The CRJ-700 is a cool ride in the air, kinda like a sports car version of a
passenger plane. I fly them whenever I can.

If it's one of the original models (-200) the window line is too low, enough
to give a neck ache if you look out for any length of time. Otherwise they
are fine (for a commuter), but I'd avoid them for flights of more than an
hour or so.

The bombardier web site had a very good fuselage cross section for the 2 planes.

The Dash-8 has higher ceiling, and normal height windows (because the floor
is lower). However, there is less leg room for window seats due to the wall
being at more of an angle on the Dash-8 than for the CRJ.

Maximum width is the same, but width at floor level is bigger on CRJ than DASH-8.

I fly on them for regional flights up to two hours and they are okay. Exit
rows are the best seats on the plane. One good thing about these planes is
that they are fast. I find that they are more comfortable an definitely
less noisy compared to Dash-8s
