I Flew American’s CRJ-700 "Bombardier"… Is It Really That Bad? | GSP–DCA

Join me on a morning flight from Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) to Washington Reagan National Airport (DCA) aboard an American Eagle Bombardier CRJ-700. I originally had seat 19A, but received an upgrade to a much roomier seat 8A! In this trip report, we’ll check out GSP Airport, the Escape Lounge, boarding, the CRJ-700 cabin, in-flight service, Wi-Fi and entertainment, the tiny lavatory, and finally the beautiful approach into Washington, D.C. over the Potomac River. The CRJ-700 may be showing its age, but was it really as bad as its reputation suggests? Watch the full trip report and decide for yourself! 00:00 GSP to DCA Trip Report 00:31 Greenville-Spartanburg Airport 02:30 GSP Escape Lounge 04:35 Our CRJ-700 Arrives 04:50 Boarding the CRJ-700 05:50 Business Class Seat 8A 06:20 Pushback & Taxi 10:14 Takeoff from GSP 13:18 Wi-Fi & In-Flight Entertainment 13:42 In-Flight Service 14:25 CRJ-700 Lavatory 15:00 Cruising to Washington D.C. 17:20 Potomac River Approach 19:40 Landing at DCA 21:55 Welcome to Washington D.C. 22:55 Final Thoughts 📍 Route: GSP → DCA ✈️ Aircraft: Bombardier CRJ-700 🇺🇸 Airline: American Eagle 🎥 Filmed: September 2, 2026 📷 Camera: DJI Osmo Pocket 3 🎬 Video: 4K UHD Airline: ‪@AmericanAirlines‬ ☕ Support WalkFlyExplore / Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/WalkFlyExplore Thanks for watching!
