I flew this route IRL on this model of aircraft once half a decade ago, back when American still had MD-80s. At 6’6", it was about however long the flight time was too long in those cramped seats. The windows being at sternum level didn’t help much, either, giving the jet a somewhat claustrophobic feel. Returning the next evening on an E175 was a much-welcome change! Nevertheless, I feel like I need to do this route in Infinite Flight and share it, while my memory of the trip remains relatively fresh.
