Flying on United's CRJ 550 Inaugural Flight
On October 27, United introduced the CRJ-550 to the industry as a comfortable way to fly on a regional jet. The aircraft will fly under the United Express brand and be operated by GoJet Airlines. Although the aircraft was originally a CRJ 700, it was renamed as the CRJ-550 because it only has 50 seats. The cabin consists of 10 First-Class seats, 20 Economy Plus seats and 20 standard economy seats.
Joining me onboard the inaugural to Harrisburg were iTrip Report and Zach Griff from the Points Guy. I recommend checking out their reviews of the flight as subscribing!

They should do this on the CRJ900 and whichever airline acquired the CRJ1000, they shoud do this as well.

I like United‘s new livery, however to be quite frank, the blue and white scheme they had prior to merging with Continental is my favorite of all time.

@The MAUZ I agree. I like the battleship gray though as well.
I recently flew from Chicago back home to Harrisburg on a CRJ-550, I hope these planes take over the regional aircraft space because it was amazing. I love that United Airlines was showing my home airport some love with this inaugural flight!
That guy who promised a 7:30 departure clearly jinxed the departure time haha
your a well polished young professional videographer who loves traveling and sharing :)
Their walk up snack bar is legit, wish more planes had that!
Great video! Love to see how to crj550 improves regional travel!
I love the editing of this video, great job!
thanks for sharing the 550 with us Q
Went plane spotting at ord, am positive I saw your exact plane!

Yes,definitely want to see an MD80 or 90 vid
Nice A Trip Report for UA CRJ550 That's Awesome fa sure!!!!
6:54 Oh well, the inaugural _delayed_ flight :D Nice video
Stunnnning takeoff!
EDIT: I hadn't made it through the vid but I gotta say those fold out tables, what a cool design. I fly on Infinite Flight and I will say I wasn't a big fan of United's new livery at first. It grew on me after while though. I like the CRJ jets, more than the Embraer.... The 900 to me is just right, the 1000 are nice but that 900 just does it for me. Awesome vid OP I really enjoyed it. Got a sub from me.
The CL is a nice craft/ I love flying on the CL-CRJ series aircraft. smooth little planes! next favorite is the a321. lots of legroom on the a321!
Awesome video man liked
Finally the first person to do a United new livery flight
Battleship grey without question it is my favorite livery of all time

Mine is the earth livery new and old
i’ve once flew on the CRJ 550, in economy, it was smooth for a hour flight. seats were quitce comforble, and snacks were good.
By far Q your videos are the best I have seen and I mean that I'm in the airline industry for long time as I am a cabin crew my self and a aviation geek all my life 🤣🤣
Have a chance later this year to fly on one of these while heading to a convention in Chicago. Looking forward to seeing how it compares to the old 200-ER and LR’s of yore
this Q re-view is brought to you by Coke with ice and Biscoff. after a late start due to a couple of mechanical delays, this turns into a wonderful flight and is well worth watching. when you finish, hit the like and sub button!! great photography and editing earn this a well-done Quebec Foxtrot Sierra and thanks for sharing!!
Basically for the BTS of this video watch ITrip Reports video it literally has Quintin in every shot! 😂
Glad they are flying these between DSM and ORD. Usually it’s either an A320/B737 variant, or the dreaded CRJ-200. Have to try to catch a 550 here sometime.
Nice video
looked like a great experience, thanks for sharing. fly safe my friend
Another KZreadr posted his vlog and I saw you in this same plane :-)
Quite interesting I work on the crj200 700 and 900 and I’ve never seen a fridge in any of those but the seats haven’t changed
I think the MDT approach is one of the most scenic
Cdmx,México bellísimo el avión por fuera y por dentro, un abrazo para mis héroes Cap. Y P.O. Féliz vuelo Dio los cuide, y bello el Aeropuerto
Great video as always dude How about Air NZ between LAX & LHR before they pull that route next year
sorry you were delayed...but still glad you were able to be there
What an amazing report! I watched on my tv! Simply spectacular!!!
I prefer the new United livery over the old one. Great video. I just wished they were flying this plane out of Denver
Nice video Q! Have you seen Jeb Brook`s trip report on this aircraft? They tried to do something in order to make it more comfortable, but it doesn't look as comfortable as an Embraer, is it? Thanks for sharing pal,
You are dressed in a Siberian hockey club jersey from the city of Novosibirsk. It is good to see. They have a beautiful Tolmachevo Airport
It's still a CRJ-700. They just used different seats arranged differently with updated snack options.
The old united livery on the Dreamliner is my favourite.
I watched Jed Brooks first to Greensboro, then QFS, after that, THE Points Guy news, then lastly iTrip report.
I LOL'd at "We're technically not the inaugural flight anymore."
The relax plane spotting will make me an aviator and relaxing me before light looking a copa airlines taking off to Cartagena and my flight if is empty and I don’t look a plane over me in cruise speed
Q, with this being the first of the 550 then I Trip Channel was there an I think he caught ya sitting in your seat.😂
As someone who flew in regular economy - the storage closets for the bigger carry-ons are great but other than that it's pretty much the same as any other flight. The seats are new but not particularly comfortable. As long as the flights are short (i.e. under two hours) then it's tolerable. I just hope the flight attendant doesn't have to waste too much time with passengers who will be tempted to self-upgrade - when I flew half of the seats in first and economy plus were empty.
jeb brooks flew on one of those yesterday to greensboro
Quick glimpse of ATP aviation at Harrisburg airport..
7:48 the "fox" alley... that's home base for me as well
2:05 I like the New blue livery instead of the old livery! I think the new blue livery goes better with United

Yeah. The outgoing livery is 1991 Continental really. As a Conti fan it just doesn’t seem the same seeing that livery on a lesser product than 90’s-00’s Continental. But I like the new livery. It combines the best of Continental’s look with the awesome “blue rising” late 00’s livery of pre-merger United.
New livery!
Any United livery with the tulip.
I’m a new subscriber. I am flying with United in about 5 months from now. But I don’t know it it’ll be on a CRJ 200 or the 550. Either way I’m looking forward to it after not flying for 21 years. Lol
I was on this flight with u and I was going to say hi but I didn’t think it was u. P.s. Harrisburg is my home town
Oh Go Jet, never change lol

Nice video. I’m surprised that for an inaugural flight with ribbon cutting ceremony and all that the plane wasn’t 100% ready and needed maintenance.
You didn't show the carry-on baggage storage?!? That's the best feature of this jet.
I was waiting for you to post this Quintin, you were in Jen Brooks video yesterday lol. Awesome as usual buddy
I know I’m late. Upon entering the aircraft, did you have to crouch down/bend down because of your height?
Great video keep it up !👏
Awesome video! That cabin looks amazing for a regional jet =D
Please note that moving from a higher elevation to a lower one is spelled ...descent ...just FYI
I'll be flying her in a few weeks. Will try to make a trip report :)

Really nice plane, so great to be on the first flight!
So is the CRJ 550 an entirely new aircraft or just a reconfigured aircraft? Is it just a 700 that ual sent to mirabel to be reconfigured? Are there like new avionics or just the cabin? Great vid by the way Quintin!

Reconfigure crj 700 with 50 seats like crj 200
I like the United's new livery especially the tail. But to be honest, this livery might be as good as United's Rising Tulip livery. I just love that blue mixture. But to be honest, the new livery is my favorite because of the way they but on the world United on their planes.
how many in the fleet and how many more coming?
At first I didn't like to new livery, but I'm starting to like it
Nice job! I hope this plane flies to Denver sometime in the future!
Is the snack bar for first class only or is it accessible to all passengers?
Crj are nice jets
What was wrong with the jet bridge?
My English is bad but what was the flight attendant name on this flight
This was probably the most amazing flight for the avgeeks. So many familiar youtubers!
I like the old livery of united airlines better, because that is the last livery of Continental airlines

What was your flight attendant name on this flight what’s her name
i made itripreport and qfs aviation to do a trip report together also you should fly on deltas airbus a220 sometime
That was an MD90 from Delta. You don't need fricken IFE for a damn 1 hour flight, look out the window or read a book. No new plane problem with the folding table, you didn't let it slide all the way down before you rotated it into the arm rest.
3:10 When I rode a CRJ-900 The same thing happened!

Super jealous avgeek here that y’all got to go on this incredible looking aircraft. Maybe one day they send them to Denver? Great report and as always a huge like from me.
I FLY UNITED A LOT BUT I CANNOT STAND SMALL AIRCRAFT REGARDLESS!! RIGHT NOW I GUESS IS CONSIDERED "LOW SEASON" FOR SOME ROUTES, AND SO, INTO AND OUT OF LAX I'M GETTING QUITE A FEW 50 SEATERS!! SOMETIMES I CONNECT IN SFO, JUST FOR A BETTER CHANCE OF A MORE COMFORTABLE AIRCRAFT. JUST SAYIN'.
It is a CRJ700 . There is no oficial certification for a CRJ 550. They renamed for no reason. It is a CRJ700.
