EMB-175s are 76-passenger regional jets produced by Brazilian aerospace manufacturer Embraer. They are newer planes and they have a first-class cabin in addition to the economy. These planes feel slightly more spacious than typical regional jets, and the overhead bins are larger. Still, they are still regional jets, which means there may be times when you have to board or deplane by stairs instead of a jetway.
