As the 777-300ER is the most affected aircraft with removal of First Class, I am keen to see what the offering there is. Will the bed length be the generous Flagship first length or will be cut? The 773 is after all much less cramped than the 787 range.

I love American and for everything and all the memories they have brung. It’s my #1 favorite airline since I always fly with AAL. I first fell in love with AAL and the 777-200ER with them from ORD-DFW. Sadly, AAL doesn’t bring the 777s anymore to Chicago, but I will never forget that first time I flew a widebody airliner. This is outstanding. Great work American. I hope I get to fly on one of these bad boys in the future! For sure choosing flagship business. You rock, AAL and keep moving forward!

No they are not bringing it back. This is for A321XLR which is for transcontinental only. Very few of our A319 do still have IFE installed for some certain routes. We are NOT bringing it back throughout fleet.

[@reedsehon4881]

A321XLR: Hate the business class seats facing away from the windows. One of my favorite things about flying is being able to look out the window.

[@ryanshannon6963]

Bro, you'll most likely be reclined at some degree of angle, so you probably won't even really notice any difference about window viewing. The bloggers will be annoyed, *maybe* , but it's only because they'll have to sit up a bit more to record the turbine spinning. Otherwise, most passengers won't notice much of any difference.

[@rwg5387]

I had the same reaction. I do like to look out the window, especially on transcontinental flights. Unfortunately, it also reminded me of the old business class on Cathay that we called coffin class. But the comment is also right that you don’t look out the window that much. We’ll just have to see in practice.

[@jerryuma]

Don’t be rude. This is to give the body more leg room. If you facing toward the window, your head would be sticking out into aisle if they kept it the same pitch. Would you rather have that!!!?

[@myBrownpuppy]

I prefer my head not lying near the aisle. AA was smart for this. I don’t want to hear passengers or carts going through the aisle while sleeping zzzzzzzz

[@RajivGupta69]

Amazing and what a beautifully made video

[@richjames2540]

So, a question? The PDF showing the offerings on new cabin layouts on 777 300er does not show a large section with these suites. Instead the divisions of cabins stay the same Flagship Business seems to remain as it is and the First Class cabin will be Flagship Suite®️ preferred. So is AA changing the name and maintaining a high fare as they do With Flagship premium currently and presumably removing the few upgrades to food service and flight attendant to passengers ratio?

[@palmasaviation]

[@Maxpasadena]

[@fghjkas5098]

My Impressions are the cabin seems pretty solid evolutionary upgrade over the previous seats. Doors seem higher than other airlines like British or Delta. The screen size in Flagship preferred seems to stay the same size in normal business class , bed seems pretty comfortable, there isn't much you can do in economy but at least it looks a little brighter and the screen bigger. Premium economy seems to be a solid improvement. Hopefully they will retrofit this on all of their long haul fleet that they aren't planning on retiring.

[@ryanshannon6963]

This PE seat looks like a more comfortable version of the JAL shell. The JAL shell was actually not bad at all. I'm betting this is more comfortable due to it not being within the shell. If the cushioning is as comfortable as it looks, it should be more than sufficient for a 9ish hour ride. If the food is improved over the rest of the US carriers I would actually entertain flying with them internationally instead of looking exclusively at international carriers. I think maybe the only exception is Iberia and Avianca, but they're Iberia and Avianca.

[@fghjkas5098]

One of the benefits of JAL in PE is that the legroom is just way too generous with 42 inches of pitch compared to 38 in American so I would prefer to fly JAL over American in premium economy especially in their new A350-1000s (man I need to fly on those big birds)

[@texastuna]

@@ryanshannon6963 Definitely reminded me of JAL PE

[@al380aviation]

The economy cabin looks so good! I really hope they refurbish all their mainline aircraft to have similar interiors. I’m wondering in the light blue and beige seats are a nod to how their seats looked back in the 80’s and 90’s.

[@prestigeflightyoutube]

Elegant design excellent

[@Cassie4486]

Forget the interior & bring back the good food! I use to fly to Florida from NYC for college. I remember eating roast beef, chicken & other delicious meals. Cookies & a coke don't work anymore. Now I just buy a meal & bring it onboard the plane.

[@myBrownpuppy]

This is for international and transcon. But I agree! American was the #1 airline for years!!! Because of the service! People got even more eager and excited to board the plane regardless of a slight delay because they knew that they were gonna be comfortable on a flight!

[@sebastianmineo1313]

You should expect nothing on a 3 hour flight. We're lucky they're not hanging us from meat hooks now. Next, it'll be $1 to go #1 and $3 for #2. I used to fly a lot. US east coast to Asia in economy + mostly.

[@NaenaeGaming]

The 787s didn’t have first to begin with as far as I’m aware

[@GenAvAviation]

first class is being phased out across the industry anyway and specifically domestically in the US business class is marketed as domestic first class, it never was truly first class so in the A321's case they're just calling it what it is for once, especially since it will mostly feature on international routes anyway. realistically how many people do you think still fly real first class these days when business class is so close and offers something most people are satisfied with for a way lower price

[@ryanshannon6963]

@@NaenaeGaming I believe the 777's had AA's last remaining F. It's seriously outdated from what I've been reading. If they improve the food then at least the hard product will be competitive against most major Int'l airlines. The weakest area for US based carriers is the food and *kind of* the service. I think the service is more or less hampered by what's allowed in terms of dining accommodation. I was on UA Polaris and was hungry mid-flight. I asked what snacks were available and they basically said, "we have some chips and those little cookies." I don't blame the air staff by any means. I believe that they're simply trying to do the best they can with what they have on hand.

First comment section to complement a video

[@braddavis6]

@AmericanAirlines Congratulations on the hard product launch -- this looks good. Here is a suggestion, please: improve the web interface to permit mixed cabin bookings on the same reservation number. Currently if a family travels and wants to purchase 2 J seats and several Y seats, the person booking needs to make 2 separate reservations each of which gets assigned a unique reservation number. This situation becomes more complicated when the Y passengers are minors because the system flags the minors as "unaccompanied". On international flights, the "unaccompanied" status becomes particularly difficult. Thanks

[@TreyPalumbo]

This is nice

[@retroflashbackdude]

In terms of seat manufacturers, looks like PE’s using Safran using the Recaro 4710 and Safran Z600 for the A321XLR and 789P respectively, while MC/MCE will use the Collins Meridian for the A21XLR (like the Oasis fitted narrowbodies) and the same seat model used on the 788T’s MC/MCE on the 789P. Heard about the 789P’s debut being postponed due to delivery delays from Boeing. 1 thing to improve the 789P in the meantime is to increase the number of MCE seats to have a proper MCE section (MCE in just the bulkhead and exit rows doesn’t make it a proper extra legroom section). I saw the 789Ps LOPA on AeroLOPA and I have an idea that may work. If you move row 20’s seats forward 8-12” and the A-C and J-L seats in row 21 forward 4-6” (row 20 and the aforementioned row 21 seats are bulkhead seats) you may be able to add 4-6” more pitch for row 22 and seats 21D-H for a Main Cabin Extra mini cabin on the 789Ps while retaining its total seat count across all cabins (and also as a nod to MCE’s early days on the 767 and the 773s). It could also generate more seat revenue and make the 789P more premium without having to lower the seat count as you already charge a fee for MCE. I’m thinking minimum 35-36” pitch for seats 22A-C and J-L and possibly 37” for D-H seats in rows 21 and 22. Just make sure the bulkhead and exit rows still have at least 6” more pitch than the standard main cabin seats for this to work.
