NYC ExPlus?!?!
 

Am I reading the new schedule incorrectly or are we getting a handful of MESA-OPERATED ExPlus flights on CR7's?!?! ...?

Yup. I flew a LGA-IAD ExPlus earlier this month in F, and have a JFK-IAD next month in F. Despite the short duration of the flight, they have inflight entertainment (It's a Messy thing). ;)

I had a flight that was scheduled as a CR2 and "not-upgradeable" LGA-IAD magically turn into a CR7 last Friday. Of course, had I known that I would have upgraded that segment... It left with 2 empty F seats and had a non-rev in another.

Quite clearly an effort by UA to build and grow its NYC pressence. :rolleyes:

Wait, you mean that United realized that perhaps the largest city in the world's largest economy and the financial capital of, arguably, the world, generates premium cabin fares? :rolleyes:

What day are you looking at? Is this in place of, or in addition to, the mainline 737's and A320's now on LGA-IAD? What about JFK and EWR?

New timetable has 2X CR7s, 1X 733, and 4X CRJs on LGA-IAD, with IAD-LGA being the same except the mainline flight is a 752.

Starting what day? So, it looks like UA did the bait and switch again. They were gonna do 3x mainline, and now they did 2x Ex+ and 1x mainline. This sounds like the p.s. "improvements". :rolleyes:

I still can't believe EWR-IAD has no F. It makes no sense to me.

On the ERJ, every seat is first class (leather!) :roll:

I think UA is getting ready for a merger with Delta or CO. If its CO we'll have to hear all the moaning about having to get to EWR :p

Yeah, just like WN files all their seats as F with the DOT.

Based on two equipment changes on a <250 mile route??? :rolleyes:

JFK-IAD looks like it has a morning, noonish, and 4pmish cr-7 while IAD-JFK has a midmorning, afternoon, and evening cr-7 as well...now if only they would do atleast an abbreviated beverage run...

Yup, (semi-)unfourtunately Mesa is now refitting newer CR7s with explus.

Hey, it's better than Mesa withOUT explus.

Yes, better than nothing, but it is still Mesa...give me mainline or almost any another regional(without first) anyday!!

* November 1: First post-termination day of international service from JFK.

Another note: The IAD-JFK CR7 does not linger in the schedule for long, and I believe it is not a exPlus-equipped aircraft per the seatmap.

UA still trying to push my premium cabin purchases ex-EWR to other carriers. :rolleyes: :td:
