CLARIFICATION: I've had a few comments regarding what I said about the flight attendants on my first flight. Overall, they were great, and I mentioned that. The comment they made was obviously not of bad intent, and given how hard they work, I'm not surprised they were happy about an empty load. I believe that professionalism should be maintained when working around passengers though. Do or say whatever you want in the galley or the crew rest, but there is no reason to say things like that in the cabin imo.

I think your comment about the flight attendents being unprofessional on the first flight was a bit rough. I took their comment as surprise at how few people there was and how they are excited about having a lighter day at work. You don't know what they came from. Their last flight might of been choc a block and they were happy for a lighter load.

@tyler-jamestoledo52846 жыл бұрын
I think his point is that, those comments could be saved for the galley and not for passengers to overhear. Regardless of what their intent of conversation, regardless of the flight load, they are at work. The fact that the flight attendant said “isn’t it beautiful,” could also mean they’re happy they don’t have to serve customers. Almost as if since the load is light they can half ass their job, which shouldn’t be the case.
@NonstopDan6 жыл бұрын
Exactly, Tyler got my point. I wasn't intending to minimize the incredible effort flight attendants make on a daily, and I can totally understand their joy at not having a full aircraft. I was mostly disappointed that they said it in front of the passengers. While US flight attendants are quite casual, I thought it was a little unprofessional. They could have easily waited and discussed it in quietly later on :)
@df35556 жыл бұрын
I agree it was a bit harsh. The intention of the flight attendants comment may have been “Isn’t it beautiful (with so few passengers, we are going to be able to get everyone’s meals and drinks to them in a more timely manner so they can enjoy their flight!). Just saying, we shouldn't always expect the worst in people.

I had a really empty Delta flight once. It was a route normally serviced by a regional carrier on a CRJ, but they had swapped it for an MD88 that one day. There was only one other person in first and he slept the whole flight. I had to work hard to convince our flight attendant that she was good to sit down in one of the empty seats and take it easy. There was no meal, but she kept trying to bring me snacks and drinks because there was nothing else to do!

I flew the 777-200ER Economy Class in a 3-4-3 Configuration in one of the Middle-Aisle Seats from LHR to MIA in the Brand new Config and it was awesome. The Flight was super full and crowded but the Crew did an amazing Job. They even offered my Dad Heineken Beer for which you normally have to pay on AA even though he never flew AA before and had no Airline or Oneworld Status. The Crew appeared from Magic within seconds after pressing the Call Button and helped out with whatever I was asking for. In the after Galley, there was a Buffet with Snacks and Drinks en masse, even more then in some Hotels. And as you said Daniel the IFE was just awesome and every Movie was available in German even though this Flight wasn't departing or landing in Germany. I wouldn't hesitate to fly Economy Class on Long Hauls with American again.

As a former flight attendant crew member of 17 years, I confess I’ve said the same thing on empty flights. In the US, our flights are almost always overbooked, running late, high stress.

Honestly I don't recline seats in coach at all anymore. The recline isn't enough on any airline to provide any extra comfort and leg room is all I want on a plane. When the person in front of me reclines it kills whatever leg room and whatever scraps of comfort I had. I just can't subject my fellow passenger to that when I get so little satisfaction.

Another clarification. UAL serves complimentary hot meals in Economy Plus on all United p.s. routes, being SFO/LAXEWR and SFOBOS. United Economy on p.s.

Biz or E+, they'll usually comp you a BOB meal either en leiu or in addition to new the hot food.

Last summer i flew American from LAX to PHL and from PHL to AMS. The domestic flight was operated by an ex-US airways A321, with no inflight entertainment and no free meals. This is weird, because the flight was around the same length as your JFK-SFO flight. Luckily we still got a free drink and Biscoff cookies. Not like in europe where even water is not free. The PHL-AMS flight was even worse. Operated by a 757 which had no personal inflight entertainment. Only some overhead screens. And that little 757 was 100% full! I also flew LHR-LAX and that flight was operated by a 777-300. That plane was so much better. Personal inflight entertainment screen, the legroom was not bad and the service was quite good. I think on American the overall experience really depends on the plane you'll be in. I'll be flying Delta from AMS to SEA and back this summer on the 767 & A330. We'll see how Delta compares to American.

A little insider information. The airbus you flew on the SFO is one of THE best in the fleet. I understand it's hard being tall and fitting into those seats, especially for a 6 hour flight when you're 6 ft tall. I'm 6'2'' myself. The Airbus 321T has the most legroom in the fleet from what I've seen and it is NEVER full on overhead bin space. I'd recommend finding the plane if you are ever flying JFK-SFO or JFK-LAX. You did the right thing on that SFO flight, feel free to get up and come to the galley, we can get you anything we have to offer, especially if you are uncomfortable.

You also booked two planes with newer entertainment systems, so it'd be totally different flying on planes with either overhead TV's or no TV's at all, both of which can also be found at American Airlines.

I fly from states to Europe 2 a year for work. Have never not seen such a light load on an ocean hopper since my Delta flight to Paris right after Sept 11. Why was there such a small load? Great chAnnel as I subscribed a few weeks ago. Looking forward to your response. And by the way have flown most American and many European carriers coach product from States to Europe. I now fly Air France economy exclusively as I believe they have the best product in that class. Their flight staff is always professional and courteous. Little extras in economy like shared bread, champagne and good French wine make their economy product nice. I almost always pay a little more for their economy plus, well worth it for the leg room. Happy flying to you.

I just returned from a trip from Portland Oregon to London, and yes the seats are super tight, and every leg of my trip on American were 100% fully booked. The worst was on 777 300, where I was in the middle on a 3 4 3 configuration, where I was sat between a couple flying together, and neither would switch with me, so they talked over me in Dutch for nearly 11 hours. The long return leg was codeshare with BA, so much better. I hate AA economy, too tight and too full, and although prompt service, not all that friendly.

I've read a good portion of comments below and most love the idea of you doing economy. I've sampled loads of your 1st class and and business travels, one can see where you're somewhat spoiled with that type of seating arrangement in whereas you lost sight of other portions of the aircraft namely economy. These other comments seemed to also reflect that enthusiasm as referenced to economy arrangements. Perhaps you did beat up on the flight attendants a bit because of their enthusiasm of the aircrafts seemly lighter passenger load. All in all good videos, look forward to others, and again YOU fly safe....
