The flight was on a 72 passenger regional jet. Plane was very comfortable--leather seats and plenty of room. Actually I thought it was more comfortable that the MD-80 aircraft that are commonly flown on this route by American Airlines.

One advantage of this plane is that it loads and unloads quickly. We arrived to Washington 17 minutes early even though there was considerable rain.

Very nice flight. I will likely fly US Air Express rather than American the next time I go to Washington as American is seems so commonly delayed and now it is charging to check one suitcase. At least so far, US Air Express does not have such a charge.
