US 1711 IAH-CLT 7:00 AM CT-10:16 AM ET 2C (upgraded)
A fellow frequent flier who was attending the same event as me in Houston met me at the airport around 5:45 am to check in. I had gotten there first and checked in without issue. He also checked in quickly, and because we knew there would be no meal, we ate breakfast before departing and bought two danishes to go.
Boarding started on time and we boarded quickly. The flight was very full, especially for 7:00 am on a Sunday morning. The airplane was a very worn 737 without the newly reupholstered seats. The window shade at 2A was also broken. However, we did receive a pre-departure beverage.
We pushed back a few minutes early and were airborne at 7:15 am. The flight was very quiet and uneventful. The service was the same as I received on Friday when I flew to Houston, a full beverage and snack basket service. However, this basket had Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips. There was also no in-flight entertainment and there were only drinks, no snacks, for sale in coach.
We arrived at 10:15 am, one minute early.

This flight boarded about 15-20 minutes before scheduled departure. It was a very warm spring day in Charlotte and the plane was even more so. That is one thing I hate about the Dash 8, that it does not cool off until the engines are running and has been flying for a while. We pushed back four minutes before scheduled departure at 12:53 pm and were airborne at 1:07 pm. There were no beverages purchased by customers on this short flight. The flight was 38 minutes in flight and we landed 12 minutes early at 1:45 pm.
