A TORTUROUS FLIGHT on American Airlines - New York to London. A DISGRACE to The USA! SHAME on YOU!!

A TORTUROUS FLIGHT on American Airlines - New York JFK to London Heathrow. A DISGRACE to The USA! SHAME on YOU!!
The worst airline I have ever flown with. I've travelled around the world with many different carriers and American Airlines is by far The Worst Airline I have EVER reviewed.

Any airline can have a bad day with service. However, if you are 6'4”, it cant be a surprise to you that an economy class seat is gonna be tight for you. Most airlines have the option for wxtra legroom and/or Premium Economy yet you choose to book the cheapest and then whine about what you surely already knew would happen. Dont give up you ur say job...

[@LG-hp5wh]

Good video, I enjoyed watching… But, you get what you pay for. From a value standpoint it would appear you did pretty good for under $600US. You flew Trans Atlantic, watched a movie, had a meal and arrived safely and didn’t look to worse for wear. While I agree AA sucks, you do have to consider value and on that standard I think you came out on top!

[@windanthonystream]

Personally I think American Airlines and British airlines are equal when it comes to bad service. That partnership goes well together.

[@shankszm]

@@windanthonystream Yes I think so too. AA and BA are both as bad as each other. Tbh BA is among the worst (I am British btw).

[@goytabr]

I'm from Brazil and haven't been in the U.S. or flown on American in many years, but you should see the reputation they have here and the even worse service they provide on their South American routes. And mind you, they have improved, as they now fly those routes with newer 787s and 777s. When I flew them, it was on vintage 767s and 757s that were old even for that time. Hard benches with worn upholstery that wouldn't recline more than some two inches, overhead CRT monitors, inedible greasy food, and the worst part: the cabin crew. They seemed to have been trained at the same kennel where the Gestapo trained their man-eating Rottweilers - at least, they barked the same to the passengers! Never, never a smile, meal trays literally THROWN at your table, they seemed to always be reminding you that you were an annoyance that they were not paid enough to tolerate. Later I flew United to the U.S. and it was MUCH better, light-years ahead of AA. To their credit, I've had better experiences with their services within the U.S., and they were very well organised on the ground, but remember that this was many years ago. They at least used to be very reliable back then, without the many horror stories of too frequent cancellations and delays that now plague AA's reviews (and even more importantly, HOW they deal with those disruptions). Recently a very well known Brazilian journalist and podcaster was stuck for THREE DAYS at JFK because his AA flight back home was overbooked, and they only placed him on a subsequent flight three days later, with the whole ordeal being shown live on his social networks with millions of followers. AA didn't even give him a hotel, he had to sleep on the airport benches. And instead of offering some compensation or at least an apology, AA later sent him a "cease and desist" letter threatening legal action for slander if he didn't remove the posts, but he showed the letter on his social networks as well, making their PR disaster even worse. The posts weren't removed, and as far as I know, they didn't sue him.

[@BubblesUp61]

As a 6’4” man you should travel premium economy.

[@bdcochran01]

Whether i go to an airline, a doctor, a lawyer, the dentist or tomorrow, an Enrolled Agent, I take a pad, pen, book to read. I go to the bathroom before I leave home, when I arrive at the airport, before boarding the plane last. I wait until everyone leaves the plane before getting up - dumb clucks don't understand that their bags arrive on the carousel at the same time as the first class bags. Go to the bathroom before going through customs. If you want first class service, pay for first class seating. If you want better food or seats at the airport, pay for the airline club membership.

Why is a guy who spent US$150k on a Porsche golf cart that makes him miserable not flying business class and instead flying miserable coach being miserable? He must love misery.

[@thefiestaguy8831]

I've heard from many people that fly a lot that AA business class is overpriced and not worth it. Also the cost of business class on a lot of US carriers is more expensive than on any british carrier - even for the same route, often i've found that to be the case. I could fly Business class for instance with BA from Heathrow to Los Angeles for around £2,400... but when I looked at Delta or AA it was more like £3,500-£6,000.

A very authentic reflection of airline travel in the 21st century! And as for personal space, there's no other place outside of a plane where we'd sit that intimately close with a complete stranger for so long! And I think they'll just keep squeezing more people in until we're basically just cattle. I see you got the cattle feed anyway so we're half way there already.

[@reedberry]

Remember when travel was fun? It hasn't been in years and, yeah, American should probably be called Ameri-CAN'T. I took a flight several years ago from LAX to Minnesota. I was near the front of the line in the boarding process, yet when I reached the entrance to the jetway, a very unpleasant female gate agent snapped, "You'll have to check your carry-on. The overhead bins are full." I didn't see how that was possible, but she refused to let me enter with my bag so I went ahead and checked it. Upon boarding the aircraft, I couldn't help but notice that there was ample space remaining in the overhead bins -- they were nowhere near full. As the same woman passed through the plane to check on things, I got her attention and pointed to the overhead bins to let her know there was indeed space above. She just looked away as if to say, "Oh well." Long story short, when I claimed my bag upon arrival, they had broken one wheel off my roller bag, which I had to pay to repair since airlines won't repair handles or wheels. Happy travels!

[@johnwalker861]

Perhaps you should have taken her ID number and filed a complaint to her superiors and then demanded at the very least an apology from her. If she has been rude to other passengers in the past then there will be a record of her behavior in her personal file it might have been worth a try.

[@robertweisberg5570]

I have flown more than msot posting here. On the longest ultra long haul flights as well. I fly business or first. If you are buying a standard coach ticket and expect first class it is not going to be the case. Any and every airline is the worst when something goes wrong. One bad interaction and its bad. Its been proven that customers buy on price. So if American is alot cheaper than lets say British Airways, you will still like most custoemrs go for the cheapest. Furthermore especially in coach , paying more for that ticket doesnt mean its better in any way. I have experienced both good and bad crews on all airlines except the best is Qantas, Singapore AIr, Emirates, Cathay Pacific. If flying coach the goal is to get you were you want to be. It wont be any special experience. Flat beds on the business and first products. Virgin still has some planes with old crappy business class seats 30 yrs designed. That can be on 787 and A330s. The A350s have a new seat in business. If you dont like coach pay for Premium economy. Just realize that the ticket can be alot more.

[@annegormely6003]

I flew JFK to Heathrow in Sept of ‘22. The seat was so narrow I had black and blue bruises on my hips from squishing into the seat. It was horrible. Then the Queen passed and all my tours were cancelled. It was impossible to get around the city because of the Que. Even the black cabs couldn’t get me near things because of roads blocked off. On the way back I upgraded my seat just to survive. I’m afraid to go back to London in case Charles dies.

[@robertweisberg5570]

I have flown AA business and first to London recently. I have not flown this route coach in more than 30 yrs. I can tell you to expect similar from Virgin and British Airways as far as seat space. Feel free to look that up and you will see. The old space you got in the 1990s is now Premium economy roughtly. Maybe Premium Economy is slightly larger than the old coach.

[@lindseyrea9237]

Not quite as bad as Air Canada. We flew Montreal to Heathrow overnight last September. Airport Ok airside but very uncomfortable landside. Boarding system chaotic, seats cramped as usual. 2 hours delay for takeoff. Evening meal OK, breakfast appalling - small tub of yoghurt and a croissant shaped bread roll that had never even heard the word "butter" - and that was it. The staff were most noticeable by their absence. We did fly back to Vancouver with Air Canada which was a little better but that was a day flight and at least was on time. We had stocked up on snacks for the journey and we know both the airports so had no problems there. American Airlines seems to be just like the rest of their systems.

The most shocking thing about this video was the amount of ignorant people with their bags on the seats when you boarded that train.

Nearly every one of those seats shown had a bag sitting in the spare seat. Selfish people are everywhere these days.

[@LoganLavery]

@@stevetosh not only that, most sit on the aisle seat and put their bag on the window seat, completely blocking access and making someone actually have to explain to them how rude and ignorant they are, if they want a seat. I only have to ride the sky train from the staff parking lot to the terminal, two stops, otherwise I would surely tell them what I thought. I still might one of these days!

I last flew American in 2001, (777 Glasgow - Tampa and return leg) they were alright then. Economy is always going to be economy so I don't know why you were surprised about the shitty meal or the shitty seat to be honest! Speaking frankly I would sit on the floor if it meant I was getting somewhere decent, but I know most aren't of the same thinking!

[@steventravels4035]

I think I see a problem with how you booked your ticket. Since you booked your ticket with BA, it is policy of BA to charge for seat assignments no matter where they are at on the plane. AA on the other hand doesn’t charge for a regular seat assignment unless you book a MCE seat or even a preferred seat.

[@Roblofty]

It seemed you had made your mind up before you had got to the airport. Seating looked no worse than any other airline in economy.

I flew AA to New York and the main meal was a dried up hotdog. Service was appalling. The flight attendants were rude. Anyone daring to question anything was met with, "Are you going to co-operate with me?" My partner fell asleep and his head was sticking out a little bit into the aisle. He was woken up by, "Sir, take your head out of the aisle." I would never fly AA by choice.

[@ivantheterrible860]

if your partners head was sticking out into the aisle, what part do you NOT understand that your partner MUST be told to put his head back into the seat range? or your partners head would just obstruct everyobody else? some people are really sheep.

[@LoganLavery]

@@kernow9324 It’s absolutely awful and has been particularly bad since 9/11. I remember flying LAX to SJU to join a ship and not even anything available for purchase to eat. When I enquired with the steward he just made a face and shook his head. It was a 7 hour + flight and I was ‘wedged’ into the seating.

[@motr1912]

Regarding trains, last time I flew in to Heathrow was April 1st 2020:on the last BA flight from Sydney (not allowed to get off in Singapore whilst cleaning/restocking plane and was on it for 24 hours, horrible but I digress) and because the holiday was cut short for obvious reasons, meant we had to try and book a train at short notice from Euston to Birmingham and Avanti wanted over £300 each for two of us. My father in law in the end drove down to collect us on the very empty and quiet roads. Doing a trip to Toronto and New York in September flying back from Newark (staying in NJ near the Holland Tunnel) and driving down and parking at Hounslow to avoid mucking about with trains again. Great video as per usual.

[@jhalin4579]

The pay for seat assignment scam is all too prolific. But I think BA may be the worst offender of all. Buy a business class seat, but pay £150+ for a seat assignment! That’s right. Scam even more money out of your highest paying customers. A business school case study in making an effort to keep customers away.

[@1lascruces]

Lee Great Vlog!! Seriously though, You get what you pay for. I fly this same flight 3 times a year- and would never dream of booking a window seat all the way back in row 37. I would have grabbed an aisle at the first opportunity- Ah! but that would have deprived us of the video of the take-off and the picturesque shots of London on the right side of the plane as you land. (The sacrifices you go through just to bring us such fun footage)! The window seat back in row 37 is just as tight on BA, Delta and United. - Jet Blue is better. Next time spend a little money- or try to use some of those miles to at least get a premium seat -up in row 20, or 21 or 22. You will be glad you did- but of course it would not be as half as entertaining as watching you be squashed like a mashed potato. Also No-one really eats breakfasts anymore-even if you are lucky enough to be flying premium economy- its cold unripe inedible fruit -along with the perfunctory Yogurt-and cardboard bread- and again that is what you will get on competing carriers. Still it would get boring if you loved everything about your travel experiences I suppose. Its so much more entertaining for things not to be quite right!

Great food? on Virgin. I fly Virgin Upper Class and I find the food not great. Its ok and similar to BA. Better than American Business/First but not great. Genrous seating on Virgin coach? Do facts matter? The seat space on Virgin is 17-17.9 width depending on the aircraft and 31 inches pitch. American is roughly 16.2-17.1 and 31-32 inches of pitch. Is there any huge difference. Maybe a fraction of an inch or nothing, gyet you say generous seating? You have flown once to the states? I have flown Miami to London at least 60 times. I know this route well. Some of the Virgon planes still have the old entertainment system and screens. You probabkly dont know that. The new A350s are better especially up front. Coach is a similar experience on all these carriers. The only exception would be JETBLUE. The space there is the biggest.

Thanks for another enjoyable vlog, Lee. Airlines have been squeezing more seats into long-haul economy class (Y). Boeing designed its 777s to have 9-across seating but *most* airlines today have increased this to 10-across. Similar with the 787 (Dreamliner) Boeing intended airlines to install 8-across but almost all 787 airlines went for 9-across (including Qantas). As for comparing the A380 withe the 787 ... the former is universally praised by travellers whereas the 787 gets mixed reviews.

When I first flew to the US with AA back in 2004, they were very good. However my last trip with them was an absolute nightmare. The plane was one of the oldest in their fleet, an old Boeing 767 that had no in flight entertainment system, not a good start. As we taxied to the runway, the Captain announced that there was a technical fault and we then had to return to the gate to get the problem fixed which delayed is by about an hour. As we were about to depart, one of the stupid flight attendants announced in a very loud voice 'These planes are really old and we have faults all the time'. We were then informed that a passenger had a panic attack and decided to be off-boarded! This caused another long delay while they looked for her luggage. This meant we missed our connection in Dallas for Las Vegas causing a further delay. As a treat I had booked a suite in the Bellagio Hotel as my niece was collecting us early next morning. By the time we arrived at the hotel we had about 4 hours in a room that I had paid aound £700 for. As you can imagine, I have never flown with American Airlines again!

Much of what you were complaining about in the first part of the video weren’t things in control of any airline. I agree that flying in the sardine class (aka coach) is absolute hell. That is a U.S. airline industry issue. If British Airways coach service is better than U.S. counterparts, I understand your anger at being put on a substandard flight for what you purchased. My only suggestion: upgrade next time.

TSA Pre comes for free on Global Entry. Much better than British security and immigration at Heathrow

I'm feeling for your experience, McMaster 😊

Thanks Lee, i enjoyed your tours around NY, and the flight, rail trip back to Mansfield, now put the feet up, have a rest with cold XXXX Aussie beer 😉 Au

[@tomkemp9465]

No wonder you were fed up. All around the airport and even on the plane, that awful music seemed to be following you. Nightmare

Why do people clap when it lands. Are they celebrating it’s not crashed 😅

It's a signal for "thank God this f***ing nightmare of a flight is over."

Normal Airline Service in general these days... Iberia is more or less the same.... Flew top floor BA 380.. didn't like it... Flew KLM 787 liked it ..then again im only 5 11.. not 6 4.. you might need first class only....
