Excellent review as always. I just booked a flight for August with Delta from San Diego to JFK in first class in an A321neo and it was around the same price that flights with one stop with two A321s. So I think it's worth it when the price difference is minimal

I'd love to see your take on Air India. Flew them prior to the pandemic and was amazed that they served a full meal in coach on a 1.5-hour domestic hop. It's been many years since I've flown long-haul on them so I'd like to see your take on how their experience is today.

[@redspeedobcn]

Thanks for the report Scott! Nice to see the evolution of American companies; that Delta FC looks nice and an improvement over the old one, hope good food comes back soon. Talking about pricing, we have this same trend here in Europe; I have been looking at pricing and it only seems to cool down if you buy tickets for the winter season, but still more expensive than they used to be. Hope everything cools in the following months, let's be optimistic.

You’re very welcome Roger! The price increases we’ve seen in the airline industry over the past 9 moments or so are scary! Knowing how greedy airlines can be, it’s hard to be optimistic that they’ll eventually lower fares. ☹️

Less space in front of you than the average premium economy on an international carrier. Why? The other question being, why are they allowed to call this first class when the amount of space you get is (far) less than in an international business class?

[@odeiraoloap]

I mean, consider that Emirates and/or Turkish charge at least *$4000* for a 5-hour flight in Business Class and US carriers only charge about *$1000* for a 5-hour flight in "Domestic First Class"... 😦

[@wanderingdoc5075]

@@odeiraoloap when you use credit card miles you are charged just $60 - 300 in fees for any first class. The point is why call something a name when it clearly is not? There are standards to this. That's like me pissing on your head and tell you it's raining. When something isn't even at the minimum threshold for business class you can't call it first class with a straight face.

[@marcmcreynolds2827]

Having flown AA's Flagship Business transcon a few times before finding this video, the "game changer" descriptor seemed backwards/in the wrong direction here. This Delta product is a lot closer to an economy seat than it is to Flagship, though the latter is probably more expensive still. Picking a bulkhead seat in the Flagship business class, I couldn't even reach any of my stuff stored on one of the four shelves/flat surfaces in front of me without unbuckling my seat belt -- too far away! : ) Plus there was storage above/behind me at the top corners of my pod-like near enclosure (when the seat is flat -- otherwise there isn't much material separating the adjacent passengers). Traveling with the spouse, Business is actually better than First. They are the same seats either way, but unfortunately in First the lone seat is on the aisle with a "filler" table which replaces the second seat occupying the window area. It would have been so much better for isolation + view if they had done it the other way around in First. As for the Flagship infotainment system, I've never gotten it to work very well and soon give up in favor of sleep or reading. Likewise for my wife, so a score of zero for two engineers vs some combination of finicky system and/or unreliable controls. Presumably if we were more persistent, it wouldn't stay more trouble than it's worth. Food in Flagship Business was more than we could eat. I tried to correct the flight attendant when I was given a chicken salad after having ordered beef, but it turned out that was just an appetizer. My wife, who has also flown Mint, says the AA food is better as in less fancy/more in line with our simple tastes. I'll be right back in Economy where I belong once long covid is no longer a possibility (I know, could be years). But for now, the pod-ish Flagship Business seats are about the best you can do for minimizing exposure during domestic air travel. And fun.

It's a fair point but you are comparing fundamentally different products - as a traditional domestic first class product, the above on Delta's A321NEO is truly exceptional. JetBlue Mint would be better compared to Delta One on the 767-400, 757-200, or sometimes the A350 when re-positioning. JetBlue loses hands down when comparing international first/business class products between airlines.

Yup, bulkhead seats usually have more legroom than the other seats (even in first class). The only downside is that there is no place to stow small bags - everything has to go in the overhead bin.
