Republic Airways is one of the largest regional airline operators in the United States, flying under the American Eagle, Delta Connection, and United Express brands. Republic operates Embraer E170 and E175 jets on short-haul routes connecting smaller U.S. cities to major hubs — you may fly Republic without realizing it, as tickets are sold under the major carrier's name. FaresMatch searches all major airline fares including regional connections to find you the best available price on your route.

Tips for booking regional flights
Republic flights are sold as American, Delta, or United tickets — you don't book Republic directly. Your ticket, baggage allowance, and loyalty earning follow the major carrier's policies.
Republic's Embraer E175 aircraft offer a 1-2 or 2-2 seating configuration with more legroom than many mainline narrow-body jets — often a comfortable experience on routes under 2 hours.
On routes served by multiple regional operators, FaresMatch compares American, Delta, and United fares to find the best price — regardless of which regional carrier operates the actual flight.
