More Information

Overview

This aircraft is operated by United Express. Overhead storage bins are only located on the two-seat side, and standard rollaboards will not fit. The single seats also have very limited underseat storage. The window seats have very narrow shoulder room due to the curvature of the plane. Engine noise is loudest at the back of the plane. Sometimes, if the plane is very empty, passengers are asked to switch seats for weight considerations.

Extra oxygen masks are available at the following locations:

Row 3, aircraft right
Row 7, aircraft right
Row 11, aircraft right
Row 21, aircraft right
Row 24, aircraft left & right

Overhead storage is only above the 2-seat side (not above my seat) and really can only store purses, small backpacks, briefcase, etc. They automatically gate check all other normally sized carry ons for free, so don't spend the extra money to check your carry on. beforehand I know I am a bigger guy but the seat belts are really short and I could barely lock it in. Suck in your gut, pull it tight, and pull hard! I could store my laptop bag under the seat in front of me but it was a tight squeeze. I would avoid seat 1A unless you have no carry on at all since there is no where in front of your seat to store it. You have to travel back to the overhead storage in row 3 which can be a logistical nightmare when people are boarding and getting off the plane.

All the comments about the uncomfortable aspects of the seats are correct. I flew this from EWR to STL and at 2 and 1/2 hours it was not a pleasant experience, even though I'm hardly a large person (5'10", 170 lbs). United needs to find a better way to make a profit than cramming customers into these flying sardine cans. Service was decent, with free snacks and drinks, but the overall experience isn't fun.

Submitted by Austin D on 2019/09/15 for Seat 22A

Flew this from PNS to IAH, so about a 1.5 hour flight. I've flown on about 20 different aircraft models, and this is my least-favorite. The single seats on the seat map look enticing; I'm 5' 10'' and around 220 lbs, and I found the seat to be pretty narrow. That being said: the flight attendant was VERY friendly and the view was excellent, so those aspects helped make up for it.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/10/20 for Seat 5A

This seat is so small. It is nice that you don't have a neighbor but the way the side of the plane curves in reduces your foot space significantly if you have long legs like I do. Overall, this is a very small plane so small seats are expected but this was particularly small.

Submitted by Richard K on 2018/08/05

Two legs of the round-trip itinerary were on this equipment. It is the equivalent of being in an MRI machine, and just as noisy. Seats were at best marginal. One flight was nearly 2.5 hours' duration. Aircraft should be limited to flight times of no more than 15 minutes.

Submitted by Henry R on 2018/07/06 for Seat 22C

Gotta admit... wasn't a bad seat. Sure, the plane is borderline claustrophobic, but all in all... it's a nice ride. Plenty of leg room for economy (I was worried, TBH). The seat was a comfortable width, and I need to lose 30 lbs. My complaint, as others have mentioned, it's HOT in the back. And, noisy! The air vents were acceptable, but not adjustable. Fortunately, the seat next to me was empty. So, I could place my wrist up on the vent to cool off. That woulda seriously ticked off the person there, had it been taken. As someone else mentioned, you can raise the arm rests (all of them). That helped during my few moments of anxiety. Would I ride it again? Yeah. Probably. But would dress VERY casually, and beg forgiveness to my neighbor, if I had to stick my arm in their face to cool off. Of course, this is all standby. So, there's that. :-) Bottom line... was pleasantly surprised.

However, don't take my word for this EMB 135/140/145's airplane's comfort as a 40 yrs. + professional airline pilot. All of these seats with the exception of the emergency exit rows are uncomfortable. Experience it for yourself's and your lower back! If you don't already have issues.

Submitted by Larry S on 2018/03/03 for Seat 18A

This is an emergency row Economy Plus seat. There is sufficent legroom (Im 60), and a lttle known secret is that the window armrests can be raised by pushing the button on the underside of the armrest far back by the hinge, which mades the seat feel noticeably wider.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/02/02 for Seat 23B

After submitting a post flight review OR a survey that United e-mailed out, I said how could you dare continue to use this preposterous equipment? No less, a 3 + 09 hrs/min flight, MKE-IAH? The most uncomfortable economy seats on the EMB-145 regional jet! I highly recommend AVOIDING these airplanes if you can unless for under 1 hrs. flight time. If you don't have physical problems like your lower back you will eventually get them riding on this junk for comfort. Horrible airplane, period.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2017/10/24 for Seat 6C

I'm a petite woman and I found the seat very uncomfortable. Don't know how a 6 foot man can stand it. In addition, I'm a long time business traveler, and I have never been on a filthier plane. There was so much "stuff" along the wall touching my seat--peanuts, scum, green goo and god knows what. I tried not to touch the wall at all. It's not as if they just missed the last cleaning. That plane hadn't been cleaned in weeks. I was so disgusted I took a picture of it and sent it to United. They at least were kind enough to refund what I had paid to "upgrade" to this seat. I will never fly this plane again if I can possibly avoid it.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2017/08/06 for Seat 1A

This is an economy plus seat that has very little legroom due to the bulkhead. The standard economy seats may have less pitch but have far more legroom. In flight, the FA noticed my apparent discomfort and was kind enough to offer me an available standard economy seat.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2017/01/29 for Seat 24D

This was and the one next to it were the last two available for a reason. The guy infront of me reclined and was literally 6" from my face. I am 6'4" so i am never comfortable, but this seat was something else.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2016/12/21 for Seat 19D

Flew on this version on 12/20 PWM to IAD. Flight was changed and did not get the seat originally booked. 19D is a terrible seat! VERY HIGH noise level and not very comfortable. My Tinnitus is out of control as a result. To add insult to injury had to exit plane at IAD by going down very steep steps.

Submitted by Howard L on 2016/11/15 for Seat 8D

The seat is adequate in comfort for short 1hr flights, the aisleway is INADEQUATE as it will not allow the passage of bags that United clears for transport in the cabin! They hit every seat and must be lifted off the floor to pass! I am disabled and lifting is a danger to my health. I cannot anylonger fly United to Columbia from Washington DC on this aircraft.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2016/10/31 for Seat 20

This plane is tiny and may be ok for 30 minute flights, but United regularly use it for 2.5 hour flights from Portland, Maine ('pwm) to Chicago (ord). It is completely unacceptable to anyone pushing 6 feet for slightly overweight. This planes are actually operated by "GoJet" even though they are branded United. The are flipped at the gate, and so poorly clean, that that are routinely filthily with disgusting bathrooms, dirty seats, random broken stuff, etc... These planes are a joke and United should be ashamed to use them on such long flights.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2016/10/10 for Seat 18A

I'm a flight attendant and I have to deadhead from Peoria to Chicago for work and I always fly this type of aircraft to Chicago. The ride to Chicago is only about 30 minutes so this size plane is great for the short ride. The plane is also normally not full at the time that I ride so that makes it even better. The exit row is the best for leg room. The seats in front of the exit row don't recline far because they don't want them to block the exit row. Infants/lap children have to sit at rows 3,7,11,21, and 24 because the extra oxygen masks are only at those seats so if you're trying to avoid crying babies don't sit at these rows. The front of the aircraft is always cooler than the rest of the cabin so if you get cold easily then you definitely need to sit toward the back. You will have to gate check your carry-ons because the overhead space is limited so don't even try to put your bags that have wheels into the overhead bin. I watched a man try to stuff is large bag into the overhead bin and he broke it so no one could use that overhead bin.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2016/08/20

I've flown on this aircraft many times and I typically try to sit toward the back of the plane than in the front. The front of the plane is always really cold and I hate being cold. I rather be a hot, sweaty mess than an ice cube. The bulkhead seats (1A, 3C, 3D) are not the best. United advertises them as premium seats but they're not really. The extra leg room they say is there is non-existent, unless you're 5'2" or smaller then you'll be comfortable. The only seats that have real leg room are the exit row seats. I'm often surprised how good the service is on these flights because typically there is only 1 flight attendant. I recently took a 45 minute flight from STL to ORD and I was surprised the flight attendant was able to service everyone drinks and snacks.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2016/08/01 for Seat 18D

Note that row 19 is equipped with infant oxygen masks/life vests and therefore children were placed from elsewhere on the place to behind the exit row (18)...

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2016/07/07

Despite being "premium" seats, the recline feature did not work for 18C or 18D. It was a 2 1/2 hour flight from HOU to HDN and was not crowded. No passengers behind us. Would have been nice and much, much more comfortable to have been able to recline.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2016/05/22 for Seat 22A

This is a small plane, so you don't expect much room, but you can actually stand up in the aisle if you are 6-ft tall. It would be very uncomfortable to sit in row A if you are over about 225lbs as the seats are very narrow.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2016/05/21 for Seat 4D

I'm 5'7", around 350 pounds. My butt is wide. I normally manage to fit into an airplane seat anyway, with the armrests down and a belt extender, and it's fine, even on little regional jets, but on this flight, I was unable to get all the way down into the seat and there was a low "armrest" that was unmovable against the wall, that was under me rather than next to me. It hurt! It hurt so much! Also, my knees were jammed into the seat ahead, and the guy in front of me leaned back! It was truly the most agonizing flight I've been on and I will make sure not to fly on this type of plane ever again. Thank goodness it was only an hour! And thank goodness the gentleman next to me in 4C was gracious about my encroaching. I usually don't encroach! These seats are TINY.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2016/05/02 for Seat 10D

This seat had good view from the window, just in front of the wing.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2016/03/13 for Seat 18C

United calls 18C a "Premium Economy" seat. It cost me an extra $56 to sit in that seat. In my opinion, this is an insulting ripoff to pay that much for NOTHING more than some extra legroom. Example: jetBlue charges $40 for the same type of exit seat and at least gives you early boarding, and it's $16 less expensive. But really, $40 is too much too. "Premium Economy" is a ridiculous description for these seats compared to how the rest of the industry uses that term. "Extra legroom" is the only fair way to describe it. #anotherunitedfail

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2015/11/24 for Seat 11C

Row 11 does not recline as it is just before the exit row. Row 12 is numbered as 18 (exit) row, and so on.. so there is no row 12 thru 17 in this version. Also there is no seat B. What would be seat B (per American Airlines) is called seat C by United and the rightmost window seat is called D.

Submitted by Tim S on 2015/11/09 for Seat 6A

I'm 6' and 275 lbs. It's a tight fit on these regional jets. For a 2-3 hour flight this single seat is ok. I would not want to be in the C/D side of the plane.

Submitted by Jeremy Y on 2015/06/22 for Seat 18A

Fairly standard exit row seat. The half arm rest can be somewhat annoying, but does not take away from flight experience. Increased legroom in this row is a godsend in such a small aircraft.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2015/06/12 for Seat 5A

Flew this aircraft 6/7/15, DAY -> EWR. Seat was very comfortable for this short(ish) flight. Good visibility. Legroom was not an issue (I'm 5'9".) Flying solo for work, I admit I don't mind the 1 - 2 layout.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2015/05/24 for Seat 1A

Excellent seat. You probably are gate-checking your carry ons, so the lack of storage isn't a problem. On some aircraft the window is slightly scratched due to the jetbridge connecting. Sometimes, I have noticed that this seat is a bit cooler than the rest of the plane, but it is nothing that is bothersome. I always fly this aircraft when operated by ExpressJet. The crew is always extremely better than mainline United. When in this seat, you are very close to the crew, and it does provide a more personal flying experince because the crew make an effort to get to know in this seat. I love to take night flights, because the aircraft is very dark, almost pitch black, and when you stick in some earphones, it provides such a comfortable flying experience. It is very peaceful to just sit there in complete darkness. However, this peace is broken when the crew turns on the galley light (with the seat is adjacent to) however, they do close the curtain so light only seeps throught the cracks. I highly reccomend this seat, and fly this aircraft regularly. Also, the legroom is amazing.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2015/01/30 for Seat 1A

Seat 1A had additional legroom, was very noisy, and had a cold draft.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2014/12/26 for Seat 3c and 3d

Bulk head seat. Middle armrest doesnt go up. No extra floor space for my guide dog. Was better when we were sested in row 22 there sre no center floor mounting bars so dog could go down and under both sests and still had room for our feet. The single left seat has good head space, but if youre on the larger side it is narrow to sit in.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2014/10/14 for Seat 9a

The airplane is very loud. I suggest bringing ear plugs or music. also most of the time your carry on will need to be gate checked.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2014/09/18 for Seat 21

This is really a small airplane. I was originally assigned to an "A" seat; however, my small attaché would not fit under the seat. Fortunately there was a "C" seat I could switch. The seat cushion, like most regionals, was certainly hard but ok for the short 80 minute flight. The airline (Trans State) is a code share with United Express. Considering there was only one flight attendant, the service was excellent and the pilots professional.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2014/08/27 for Seat 24d

I found this seat to be as good if not better than 22d on two other flights. I am not a tall or large person and never recline my seat. so found that lack of no importance.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2014/07/07 for Seat A1

I have to agree with the previous comments on this seat, but it is a mixed bag. You do get a lot of room, but you'll probably have to gate check your carry ons. That's not the best of things if you have a laptop. Overall, if you are traveling alone for work, you'll probably want an "A" seat if possible.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2014/04/11 for Seat 1A

1A is directly next to the main exit, because the plane is so small the cowling around the jetway rubs against the window next to this seat and it is effectively frosted with scratches. You get light, but can't see anything. Also the tray table folds into the arm of the chair and is small and very low. Also there is no overhead bin on the left side of the plane (they start above row 3 on the right side of the plane) so there is no overhead bin and no under-seat storage for this seat. The legroom is great.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2014/04/01 for Seat 6c

This seat was abnormally hot. Perhaps due to an engine under the floor. There was no air vent on the ground but the floor was warm enough to melt my bag of m&m's.
