Pleasantly surprised by the Boeing 717:

First time on an ol’ McD/D-based bird!

Pros: Takes a roller bag no problem, economy seats are wider than expected and in shockingly good shape—Whole aircraft is in great shape, frankly.

Cons: Windows are break-neck low, 5’9” is pushing it in these otherwise comfortable MC seats.

Uglier than a CRJ, but apples to apples (35ish minute flight) probably better.
