Overall Impression:
For those of you who followed my previous reviews, you know that I'm a huge fan of American's Business Class on their Boeing 777-300ER. So how does the 777-200 seats compare?
AA has 2 versions of their 777-200ER business class seats. This is the older version of the 2 which is made by Zodiac Aerospace. Half of the seats face forward, and the other half are aft facing. The big problem with these seats are that they are tethered together in pairs, so if one of your neighbors adjusts their seat or merely move, you'll feel a shake in your seat as well, which could be bothersome especially when you're trying to relax and sleep. Luckily, I'm traveling with someone I know, so it is less awkward.
The in-flight food was OK, though a bit uninspiring.
The Miami based crew were friendly and efficient in delivering service. Our flight attendants we interacted with took good care of us during the flight and constantly checked if we needed anything.
What I liked:
The seats - The seats aren't actually that bad, but the shaking and rocking are really noticeable during the flight when the person in the next seat you're tethered to moves, or adjusts their seat. Other than that, I thought the seats pretty comfortable. They are lie flat, laid out well and have direct aisle access. Not to mention American has personal air nozzles to sweeten the deal.
The onboard service - The crew on this flight was good. The 2 senior flight attendants we interacted with onboard were charming and delivered quick and efficient service during the flight.
The IFE - AA's Panasonic IFE is among my favorite in the sky. The interface is intuitive and responsive. There was also plenty of media content and my favorite Voyager moving map app to keep me occupied during this transatlantic flight.
What I didn't like:
Admirals Club at MIA - This lounge is usually very crowded, we were surpised that it was rather empty when we arrived. As usual, the food and beverage selection were limited. We look forward to visiting the Flagship Lounge next time when it's open.
Plastic Cups in Business Class - Please bring back the glassware soon!
Expensive WiFi Service - In-flight WiFi used to be $20 for the entire flight, but it appears the price has gone up almost double to $35.
It was OK...I guess:
The Food - The catering on this flight wasn't bad, but it was a bit meh. The chicken breast dish I ordered was moist and tender. Even though the plating and presentation was a bit uninspiring, I really liked the dish. The breakfast choice was either a hot or cold dish, and I chose the hot which was the enchilada which was delicious!
The Amenities - AA offers a business class amenity kit, Bang and Olufsen noise canceling headphones (collected 45 minutes before landing), a business class amenity kit, bottled water, and a full-size pillow and duvet set. No slippers or pajamas on AA though...

I did a trip report on this aircraft also, same cabin. But we got next to nothing in terms of service since it was just Charlotte to Miami.

Thanks for watching!
Why on earth would AA be so behind on their food/beverage service in these times…..plastic and a single tray…..🤦🏼♂️😳
I don't mind the single tray so much, but the plastic cups are the thing the bugs me. Thanks for watching!
Good video and very informative. I noticed they are no longer giving headphones from Bose. Does that mean they stopped going around an hour before landing and collecting them? (That was a real pain.)
Thanks for watching! They still collect the headsets 45 mins before landing.
AA is definitely last place right now on bringing back proper food & beverage service in any of their cabins, especially the premium products
Agreed. Thanks for watching!
American NEVER had a good meal. Worse was US Air and I think after the merger AAs meals got worse, though better than US Air. The good thing about all three US Carriers Pre-COVID was you could get an Ice Cream Sunday. It would be great if the Ice Cream would come back. At least the Ice Cream Sandwich United Served in Coach before COVID.
I wonder if anyone from AA watches trip reports and thinks: We can do so much better
I hope they do. Thanks for watching!
That chicken breast looks like it was first dropped on the ground, and then thrown back onto the plate with force.
LOL I had to re-watch that part to see and I agree. Thanks for watching!
American Airlines should be embarrassed by their food presentation. 🤨. Sadly, they’re not. 😞
Agreed. Thanks for watching!
Food does not look very appetizing, and they should really stop serving in plastic cups. American Airlines you can do better than this! Traveling with them next spring to Barcelona, business class and now I’m regretting it. Thanks for the video.
I agree with you, the food and beverage options and presentation needs work. Thanks for watching!
American Airlines have to stop to use plastic glass.
Agreed. Thanks for watching!
