Interesting review. I understood that AA, when taking a 737 order (at least for NGs) they stripped the interior from the factory and put in their own. Not sure if they still do that. For that reason, the seat pitch in economy class was one of the worst if not THE worst in the segment. The sky interior is VERY nice and the redone overhead bins compared to the older NGs were designed to provide more cabin room and the latches have the ability to be lifted from below or pulled from above (kind of like a rocker lever).

New to your channel. Only 1:30 in and you are so right. Coming back from Fairbanks AK to NYCI chose first class on delta. My reasoning is I wanted to lay down and sleep since It was a long journey and I was missing a night in my hotel to be at the airport. The experience was ok, food was delicious, I didn't get my Tumi travel case and for the upgrade price, I expected an overwhelming experience. I gave feedback to Delta and they reimbursed me the miles I used to upgrade.

I flew on an American Airlines 737 max from Las Vegas to Washington DC about a month ago. While I purchased a first class ticket I think that on most American carriers they are transitioning away from the designation “first“ and using “business” instead. The food, as with your experience, was unremarkable. There is a huge distinction between the food service on a domestic flight versus international. The flight was comfortable and quick with no issues and the cabin crew upfront was attentive and helpful.

I was on an A321 with the Oasis cabin (and I think an A320? I’m not too sure) and it wasn’t terrible. The seat wasn’t terribly cushioned, and after a few 4 hours flights my body was really feeling it, and compared to an A320 on one of my connections, which I believe came from US Airways and had not been updated yet, was a lot less comfortable. The seat was large enough, but the oasis cabin really does lack comfort in the seat itself.

The main reason for why it have been not that good in economy class is because as you say " efficiency". Yes, as adding more seat, the airline can make plane more profitable. The 787 was make for 2-4-2 on long haul economy to make it very comfy. Even there are there are even a350 with sardine boxes having 17 width and very little legron.

July 2001: i had a flight going from JFK to El Salvador (SAL) with a plane change in Miami. Technically this was a domestic flight for all intents and purposes, but because my trip was a one way to an international destination, American Airlines MADE ME buy a full roundtrip tkt JFK-SAL-JFK because they wouldnt allow me to buy a one way as an american citizen. I had a little bit over $1000 on me in cash, and my ticket (the ones they MADE ME buy ended up costing $923. Needless to say, I was OUTRAGED. But of course, 20 yr old me w no experience in traveling and nobody to help me, ended up depleting a year's worth of savings in a ticket I wasnt going to use cause I was traveling BACK HOME (I had been in NY for 2 yrs working and saving money to go back to college). This incident happened a little bit over 7 weeks before 9/11, so I was still able to file a claim and make them reimburse me. It took 4 months, but they did and in December of 2001 I finally got my money back after fighting with them every single week up to October of that year. I VOWED, to NEVER IN MY LIFE set foot on an AA airplane again and till this day, I've kept my promise. I am NEVER paying a dime for an AA flight and even if for business, I rather DRIVE if possible or take a damn train, but I will NEVER give my hard earned money to those VULTURES. I hate AA and by God I wish nobody would need to fly w them every again 🙄

Just flew business/1st class this week twice with 737-MAX. I enjoyed as both were relatively short (2.5-3h). Food was bad, but seat had good size for me (enough to stretch my legs - and Im 6 ft 2in) That was worthy the price for me. Flight entertainement is via their wifi on the phone but I always have my own.

Airline bathrooms need an upgrade. They should be bigger and provide more head space. However, have a sneaky feeling the size is kept purposefully cramped to discourage any lingering, and certainly discourage mile high adventures. 😉

United Airlines 737-800 SFO - OGG, "First" / "Business" class...seats are torture devices...in economy people are packed in like sardines in a can...the price for flying to Maui I suppose. I usually choose Hawaiian Airlines but this was a return trip from Italy that we had booked on United. Thankfully the 11.5 hour B777-300 Polaris seating on UA 195 from MUC to SFO was excellent. Mahalo for the great videos!

The B737 Max cabin does look good. My problem with it, as a frequent economy traveller, and with my 187 cm (6ft 2) rugby build, is that the economy seats are simply too narrow. On a full flight, it's a constant battle with my neighbour for elbow room, and sitting at the window my other elbow is wedged against the sidewall. Welcome to a few hours of misery! So I actively avoid all B737s and will always choose an A320 flight for the extra comfort of its wider seats. A full A320 is no hardship at all.

@@andrewlarson7895 Nothing to do with the airlines. The B737 is narrower than the A320. The widest seat the B737 can take is 17 inches, while the A320 fits 18 inch wide seats together with a wider aisle. The airlines decide on the pitch (amount of legroom) but cannot fit wider seats on a B737 as there simply is no space

@@patrickb827 actually, there are some airlines that have 18 of width on the 737 including the max like Air Canada. You can investigate about that. Also 18 from 17 in my opinion is not a big change, even more if you are big person ( 1: is not that I am fat, 2: even there are some business classes that are narrow). So yes, is no imposible if the airline try is best for each customers( which oc curse, is rare to see that). Also, I wonder is 737 which 2-3 would look like 🤔? Expecially the 737 max 7?

And the seat wasn’t to comfortable either. My back was not good when I got off. Ate lots of Biscoff & Pretzels ofc! 🙃

New Sub here. American Airlines as a platinum card holder I would say I am at the point to drop the CC. I booked a flight for wife and I and our returned trip my wife and I was separated on one leg on our return trip. Wife is afraid of flying I was not going to have sit 3 isles away and I know picked my seats previous because i took a screen shot of the flights and seats. The flight for what I picked was booked for economy so to sit together I had to use 8k in points to upgrade to more leg room. This was one leg of our trip. I sent in a complaint and I just realized I never got those points back even with proof of seats being picked. I stayed with AA because my local airport they was the main carrier. But now I live with in one of the busiest Airport now I am going to start shopping around. I live near ATL what would be your recommendation for a good airline but not Delta please. Hehe
