I am on United Express 7778, Seat #19. Two questions, does the arm rest raise up on both sides or one side or neither? Also, does this plane have 19 rows? I thought the ERJ 145′s only have 18 rows?

You are correct, the United Express ERJ 145 aircraft only has 18 rows. So how, you might wonder, is it possible you are seated in row 19?

United has code share agreements with two airlines that provide ERJ 145 service for United Express – ExpressJet and Trans State Airlines. Both operate essentially identical versions of the aircraft, with one small difference – the ExpressJet row numbering skips right over row 13. Because the rows go directly from 12 to 14, ExpressJet ERJ 145s have a row 19, whereas Trans State Airlines ERJ 145s only go to row 18.

So, if you are in row 19 on a United Express ERJ 145, you can be sure you are flying on an ExpressJet code share flight.

As to the armrests. The center armrests on this aircraft are moveable on the AB side of the plane. The rest are not.

Now you can relax knowing that your flight does not have an unlucky row 13.
