ERJ 145 airplane question

[DHonks]

hey everyone, I'm flying back to Wisconsin for a few days on Continental's regional jets, and I was wondering if I should select a seat on the 1 or the 2 side (IE, facing front, left side has 1 seat, right has 2). I chose the 1-side, but I'm just curious if anyone has any thoughts, since I've never flown in this configuration in the US.

while I don't know that particular plane, I have done a few regional jets between milwaukee and elsewhere

 

I have probably only had a more than half full flight on 1 out of every 5 that I have done. So either side works for space. Often the people who get sat next to someone move once the door closes.

I lived a breif stint in STL and flew on that same jet about 7 or 8 times, use the one seat side, it's nice to have your own area. If you are flying from west to east on the small jet like that, it's good to know too the flights are very very short. We made it from STL to MKE on trip in 38 minutes. It was awesome.
