On a good day, AA can have a seriously impressive international business class. It’s just those rare poor experiences that seem to get the most attention. If they can just be more consistent, I think that would go a long way.

As a flight attendant let me advise you to feel free and have the gate agent verify with the crew that your special meals have been loaded moments before boarding. Ultimately it's up to the purser to check the manifest before boarding to make sure we have everything we need. Sometimes we get busy, especially when there's a discrepancy during our equipment inspections, and we forget to check our meal carts. If we don't the gate agent will usually compensate with meal vouchers among other compensations.

There’s no incentive for them to improve because of their omnipresence. If you have options due to your budget, location, and airport size, you can boycott an airline for life. Most people just want the cheapest, easiest route, so they’ll go for whoever fits the bill.

I enjoy your reviews so much. My priority is a good night sleep, and I have had consistently good experiences on AA’s business class and first class out of Los Angeles to Tokyo and London. The bedding and the crew’s care have been really positive for me. And when I can’t sleep, the inflight entertainment is tops. As far as cuisine, that sometimes seems carefully engineered to be just good enough.

AA service is no where near the the ME3 airlines and the AA J class is similar to Cathay Pacific (CX). Having flown AA F & J classes, the J seats are much better than BA old Club World seats. Now that BA are rolling out the Club Suites in their longhaul fleets, it is much better and positions BA back in front. Happy New Year Dan

@9:26 the number of air nozzles doesn’t correspond to the LOPA. The 777-232ER was delivered 2-3-2 recliner in J, which was also configuration with the angle flat Recaro seats (2008-2016).

@120ail1 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Dan and Happy New Year! It's just my two cents, but I think the AA business class is just a reflection of the priorities of US business travelers. They seem to want elite status and miles more than good service and food. I had chats with people I work with about their pre-covid travel and was perplexed that they turned down the option to fly airlines like Singapore and Qatar, so they could fly on AA, United or Delta metal to earn elite qualifying dollars and Million Miler qualifying miles.

Hi all, I have an upcoming flight from Barcelona to Miami and JFK to Barcelona in business. How do I know if I am getting the weird concept D or better BE aerospace config? The seat map on AA just shows squares and the seat maps on SeatGuru look a bit outdated. I have read that if the seat map just shows squares it means the cabin is all forward facing which would mean a super diamond layout - is this correct information?

I also got the opportunity to review AAL B77W from LAX-MIA a 5hrs flight. In May 2021, the service was still limited due to COVID. But the experience was absolutely surprising! I agree with you. I got a full-service breakfast like in a long-haul flight. The bar was totally filled with cookies, snacks, and drinks. FA was awesome, Safran Cirrus seats are comfortable, got a blanket and a pillow. The best part is that I got a fare LAX-SAL via MIA for just $250!! I also tried Super diamond seats (LAX-DFW) service wasn't that good but it the Definitely a great opportunity to review the 777. Love your videos keep going!

Dan, my partner is gluten free and his meals in Business Class are often very disappointing. Would you consider doing a video on airlines and how they cater for various dietary requirements? Sometimes you and Oscar are delighted with your meals but often it seems little or no effort has been made by the airline to present you with a culinary feast. Happy New Year to you both from Scotland.

@Skipbo000 Жыл бұрын

In the service industry gluten free is code for "I need a reason for special attention." Why? Because it's been proven that just because something is gluten-free doesn't mean it's healthy, in fact it usually has more sugar and additives than regular food and the fact that you're on vacation or eating out and expect a special dish created just for you because you demand it is totally ridiculous.

@kshdorii Жыл бұрын

@@Skipbo000 People usually ask for gluten free meals when they have gluten sensivity, if they eat food which contains gluten they get sick from it for days, not a very pleasant way to spend a vacation so it is a valid request, any professional food service provider should be considerate of dietary requirements.

Honestly this is so surprising, I fly AA and look so forward to it for many years now, from London to Miami, the seating is great and the food is so so good, always best ingredients really it is always gourmet food, nothing plastic (except on the few flights during the pandemic) but they never serve the whole meal in one tray. Connecting from a BA business flight then coming to AA business, a world of difference. I had one bad AA business from Dallas to London, the plane was old and food was bad but other than that the other 20 or so, all great. Hope you can fly London-Miami on AA now after Covid, would love to see a video for that.

Hey Dan, thanks for the review, gave me a lot of insight on booking future flights with American. I have just recently started flying with them again, but one thing about the change fee. I flew with them to and from Miami this past November during Thanksgiving weekend, but had to change the day of Thanksgiving. I had to pay a change fee of over $100, so the change fee being waived is not entirely true. Maybe it’s for specific routes, other factors have to be in play, or maybe it’s due to the fact I flew on a holiday, not sure myself, but just wanted you to know that American have not waived their change fees entirely.
