American Airlines Embraer ERJ 175 V1 seat review by Ryan #38048

I have very mixed feeling about the flight. First the American flight was late arriving at my airport, so we were rushed to get aboard to not be too late taking off. That's fine except once boarded we sat for 45 mins because the flight computer needed to be reset. First they tried a soft reboot, but that didn't resolve the issue we were told, so they had to do a hard reboot, turning the plane entirely off for 6-7 mins then restarting everything. Fortunately it worked and 10 mins later, we were up in the air. The plane and my seat were fine. Comfortable and had decent room both width and leg room. The young man sitting next to me was pretty tall and he could def have used a little more leg room. The flight attendants were very friendly. I would have given American better service rating, except for once we landed an hour late, we didn't even get to go directly to the LAX terminal. Instead we ended up at some small satellite terminal, had to wait for buses to pick us up and take us to the main terminal, making many passengers even more late and frantic to catch their connection flights. So there were definitely pros and cons to the flight and American airlines.
