In Transit

Pictured above is an Embraer 190, the exact type of plane I’m flying today from Seattle back home to Accordion City this morning. Air Canada’s seat layout for their Embraer 190s is two on the left side of the aisle and two on the right, each seat has its own entertainment unit and each pair of seats has a power outlet. I expect to be far more comfortable than I was in United’s “Economy Minus” section, where I sat on the way here.
Regular posting should resume this evening.
