American is commence with Embarer ERJ-175’s from 1st August 2013.
The route list is far and wide, operating from American’s Chicago Hub.
The following services will switch – note that not all rotations will be operated with ERJ-175’s and maybe operated with other equipment.
As usual, check when you book, and don’t make the mistake of booking a flight just for a specific plane…
Airlineroutes.net has the full skinny on rotations, but here are the cities that will get ERJ-175’s
Albuquerque
New Orleans
Pittsburgh
Kansas City
Minneapolis
Toronto
Washington Reagan
Houston
Newark
Philadelphia
Salt Lake City
San Antonio
The ERJ-175 fleet will be operated by Republic Airlines for American Airlines.
For some routes, it’ll be a big improvement as these may be operated by ERJ-145 aircraft. Now whilst an ERJ-145 is a great aircraft, it is a tad small and can be crammed. ERJ-175’s are normally configured in 2-2 searing, and have a lot of space in the cabin, as well as overhead lockers.
Something to look forward to there…
Living in ABQ its not much of an up grade for us as AE flies the CR7 into ABQ for its ORD flights
