@@BlackJezuzBaby pretty good! The food was good, the seat was comfortable, and I used the free entertainment package to watch a movie on my tablet. On the way back 3 seats were broken in 1st class, so they bumped me to an exit row in the main cabin, but gave me a $500 credit so it was all good.
I'm so happy to see First Class returning!!! We are on trip #7 to Vegas in about 5 weeks since First class vanished!! I hope we have the same experience again!!
First time in a long time I bought AA First for a 3.5 hour flt, wanted the first off thing, and priority TSA lane, checked baggage and a hot lunch with drinks and a comfortable seat. Econ.with checked bags vs. First was 150 dollars more. Worth it as I don't fly as much as I used to; days of coach are pretty much over for me. Smart move to pay the upgrade considering your 2 hr. delay!
Flew AA business class a few times in the last year, Cancun, Liberia and Vegas with the last in late June of this year. Comfortable, but the food was pretty poor. On one the option was a salad with no protein or a cheese and processed meat plate. Neither are what I would call a meal. The best I got was a decent turkey sandwich, the worst a veggie sandwich which literally had one slice of provolone cheese, a leaf of spinach and two sad slices of red pepper. It was as close to a bread sandwich as you could get. Very short on drinks as well. Carry two of each type of beer, and on our morning flight couldn't even give 6 of the 20 people in the cabin a mimosa before they ran out. Once again, can't complain about the comfort, and if you have your own device the lack of IFE isn't bad, but it seems lacking when it comes to the amenities/accessories.
I really enjoyed this video thank you for sharing! I did this flight in December and it was very basic, look forward to the return to normal service when I fly this route again next month.
NYC flyer what's up man, I forgot to mention that American airlines 737 800 or MAX 8 added a second daily flight to Piarco International Airport Trinidad 🇹🇹 POS ✈️ from Miami International Airport MIA 🇺🇸.
how accurate is this about the HOT FOOD situation? lol im looking at a $800 first class flight with AA and NEED to make 10000% SURE that this is FACTS and not just someone who got lucky that THAT specific flight had it. i have a cross country flight and would love to take 1st class if hot food is indeed a guaranteed because of the comfort of the seats as well.
3:20 Is AA ever on time? Every flight I ever flown on them its delayed. I think the union is always doing work-slow as leverage in salary negotiations.
I’m glad to see that American finally brought back hot food. Like most of the other major US carriers, they played to pandemic for as long as they could. And that was a sweet deal for only $250 extra. However, AA needs to bring back seat back IFE. Great video!❤️👍✈️
I don't know I kinda like not having IFEs because it leaves more foot space since the entertainment boxes are kinda a nucience when your 6'4 and kick your legs under the seat to stretch. At the same time I feel for families of 4 or 5 who would need to pack so much extra to entertain their children.
Since I fly out of LAS probably 7 times a year, the priority security with first class is huge especially leaving on Sundays when TSA can be 1 1/2 hours. In DC it's much appreciated because it's a bloody shitshow as a Canadian who isn't eligible for TSA Pre.
Looks like a good experience as their is no control over mother nature for delays. $350 for a first class tix on any airline is a steal 👌 I have paid double up to $850 for economy service. I wish I could score a deal that great 👍
Hi! I found your vid looking for an answer to my question. It looks like you were in the last row of first class. My question is, do you feel like it reclines as far back as the other first class seats, being that it has a divider behind it? Thank you:)
I got a flight from Dallas to Cleveland round trip for $158. I’m being offered first class for $136 each way should I upgrade? What’s the big deal over all??
This comment is 2 months old so it’s probably too late But it’s always worth it I have always flown cabin As someone with severe anxiety I honestly get frustrated and even claustrophobic with how tight and narrow cabin seats are Maybe that’s just me But there’s a reason why first class exists I don’t have to even worry about putting stuff on the overhead bin when a carry on bag perfectly fits in front of me plus my personal bag So yeah it’s awesome !
Great Video! I'm glad you didn't completely crap on Americans personal device entertainment system. I honestly think it's pretty good, I'd much rather use my own device then on a moniter IMO. Also, do you think this service is better than any of the other American airlines (delta, United, jetblue?)
Perhaps a little more light on the subject would have helped - It’s premium economy/ domestic business at best - sure for $300 is fine but it’s not worth anything more than a better seat - US airlines I’m afraid are shit- thanks for the nice video though 👍
Great video but oof what a dump of a first class product. I flew transcon on delta one and jetblue mint this past week. Even normal delta F recliners look way better than this.
I travel AA regularly out of necessity . I pretty much always go first class but am not too impressed with their customer relations. I think the "scamdemic" was simply an excuse for AA and others to cut costs on their service. If they had a business class from DFW to LAX I would opt for that instead of First. Until they get their shit together; just not worth it anymore!
I prefer Americans entertainment system over United’s United’s is very annoying after hooking up to their wifi I tried to watch a movie but it wouldn’t let me and turns out it did that for the entire other ones
Thanks! I referred to it as First Class because that’s what the airline calls it. If I labeled it as Business Class, I’d get even more comments telling me that I’m calling it the wrong name.
I never understand why bloggers devote so much time to taxi, takeoff and landing footage. If those things hadn’t happened there would not be a video, right?
$ 250 for an upgrade is not really a deal. You can ask the gate agent for an upgrade and if there's a seat and you're nice about it, they will do it for free or a lot cheaper than what you paid.
Another great video/review!
Thanks Adam!
Thank you for this amazing video!I really enjoyed the way that you explained everything!
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for this detailed review. I am flying American 1st class next week on a 737-800, its been a while so I wasn't sure what to expect.
Thanks! Enjoy your flight Mike
How was it?

weird to see the china southern flight at 1:06. didnt know they resumed service already
Great video! For some reason even with the other amenities, seeing those seats with no IFE just makes AA feel subpar, particularly in first class.
Yeah I really wish they would put some screens in. Thanks for watching
I’ll take new seats over ife any day…. Not like the old grandpa seats 😂
@@nycflyertravel Honestly I don't mind them. It's unique and it has the same feel as IFE. They even have you a device holder to watch them.
That 2 hour delay melted the ice cream.
OMG that looks like real food!! I haven't seen real food on a plane in .... ya a long ass time. I would pay more for that service!!
I definitely agree, that was money well spent! Glad it was such a positive experience!
Thanks for the comment!

I also will take the upgrade offer when I get it for the exact reasons you mentioned.

Another awesome video man. The delay was unfortunate, but not the end of the world. Rip peoples connecting flights😭😭😭👍🏽
Thanks! Luckily I didn’t need to connect on that flight 😂
I love your videos! Plus..swooon!
Haha thanks

@Jason Fitch i agree

At the same time I feel for families of 4 or 5 who would need to pack so much extra to entertain their children.
just picked one up on a 737-800 for $150...kinda excited to try it out
No tv??
Since I fly out of LAS probably 7 times a year, the priority security with first class is huge especially leaving on Sundays when TSA can be 1 1/2 hours. In DC it's much appreciated because it's a bloody shitshow as a Canadian who isn't eligible for TSA Pre.
Man the 737-800 is my favorite plane besides the DC-10
Yeah, it’s definitely comfortable to fly on. Thanks for watching!
You guys must not have flown on a 787-10
Why do some first class look different I seen one with your own seat and they can lay down
I like what I see. But to pay for first class and have no tv during flight, the price better be reasonable. Especially NYC to Vegas
Greetings, do this seats recling?
Looks like a good experience as their is no control over mother nature for delays. $350 for a first class tix on any airline is a steal 👌 I have paid double up to $850 for economy service. I wish I could score a deal that great 👍
Thanks for the comment! Yeah, $350 for such a long flight was a great deal. Hopefully I can come across something like this again.
Did seat 4F reclines or limited recline due to bulkhead wall?
Yeah it reclined and the space was fine
Hi! I found your vid looking for an answer to my question. It looks like you were in the last row of first class. My question is, do you feel like it reclines as far back as the other first class seats, being that it has a divider behind it? Thank you:)
Hi, yeah I felt like the recline was fine.
@@nycflyertravel Ok, thank you...I appreciate your vid & reply:)
Is 90 dollars good for a first class upgrade ?
I got a flight from Dallas to Cleveland round trip for $158. I’m being offered first class for $136 each way should I upgrade? What’s the big deal over all??
This comment is 2 months old so it’s probably too late
But it’s always worth it
I have always flown cabin
As someone with severe anxiety I honestly get frustrated and even claustrophobic with how tight and narrow cabin seats are
Maybe that’s just me
But there’s a reason why first class exists
I don’t have to even worry about putting stuff on the overhead bin when a carry on bag perfectly fits in front of me plus my personal bag
So yeah it’s awesome !
not having a seat back monitor is a huge negative
Yeah, totally agree.
Great Video! I'm glad you didn't completely crap on Americans personal device entertainment system. I honestly think it's pretty good, I'd much rather use my own device then on a moniter IMO.
Also, do you think this service is better than any of the other American airlines (delta, United, jetblue?)
Hmm the service on this flight was really good, I’d say it’s on par with Delta and United. JetBlue is by far the best. Thanks for watching!
Why does 1st class just look like a crappy business class?
Roomier seat? Absolutely. AA's newer seat? Absolutely not. No back support for longer flights becomes VERY noticeable.
Wonder if AA will bring back more than 1 snack in economy
I doubt it
Fly to Omaha sometime please
Definitely if I can find a cool flight
No back of seat entertainment!??? crazy. I hate bringing my ipad - Love so many other FC provided IFE
First class and first class. Poor business class I would say
I like my ice cream just like that
Perhaps a little more light on the subject would have helped - It’s premium economy/ domestic business at best - sure for $300 is fine but it’s not worth anything more than a better seat - US airlines I’m afraid are shit- thanks for the nice video though 👍
Dometic Firt Class pales in comparison with international flights... Blah....
1st class is NOT what is used to be. sad.
Great video but oof what a dump of a first class product. I flew transcon on delta one and jetblue mint this past week. Even normal delta F recliners look way better than this.
Nah I'd say this is pretty decent not a complete dump but definitely could be better.
First class is only worth it if you’re flying more than 5 hours .
That’s not first class, that’s premium economy.. first class seats at least become a bed.

Great video but definitely not real first class. That's just business.
Thanks! I referred to it as First Class because that’s what the airline calls it. If I labeled it as Business Class, I’d get even more comments telling me that I’m calling it the wrong name.
business class with no IFE. Even Aeromexico has IFE. I'll never understand Americans lack of luxury.
when you are 6'8, exit row and/or first/Business class are the best options
I never understand why bloggers devote so much time to taxi, takeoff and landing footage. If those things hadn’t happened there would not be a video, right?

There’s a chance of an upgrade it’s not guaranteed so for some it’s a better option
this is in nyc to las vegas😂
@@cruschishere9939 Right, meaning it's not even Flagship meaning it's not a REAL First class
