[@blueyedmermaid1447]

I'm American and I would NEVER fly AA. I've flown Delta a few times. Who partnered with Alitalia. I've been in their first class and "majestic class" both were very nice. Food was around a 7/8 and customer service was a 10. "Majestic class" seat was average size. But very comfortable I would definitely send AA a complaint via customer service. There should be a card that they give you to contact them. PS. Majestic class food was amazing. In general delta has pretty decent food . Majestic class was done by a Michelin star chef and had multiple courses. Everything tasted amazing. I'm not sure how Alitalia is now. But I can say I have never had a bad experience on Delta or Alitalia.

This is the quintessential American Airlines experience. There’s a reason they are ranked 9th in North America. Sadly, most of the other large carriers in America are as bad or worse.

[@kappy-nf6uh]

Not too impressed with business class on American airlines. Hope I never have to use them but there aren't too many choices across the Pacific between Oz and the US. Will continue to fly in the opposite direction.

[@michaeldenny9320]

Travel tip- Whenever I fly One World into the USA I always fly the international carrier (Qatar, JAL, etc) to as close as possible to my final destination. This minimizes the time spent on AA inside the USA .

[@belligirl21]

That’s a lame amenity kit 😢

[@Exofrick]

Oh man this video is so hilariously accurate to america. First the used amenities then the duct tape sink and the clam chowder that was just tomato soup and the flaccid cheesecake. You can feel the disappointment through the screen. This video is amazing.

[@okwhatevev]

New York style clam chowder is a thinner, tomato based soup. The creamy one (which is much better) is New England clam chowder.

I flew American In business class many years ago from China to Chicago. After arriving in Chicago, I went to the Admirals lounge and the only thing they had to eat were pretzels and other loose snacks in giant plastic bowls. I have NOT flown American since.

[@louiseann_venusandneptune]

It’s been a while - I’ve been busy | I travelled with Solo all of the dark cold winter last - for some reason I was thinking today (17 August 🇬🇧) I miss my travel buddy. And without even searching I was in SF getting ready to fly AA. But - I’d forgotten to prep …. NOOO I have to get something to eat. I can’t get through a Solo video without joining in the eatery. PAUSED VIDEO … rustled up a video inspired snack - scrambled eggs and mashed avocado 🥑on olive rolls with mayo and onions from my allotment. You see Solo taught me last winter how to better appreciate my food. To pay attention to what was on my plate. I wasn’t even going to eat this evening - too hot 🥵 ☀️ couldn’t be bothered 😮‍💨 - Thank you Solo for reminding me to eat with friends Until next 🕰️ 🙌🏼🙏🏻😊

[@Bannimann2]

It looks like that "First Class" doesn't mean the same nowadays as it did 30 years ago. lol

[@sayakai7561]

Domestic US route? Assume it's relabeled business class. First on international flights or on foreign carriers can be fantastic.

[@massmike11]

30 years ago you didn’t get that kind of seat, it was just a notmal seat but bigger 33:25

[@Does_This_Look_Infected]

Funny... I am right now sitting in First Class on AA from JFK to LAX. I got upgraded from Business. The seats are showing a lot of wear and tear... the power outlet won't hold my Mac charger, so I'm propping it up with a water bottle, and water drops are coming from the air conditioning system above my seat which is not a good mix with a computer. The food was decent but that's by AA standards. I know they are waiting for those new Airbus with new Flagship seating. I hope they speed that along as first class right now isn't worth the premium. I am EP and Million Miler with them so know this airline all too well.

So, with that in mind, I will never, ever fly with AA if I want to cross the big pond. Even though it's 25°C outside, your video gave me the chills and put me in the Christmas mood.

I know what it is to have a long distance relationship. Been there ... done that. The heart doesn't see the distance and the love can be stronger than anything else. I've done it for 8 years being away from my lover. Seeing each other once or twice a year. It was so tough ! I was suppose to move to the States (I'm Canadian) but he decided to move here. We've been together for 23 years and we're going to celebrate our 13th year wedding anniversary in October. Sometimes it's worth to wait even though it's very hard to not be with your loved one. I'm NOT surprised about your flight with American Airlines. The food didn't look very appetizing. It looked better than the Greyhound buses I took many many times to go visit my boyfriend (now husband). In the last years of my traveling, I decided to take the plane. It was almost a 24 hour drive with the bus or be there on the same day with the plane. The choice was easy. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you with sharing them with us. Wishing you nothing but the best in the near future ❤❤❤

Congrats on your 13 years of marriage.I did the long distance relationship thing, too. It *is* rough. My husband is from the UK and I live in the States. I remember looking so forward to seeing him and then despair when our time together was winding down. We've been married for 25 years, so it was worth it in the long run.

The last time I flew American Airlines first class it was to Jamaica. The outbound flight was fine, but the return flight we had no food because the domestic food service did not deliver anything to the plane before they left the US. So the people on that flight also had no food. The flight attendants were so annoyed that they gave everyone a hand written card with the name and email for the VP of catering. Glad your experience was better!

First class on SW means a 2/1 split for seating, a box lunch and pay for your drinks, with seats and leg room a whopping 2% more than coach.

In the beginning I had a wild idea on who she was, but I was like nope that is just my sense of humor and not a joke others would make. 19:19 reminded me why I watch your videos and love the commentary on them. One thing about America that I am sure is the same in other large countries, if you see the name of a city or region before the name of the dish (example: New York Cheesecake, New England clam chowder) that means that dish was made more to how it is prepared in that region. Hence the difference between the chowders you experienced on your trip. But I think even smaller (in square miles/kilometers) have similar things, like how ramen or quoza are prepared in different areas of Japan.
