American Airlines Embraer ERJ 175 V1 seat review by William Langlois #36640

American offered an upgrade to first class for $90 so I had to jump on the offer. This was my first time flying on an American E175 and I came away completely impressed. The first class cabin was set up in a 1x2 seat arrangement. This was one of the NexGen models and it had what appeared to be pretty new. I am not a small man being 6’2” and a slight 350 pounds. The seat was completely wide enough and the legroom was substantial. I should have taken the first row which felt like looking across the Grand Canyon. The flight attendant was excellent and kept our drinks topped off. There was no meal on this 2 1/2 hour flight which was a bit odd considering it was a 7:12AM flight. I would definitely pay to upgrade if given the upgrade offer in the future.
