  • It was my first time flying American Airlines long haul International flight! I flew on American Airlines Flagship B777-300/ER from Hong Kong to Los Angeles. I was pleasantly surprised by the product offerings on American Airlines Business Class! I am very used to the high standards on Asian and Middle Eastern carriers but AA did not disappoint on my international flight.
    On arrival at LAX, I checked out the AA flagship lounge and flagship dining.

    Now I've finally flown the big 3 US carriers (Delta, United and American) international. I must say i am very impressed by all 3 carriers making huge improvement in terms of hard and soft products on their International flights (domestic still a different game and story), they've all came a long way. I was very used to the Asian and Middle Eastern standard but I really think the US carriers are capable of delivering great flight experiences. There are still lot of rooms to improve as always. I will try to do a comparison video in the near future based on my experience.

      @ZattaBoy 5 років тому +2

      You are right. A comparison video would be very nice. They have a very good product but the experience must also be at par. That's why a personal touch of each staff to their passengers has been a signature of most AEM markets.

    I really enjoy all your videos. Thanks so much for your hard work and making it all available to us on You Tube. One of the things I most enjoy is seeing how personable you are and how effectively you interact with people. Your kind and happy attitude seems to breed kindness and happiness in others, and all this provides you with much more cooperation from crews than most of us get. So many of the crew members seem to have a really great time with you aboard, and that makes your videos even better for the rest of us.

      @Sam AA's Economy Class is not cheap compared to other airlines. I believe that because they are the largest airlines in the world, their overhead costs are higher, thus higher priced tickets.

    Nice review Sam and as a former AA Flight Attendant that still loves the airline, it’s great to see AA doing such a great job! The food when I flew for AA in 2000 was amazing! We would start with on Perignon Champaign severed with Caviar followed by an additional 4 courses and by far he best entree was the Chateaubriand cooked on the plane and carved for each individual passengers. AA Flagship Service was second to none. Happy Landings my friend!

    I fly American Airlines a lot and its true they do not like filming very much. I also have a few friends that are flight attendants on Delta and United and they do not like filming either. I really think its a USA thing. But I have had some American Airlines flight attendants that think its really cool and have gone out of there way to help me film and even point out places of interests on landings at places like London Heathrow. The flight attendants on American are usually way more cool with me filming and taking pictures on my flights to Asia I've noticed.
    4J is the best seat on the AA 77W. Love the mini business class cabin and the restroom behind it is huge!!

      They realize who Sam is and his presence in airline flight reviews and commentary. I doubt if you were to fly First Class, you would even glimpse the chef.
      It's not 'Class'; it's 'Kiss Ass'. Nothing wrong with that on AA's part as it's all about putting a good light on your product. I'm wondering how receptive the cabin crew to being filmed be on Sam's next flight. I'm looking forward to seeing it.
      We've seen another outstanding video from Sam!

    Sam, I flew American business class in a 777 to Shanghai from US not to long ago and it was slightly different. They didn’t do the single tray meal for the dinner and instead had a regular service and also no pjs. Still was a great experience. I did look for a video of yours about it when I was trying to decide if I should go business or not.

It was funny and made me smile, but above all, was very natural and showed a side of you that is rarely seen. There is a boy in all us, so I think you should show more of it...in my opinion.

    I know I'm a bit late to comment, but very nice trip report! I've flown with AA from JFK to MXP, and then from MXP to MIA, and I've had good experiences on both legs of the trip (minus the Boeing 767 aircraft they used on the MXP-MIA leg). Just like how Simply Aviation put it, honestly, whether an airline is good or bad is not dependent on what an airline offers you, but whether one's expectations are met depending on the reputation of the airline. So I don't think people should hate on American Airlines if you get what you paid for. Heck, I'd rather fly with American than any airline from mainland China, I'd say. Keep up the good work, Sam!
