the erj145 and I am wondering if the single seats have a moveable armrest?

Last time I was on a similar plane the left single seats had the thick wall armrests with the tray table inside, making the seats smaller.

I just had surgery and want to be as comfortable as possible without the possibility of sitting next to someone.

If I can move the armrest on the single seat side then I am golden!

I asked this question before but think it got lost in the shuffle.

Do the armrests move on the single seat side of the plane?

I would guess that they don't. As with any aisle seat, even on widebodies, the aisle seat armrests don't usually move..

They do on many of the planes I've flown on. You just need to know where the release is. You can usually tell by looking - if there's a fairing you probably won't have luck, but it it looks like it should move, there's almost always an easy way to get it to do so.

The aisle-side armrests can be raised; there's a latch on the underside of the arm, right at the pivot point.

ExpressJet Seating Configuration (E145) showing incorrect seating?

United's web page is showing my on a flight operated by ExpressJet. It is showing an RJ E145. The seat map shows a 2x1 configuration (C side is by itself). All of the other E145's I have flown in more than a decade were 1x2, with the A side by itself.

Do....is the seat map accurate with the C side by itself....or is my past experience on other 145's accurate?

Thank you....

Hmmm I have flown many UX flights operated by ExpressJet (as well as CO Express, and when XE operated as an independent carrier for a little while), and A has always been the single side....12A (the exit row) is my seat of choice. I'd venture to say this is a mistake, but maybe there's an aircraft or 2 floating around out there that is configured differently...

it should be 1x2 and it looks like it's a known issue/bug.

See this thread (and see my post [#31] and onward for more info

I emailed United about the issues with the ER4 seatmap and they replied with:

Dear Mr. CMK10,

Thank you for contacting Customer Relations.

I appreciate your feedback regarding the seat map for our ERJ-145
aircraft. This is indeed an error and the map should reflect 2 A alone
then 2B, C being conjunctive. This error has been reported to be fixed.
Wonder how long it will take for them to fix it?

Wierd Seat Map on UX Express Jet ER4

I am flying from Baltimore to O'Hare on Tuesday, UA 6165 which is operated by Express Jet and the equipment is ER4. The seat map on the United web site shows a row of two seats together (on the left side of the jet) and one seat by itself on the right side of the plane - row C. I have flown on many ER4s in the past and have never seen this configuration. I am currently in an A seat, but have no desire to be in crammed in by the window next to another passenger in an aisle seat right next to me on this small plane.

Does anyone have any experience with Express Jet 145s? Is the seat map correct or printed wrong on the United web site? Seatguru shows all UX 145s with the typical configuration of 1 seat on the left side and two on the right.

UA's maps are almost certainly amiss. There is one set of seats on the left side of the plane, A, and two seats on the right, B and C. They put the numbers in the wrong place.
