Wow, the AA ERJ-175 is a great plane. Leather seats, quiet inside, and seat 8a Main Cabin Extra is like flying in first class. Since there is no bulkhead your feet extend far out not even touching the seat in front of you.No power ports on these seats but there are power ports in Main Cabin extra in rows 9-12.

While this would normally be a bulkhead seat there is no wall with ample leg room however, because of the angle of the aisle, there is no under seat storage in front of you.

Seat was very comfortable. I am 6'1", 230 lbs. Extensive leg room. Seat width excellent. Nearness to lav and galley was a non issue. Not much service going on and the FA's didn't chat up front. Made for a very enjoyable three hour flight on an RJ

I hear a lot of hate for seats by the back of the plane but honestly, this wasn't bad at all. I found the seat comfortable -- moreso than the Preferred and MCE seats that I had on other flights. My partner didn't agree so YMMV. Legroom is okay (I am 5' 6" and my partner is 5'10"). View out the window is great. FAs sat in the row behind us and I could eavesdrop on their conversations (nothing bad, just interesting!) FAs on this trip were also the nicest.

Sat in 9D on a flight to Philly June 7, 2019. The seat is not bad. The legroom is sufficient for a 5' 10" fat guy with bad knees. My only complaint is that since it is a regional air flight there is no WiFi until the requisite cruising altitude.

Window is aligned to your shoulder. You can see out fine just have to turn your head.
Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2019/03/08 for Seat 8F
Any MCE seat on this aircraft is a great choice, but 8A, 8D, and 8F are especially good as there isn't a hard bulkhead limiting legroom. There is simply a half curtain blocking first class so you can push a bag under the seat in front of you and have effectively unlimited leg room too. 8C is not good though as it is in the aisle during boarding and doesn't have any floor storage.

Paltry leg room for a First Class seat. Shame on airlines for taking away inch after inch of leg space even in First Class. No movie screens for a 3.5 hour long flight. Avoid this aircraft. Unless you are 5 2 or smaller
Submitted by Nick R on 2018/09/18 for Seat 18C
First time flying this route via American Eagle. Seats were tight but not Spirit-level unbearable for the hour long flight. Biggest issue is the tray table. It is huge. Comes down right at the level of your stomach and juts into your belly a little if you're slouching forward. I can't imagine bigger people find this very comfortable. Overhead storage is quite tight, if your flight is full and everyone has roller-bags, you'll likely be checking at the gate. Otherwise, a fine plane for a quick flight.
Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/09/18 for Seat 8F
This is the best seat in the plane. I could see First Class seats from mine and I am sure I had more leg room. I'm 5'10" and this is the first time I could stretch my legs out and not be hitting/touching the seat or anything in front of me.
Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/08/24
Be aware, overhead storage is limited for the single seat configuration in First Class. It is half as deep as overheads on the rest of the plane. Its max capacity is a large purse or a student backpack turned sideways. The average carry-on bag will NOT fit, and the overheads on the two-seat side of the aisle are not big enough to compensate.

I am a size 26, 5'10" woman, and seat 15A was one of the most miserable in-flight experiences I have ever had. My knees were crunched into the seat back so tightly that I actually scraped off skin trying to straighten them out. The average sized woman next to me wasn't in much better shape. I could not put down the tray table. The armrest against the fuselage was open enough that I could scoot left and avoid encroaching on her seat, but the knee pain forced me to change positions so much that it hardly mattered. The seat is the same as in main cabin extra, so the lumbar support should be good, but the loss of 4" of legroom completely negated that benefit.This is a great little regional jet in most respects. Actually has good overhead storage, premium seats offer benefits worthy of the premium fee, but AVOID the main cabin unless you are petite, short, or pre-pubescent.

I am a size 26, 5'10" woman, and this Main Cabin Extra seat was more comfortable than first class seats in most regional jets. More than enough leg room, was able to put down the tray table fully, and almost didn't need a belt extender (missed it by an inch!). The arm rest against the fuselage was positioned in such a way that I could scoot under it a bit without discomfort, meaning I did not encroach upon the seat of my neighbor. Window properly aligned. Good lumbar support, too. This jet will definitely be my top choice for future business flights.BE CAREFUL that you don't get a main cabin seat, though. Accidentally booked one of those for my return flight and truly suffered the whole trip.

Often regional jets are cramped and uncomfortable but this plane is just great, it feels more like a larger jet like a 737.This seat had a lot of legroom although the aisle makes an awkward turn here which could mean you get bumped by other passengers

I had the opportunity to fly recently on an Alaska Airlines flight from Minneapolis (MSP) to San Diego (SAN) and back the following week. I had the good fortune to upgrade from Premium Economy (not bad) to First Class (wonderful). Single-wide seats are a brilliant blessing in today's "cram 'em in like sardines" airline economy. Sure, I miss having power outlets (not even USB), headphone jacks, and no LCD television console, but the joy-- THE JOY!-- of being able to sit normally in a seat without my knees being crushed or my sides smashed (I'm 6 feet tall and about 270 pounds-- I'm no svelte jetsetter) was so wonderful. Haven't been this comfortable since the Boeing 727.

Submitted by Thomas F on 2017/08/17 for Seat 8C
I like this seat because as mentioned you have almost an unlimited amount of leg room because the seat is positioned essentially in the middle of the "first class" isle. In regards to personal item space, this seat is limited because you have to share the space under the seat in front of you with the person in seat 8A or 8D. I only take a small laptop bag and there is always more than enough room.

Great seat -- no bulkhead, storage under 1st-class seat ahead. Loads of legroom. Tray table is in the armrest, so you probably lose a little width, but I'm not Kevin Smith, so I don't mind.

These 2 seats have plenty of leg room. there is not a bulkhead just a curtain between first and mc. 8C is set up that if you stretch out your legs they are in the aisle especially right leg. 8D/F across the aisle have more pitch than first class seats but obviously narrower. Found our seats 8A/C very comfortable These seats are MCX and will cost if you do not have status.

SFO to LAX, seat 1A. Pro's: individual seat, bulkhead, large amount of leg room. Cons: Only one window, light from galley shines in your eyes (FA on this flight was really considerate about turning it out for this 0600am flight), no overhead bins above this seat because the safety equipment is stored here. You cannot keep anything at your feet, so board early to stow things in the bin across the aisle. The "Eagle's Nest" / remote terminal at LAX is a nightmare: crowded, chaotic, and only accessible by dirty crowded shuttle buses.

The E-75 in the AA fleet has among the most comfortable economy seats in their domestic fleet. Very comfortable with adjustable headrest. This was right behind first class, so the legroom was fantastic. This is a Main Cabin Extra seat, and well worth the price, depending on the length of your flight. We flew from Reno to LAX.

I'm sitting on one of these right now and it's very unpleasant. It's extremely cramped and very bumpy.This is a 3 hour (!) flight. Frankly, I can't believe American Airlines would allow this type of poobox for anything but a regional flight. Maybe they just hate their customers.

This was a very nice plane and practically new. I wish American would only fly these regional aircraft.

In my opinion, this is the best seat on the airplane outside of first class. Leg room is plentiful and as on all the AA E75s, width is great. Also being upfront you get off quickly and beverage service early enough to actually enjoy it. So happy AA replaced the awful CRJ200s on this route.

Very comfortable in coach. Doesn't feel like an RJ at all. Seats were wide and legroom was adequate. I certainly recommend any of the larger (E170 or 190 class) Embraers over a 737 or A320 (and CERTAINLY over a CRJ), provided it's a shorter flight and you don't care about IFE.

One of the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in on a flight! We paid for extra leg room, and there was plenty for me (5'6"). Even when the woman in front of me put her seat all the way back, it didn't take anything away from my leg room. The seat was a bit wider than usual too.

Granted, no one really NEEDS a first class seat for a 38 minutes flight, but it is kind of cute. The seat is similar to most domestic first class seats, with the added benefits of being window and aisle, and the "new plane smell". I would not spend any extra money on it. But if you have some miles or upgrade certificates to burn - enjoy the ride!

Seat is pretty standard for first class. Its not overly comfortable but its very roomy. There is only a curtain separating this seat from main cabin so i could see a situation where seat kickers would be a problem. However, since that first row is MCE, it may deter some of the normal rif-raf.

Very comfortable seat. I was dreading flying nonstop San Antonio - LAX on a commuter jet, because the seats are usually like boards. But the seats on the new AA ERJ-175 are excellent - better than the new Recaro slimline coach seats Alaska (my main carrier) has installed in their 737s. Good job AA on the comfortable seats in an RJ - an unusual accomplishment.

1A (SFO to LAX) was a fine seat - extra leg room, very private. 1D & 1F would be a little less private, as the flight attendant faces them more directly when in the jump seat. New plane, only 3 weeks old, everything in good condition.The overhead bins on the left (A, C seats) side of the plane are much smaller than on the right. Overhead space runs out quickly, and there is no gate checking -- checked bags have to be picked up at baggage claim, not at the gate. Board early, or check your bag.Overall, this plane is fine for a short flight.

The E175's are brand new planes, at least for AA. For US Air, these tend to be older and well used planes. This is my favorite regional jet because at least some passengers can put carry-on roller board luggage overhead. Note that when overhead bin space is full you must check luggage at gate and pickup at baggage claim. This plane does not offer 'valet" luggage check at gate like the smaller regional jets.
