Nice flight report, the cabin crew are friendly. I hope the dude who got off the plane due to the weight issue gets upgraded to first class in the next flight.

[@lasssss]

Or if even if not at hopefully they would at least give him access to their Admiral Lounge while waiting. :)

[@moderate9984]

Great trip report, fantastic service by the crew. Thanks Jayden.

Can we talk about the beautifulness of the blonde cabin crew 😍🥰😂

Good on the poor dude for taking it in his stride, I hope he got upgraded to first on the very next flight. Great report Jayden, can't wait for next thursday!!!!

simply because he was!!

[@Agent44996]

I feel like overweight planes have become quite a stereotype of the US recently. Good on the guy for taking one for the team, I hope he was rewarded appropriately. Great review mate!

[@JaydenWong]

I sure hope he was, the crew actually offered him a bottle of sparkling as he disembarked but he didn't want it haha

[@rondarkman.]

If rhet put him in a lounge for a few hours till next flight I'd be all over it.i could easily handle a few whiskeys and some plane spotting possibly a shower as compensation

[@nicholer7415]

That male flight attendant is the BEST AA attendant!!! He is always so kind and gives amazing service!! Nobody can match his energy & love for the job!!!❤️💙🤍

[@JaydenWong]

no doubt!! It was easily one of my best flights ever!!😝😝

thanks I'm glad :)

[@brigittelehmann9749]

great flight i enjoyed it

[@kbroadhead10]

Best TR in a long time Mr Wong, and not only for making me miss Boston, my last pre-Covid overseas destination. So much so familiar there! Apart from that weight related departure delay, it looked like a perfectly OK flight, although I've had more food on JetBlue (but paid a similar fare for a smaller seat). The ORD lounge looked great, and the service seemed amazing.

[@Amirul4488]

How amazing it is!

[@heathertruskinger6214]

Hi Jayden. Firstly, kudos to the passenger who decided to leave the flight so the plane was back to an acceptable weight to fly. It makes one realise just how exacting the ratios are for planes to actually take off and achieve flight ! For a business class flight, the lack of a "real meal" totally sux ! But I guess you filled up on all those mugs of tea 😂 Great to see cabin staff, who a both friendly and proactive !

[@sjw2410]

Great video mate, bought back so many great memories from Boston. I think AA gets a bad rap for no reason. They're pretty good and I don't mind not having an IFE screen on a domestic flight.

[@ChasetheG]

1:05 Exactly what I want to get at a airport, Weed!!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@JaydenWong]

🤣

[@KingSharkyPlayz]

hey jayden i really liked this video

[@aviationfascination]

Fantastic trip Report!! I’ll be flying AA for the first time in 13 years in a couple months also in first class.

[@pommydiva1]

i love the quirky funny things you say in your video clips. like at the start *you both smashed the food, not leaving anything behind* 🤣😂 on the brekky menu i noticed one that said: Steak tips and eggs. I thought it was a misprint and should have read steak chips and eggs,. Any idea what steak tips are ? the service from the flight attendant was fantastic, all those drinks.. nice. and i must say the guy that you and your cuz had.. was CUTE as, and i agree... had a great smile :) thanks for showing us what Boston looks like :)

[@coolpenguin1]

I love your vids bro so good

[@theknightaviation]

Great trip report. Let's all appreciate that guy who voluntarily left the flight so that it could take off. I checked your aircraft reg, it was N960NN

[@JaydenWong]

thanks mate appreciate that!

[@nicholasmosley9311]

Hey Jaden I love your videos I’m from Adelaide to, hope to see you around

[@brilliantbutblue]

Awesome that your loyal Patreon helped make this flight possible for you and your Cousin!!! You had me at "Champagne Bar" in the lounge that's my kind of place. Honestly your experience on this flight despite no hot meal was top notch, the Cabin Crew impressive. "Looking for weed" 🤣 always a laugh to be had with your Cousin. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@JaydenWong]

Yep we are so grateful, also met so many subscribers on this trip which was fun. I actually looked up the bin on Google, it's a Chicago O'hare airport thing, giving people last chance to toss it away before they fly with the weed because it's illegal haha

[@oluwawamirionakoya3287]

I flew on that plane 2 times in a row. Nice video man😄✈️

[@mahmoodsoleja9068]

Very nice ! 👍

[@alexmcwhirter6611]

Another interesting video Jayden. When you mentioned "overweight" I was thinking how Air NZ will cope with its Skynest product (it awaits regulatory approval) when a passenger is rather heavy.

[@DavidLee-tn3mo]

Wow! How good for a domestic lounge. More than the usual boiled egg and baked beans with bacon and sausages 🥹 Did u get me a date with the cabin grew…he had those come to bed eyes 😍?

[@gb_victor7951]

Loving the pink nails on the flighty 😁

[@brispaul1]

Mmmm. Think the handsome flight attendant may have liked your smile Jayden. 😃 What a lovely attendant. Boston looks very pretty. That lounge buffet was absolutely awesome 👌 Great review!! 👍

[@robertrichardson1843]

Great vid and the crew do make the flight. Question I notice you always show and get excited about the coat hook but never use it or have a coat. Lol

[@maureen8966]

Hi Jayden thank you for another great video. A good cup of tea and a biscuit dunked in the tea yummy

[@user-ci8jb7pq7s]

I hope cousin is in more videos she’s the reason I subscribed 🤷🏿‍♂️IJS, great vid very informative

06:23 I love how the flight attendant has pink nails. Very cool and impressive that AA allows staff to express themselves in such ways. 💅

[@syc9675]

Another good video. Good that they have USB ports however there’s no in flight entertainment system onboard (I 💭)

[@charlesjay8818]

very few airlines on their narrow bodied planes like this 737 install IFE's. Costs and weighs too much, plus most have a device to keep them occupied for short flights

[@dianeschroeder3980]

I know Covid derailed your plans to go to LA but you better let me know when you’re planning to come here Jayden! Safe travels!❤️👍✈️

I'm flying AA in First next week from ORD-PSP. The flight offers a breakfast in First which I have already pe-ordered. Has AA brought back American Way magazine? I'm old school so I've missed seeing it during the last couple years of Covid when they pulled it.

hello mate!

[@asteverino8569]

First of all, I love seeing you in my country! Your cousin looking for weed.😂😂😂 We've now finally shared an airport 😀 Twice I switched planes at O'hare in Chicago. Going from San Francisco to Washington DC. "Gorgeous crew" you said. I said that too. 😂 By the way, those crackers in the clam chowder are called oyster crackers. 💁🏼‍♂️ Glad you had a good experience Jayden. (and I hope your cousin did too)

[@JaydenWong]

Aha! Did you use the amnesty bin😂 oh oysters crackers, fair enough it does look like oysters a bit haha!! thanks Stevo 🥰🥰

my pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@ardentblue7493]

i think maybe for local American pax, they are very much ok to see more male cabin crew wearing a nail paint/polish, but it will take some times for international pax outside of the US to get use with this new environment...

[@JaydenWong]

Most definitely. Virgin Atlantic recently started to allow crew to show tattoos 👍🏼 It’s all about getting used to

The passenger who you say got kicked off you are wrong they offered him accommodation or a business class seat on next flight you should know that I am ex airline employee so I will be watching you lol 😆

[@louiseleonard1992]

Did you enjoy it

[@dereknewbury163]

Fun as always, Mr. Wong. Seeing the amount of food you consumed in the lounge, I think you were seriously lucky not to be the over-weight passenger off-loaded. Luck of the Irish, I guess. Are we going to be shipping "JayCrew?

[@darrenclark8902]

I can’t see how removing 1 person could do much for the weight issue

[@andreasm4263]

Great vid🙌🏽. Why do US-carriers promote it as First Class on domestic routes, when it’s not more then a Business Class seat as most?, in EU and Asia standard

[@alexmcwhirter6611]

It's been that way for many years. In truth F class on US domestic flights is used for upgrades/redeeming FFP miles etc. I doubt if many travellets pay 'real money' for domestic F class.

[@brianking768]

History and naming conventions are your answer. Prior to the 1970s, there were just two classes of service - First and Coach. The First Class seat then used was closer to the current US domestic First seat. With domestic travel in the US, the names just haven’t changed with the premium cabin labeled First. Wide body international travel evolved with much better seats in First. As the international seats got better and better, they slotted in Business and Premium Economy each time selecting a seat that was close to the old standard US Domestic First seat. With American Airlines currently, the First seat seen on this video is the same seat used for Premium Economy on its wide body fleet. An oddity is that when a domestic plane is used internationally, they don’t call the product First, they call it Business. Really it comes down to what the customers expect. In the US customers expect this kind of seat for domestic travel when the product is labeled First as that’s what has been offered historically. To an American, the real shock is to see what is labeled Business class on intra-European flights - 29” pitch and a blocked middle.

[@alexmcwhirter6611]

@@brianking768 Thank you for the detailed reply. Yes business class within Europe has been critised ever since it was introduced 40 years ago. TK is one exception today. Both Swissair (not Swiss) and KLM once tried to provide proper wide seating years ago but it failed and they brought back what we have today. One problem with a fixed cabin and wider seating is that airlines cannot cope with the differing load factors. But in any case far fewer corporate customers book business class today as that 'Saturday night' rule no longer applies for the cheaper fares.

[@JaydenWong]

Yes thanks Brian King. Trains in Hong Kong are the same. Standard cabin and first class only, when first class is really just like Jetstar economy class!

[@gsilverstone]

Cabin crew seems to be equally excited to have you on board... 😋

[@terryterry1655]

offloaded pax may be compensated with a whopping usd10k

[@blackrose-dv1ug]

*reads title* My mind: why do I feel personally attacked… LOL. Curious though how/why they picked that particular passenger. Oh well. Thanks for the review!

[@charlesjay8818]

they probably asked someone to volunteer using some sort of cash or upgrade incentive, i guess he agreed

[@JaydenWong]

yeah at check in you could bid to get bump off!

[@alexwoolford_surf]

Its wierd how its called "first class" although its really domestc business, which is eh... but at least its cheaper then domestic business class in Australia haha

[@alexmcwhirter6611]

It's been that way for many years. US domestic F class is mainly used for FFP redemptions/upgrades. I doubt if many travellers pay 'real money.'

[@TaylorTravelsTheWorld]

I mean when you compare it to euro business I think calling this domestic first is appropriate

[@alexwoolford_surf]

@@TaylorTravelsTheWorld I guess but compare that to middle eastern, asian and Australian business class...

Boeing 737-823 n816nn right? because I was typing "n816nn" at youtube search and I find this one.

[@jeshenlau9389]

Was the offloaded passenger offered compensation, and if so, what is the industry standard?

[@JaydenWong]

Possibly AA travel credit- he may have bid at check in. And maybe upgrade on the next available flight?

[@nadifputra787]

Did United and Delta are more expensive than the AA?

[@JaydenWong]

sometimes yes sometimes no!

[@pure7133]

Maybe this is the crew’s first flight after covid and now seems recovery

[@flydude1063]

Have to wonder what repercussions the flight attendant will be in for when management finds out he told passengers that Qantas was better. Ouch!

[@naydu5290]

I don’t get it. If a 737 with this configuration is too heavy, how does Ryanair manage to fly with almost 30 more passengers on board?

[@charlesjay8818]

alot of people with Ryanair don't check in a bag as they have to pay extra, with AA being a national airline, you get free checked in bag, so i'm guessing most people will checkin a bag as there is no penalty Plus your average American is probably a little heavier lol

[@JaydenWong]

Yes Agree with Charles, and they probably also had some cargo loaded on this plane. Things like milk, wine etc can add a lot of weight

[@brandoncolis3841]

Hopefully the passengers clapped for the selfless decision the man made after he left than the fact that a man with a weight issue just exited.

[@nancycowell-miller4321]

Curious to know how they determine who to "bump?" Or do they just ask for volunteers? (and I am assuming they got him onto the next flight - and compensated him)

[@ojaaviation]

Why did he get removed from the flight

[@nu-chanyawat8429]

👍🏻😍

[@Blank00]

I find it funny that United gets ragged on for using plastic cups for first class PFBs, and yet when AA does the same thing, they don't get as much criticism

[@JaydenWong]

hahah depends who does the review or feedback. For me, I knew it was a regulation over in the US so I don't blame the airlines for it

[@m.a.b9397]

American Airlines is a great airline in my opinion, I always have positive experiences with them. But they are criticized often, sadly.

[@JaydenWong]

I agree, I guess it’s just a bigger airline so you hear more bad stuff :/

[@m.a.b9397]

Yeah, but I think that most of the people actually think that it is a good airline, but the persons that have problems with the airline are very intense

[@Michael-db4sn]

@@m.a.b9397 complaints are louder than praises. It's the type of society we live in and how people are brought up in the world.

[@RONNIERABBIT1]

So where is Yogi Bear? I heard it flooded in Yellowstone National Park & they closed it?. This is another great video, but they are getting too hard to follow. Did you & your Cousin purchase an around the world airfare or something? I know that you do this for a living Jayden, yet your adorable Cousin has been with you on a very long journey to several Countries? It's really become far too difficult to follow where you started out from, & just how far your going!. I'd like to see a video where you both sit down & talk about the places you have visited just recently. I did consider the USA but at 68 cents in the dollar plus tipping, I think Asia offers better value right now. I'm still hoping that Japan re-opens soon.
