American Airlines Domestic First, Chicago O’Hare – Minneapolis St. Paul, Embraer 175: Average

The final segment of this itinerary to Minneapolis was a regional flight operated by an Embraer 175.

Boarding

I left the lounge 20 minutes before the scheduled boarding time and reached the gate about ten minutes before boarding began. It started on time, with ConciergeKey passengers and passengers requiring special assistance first, followed by Group 1, which I was part of.

Cabin and welcome

The welcome was pleasant as I stepped into the Domestic First cabin of this Embraer 175, arranged in a 1-2 configuration.

This time, I had a solo seat, both a window and an aisle seat at once.

A pre-departure drink was offered, and I chose an iced water.

Boarding was completed and we left the gate five minutes ahead of schedule.

Service and catering

The service began just after the seatbelt sign was switched off, with the crew taking orders.

I asked for sparkling water, which was brought promptly, and I picked up a pack of Biscoff from the snack basket.

The rest of the flight passed uneventfully.

Arrival and disembarkation

We arrived at the gate around twenty minutes early, and I was quickly on my way to the rideshare area.

Bottom line

A somewhat dull flight with a rather unmotivated crew.
