American should really consider expanding it's premium economy cabin to offer more seats so more people can take advantage of the service.

Thank you. I just switched my booking from BA to AA for my LHR-ORD flight in May in PE. BA has disappointed me too many times & the service I received from AA on my last rebooking exceeded what I ever got on BA🙂.

I've flown with BA and AA premium economy, and in terms of food and entertainment selection, I'd lean toward AA since they have just offer a lot more of, both dinner and breakfast, AA also has a huge library of entertainments. Seats are comparable in comfort, but I do appreciate the adjustable headrest on AA which on BA's is not adjustable.

Flying Main Cabin Extra LAX-SYD (going to the Women's World Cup). The only thing I dislike that you like are the screens mounted to the wall showing stuff like the flight map. On transpacific flights, they are left on the entire flight so a mask is essential (lucky, I have zero problems sleeping on a flight. I managed to get to platinum pro on AAdvantage so I get Main Cabin Extra automatically at no cost (and I do get the extra legroom but an economy seat). Enjoy the video.

@kirstygriffiths749 25 күн бұрын

They had a good recline, as the gap between seats is a good size you get a fairly good recline. The seats are nice and wide, it would be easy to sleep.

If for international flights ,it can go as twice as more ! Sometimes,the own airline sites have better prices & also travel agencies do have discounted prices !! When it comes to change of flights/ plans & cancelation, the 3rd parties like Expedia will give you hard times as they won't be able to reach at by calling ,only texts/ email !! And they won't answer/ reply right away ! So,if you know that there will be a chance to change ,or cancel ,you should go with the particular airline's site ,or agency ! 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💞
