I just updated our seats to the main cabin extra because of your video. It’s a two 3 hour flight with a 4 year old after our return from the Disney Cruise. I’d rather be comfortable. It was $160 for us both on the 2 flights. I think it’s worth it.
Thank you for the video. It helped with us deciding.
I would have done the same when mine were that age! I hope you had a great trip!
My Vegas trip in February from DFW to LAS, the AA meal service was AWESOME!! Pre-covid type meal service. Return trip wasn't all that but I'll take the good with the bad! Was nice to have a full belly getting into Vegas for 4 nights of drinking and gambling!
Heading there at the end of the Month! Hoping for warm weather!
Love seeing your travels. Local to BOI as well, actually in one of your videos. Safe travels!
Awesome! Thank you!
I'm happy with Pre-Check. It always gets me through pretty quick.
I've only had some wait at places like Newark or Atlanta. Never had a wait in Boise...clear in Boise makes me giggle a bit. Maybe someday...
@@TrizityTraveling Yes Atlanta gets real busy at "rush hour" in the morning. But even then the Pre-Check line wasn't too long for me, only about 10 or 15 minutes.
Thank you for sharing.😊
My pleasure 😊
I did my private pilot training at Boise Airport!
Good times, I hope!
I don't see the difference between this seat and their economy seats.
Seats are the same, just more leg room and an adult beverage as part of the fare...
Great video!! What do you use to edit and put your videos together to make it a "film"?
Thank you so much! I use professional editing software: Adobe Premiere Pro to edit and put my videos together. It allows me to add special effects, transitions, and create that "film" look.
What ear buds are you enjoying ? Was some of the audio thru the ear buds ? Looks like Boise is pretty busy. Good to see.
Those are soundcore buds...I'm working with a dedicated external mic, not the earbud mic. Figured the ambient noise level in the cabin would be too great for that...still working on placement of the mic.
I would never do the Clear either. TSA precheck is fine for me.
Agreed. My sister-in-law loves clear, but she may fly through mostly big airports.
Clear is sooo annoying!. I was traveling out of DCA last weekend and there were only like 3 people in the precheck lane I was in, but it took several minutes because Clear kept cutting. Finally the TSA agent told them wait, thankfully, and got me through. It's just very rude the way it's set up.
I agree with that. I had several people "cut" in front of me in BOI.
I have clear + TSA pre and it's an amazing combo.
Good info! One question, does the main cabin extra seat has a better recline angle than the economy seat?
I hate to admit, but I actually don't know, sorry. I don't fully recline unless its an international flight, and I didn't try it on this flight...I'll have to add that as a "to do" on my next flights and start reporting on the recline.
I think that main cabin and basic cabin is that with main you get more protections with your tickets. With basic guy can’t get any refunds and you wait the longest to board
Also, you can’t choose your seats with basic but you can with main cabin I think
@@TrizityTraveling Many videos don't include the info of seat and backrest. Information of how soft, medium soft, firm, hard, or concrete with illusions of being soft. How wide is it and the titling of the backrest. Comparisons of the differences of all the Economy seats. If it's worth the money then that means you would be willing to buy that seat again or willing to if it's in another area, such as by the isle. Only once I saw a RUclipsr use a measuring tap to give exact info for the seat width, depth, and leg room, sad part that guy wasn't gaining subs but he had good content. Also no bad sound quality or jumps in sound, he did great keeping it at a certain level to avoid blasting the viewers with those volume spikes... like TV does with their commercials.
As it is a Main Cabin seat, no, there is no difference. The only difference is leg room.
If you ever get a chance to fly on an E170/5, DO IT!!! Bigger better seat than all the rest. It's very close to Economy Plus as far as width and very good leg room. Standard seat so same recline.
EP: 18.5-18.7"
E170/5: 18.2"
I'm not a frequent flyer, but when I do fly, yes, I splurge for Business.
A bit of confusion with all domestic airlines: they call it First, but it's not. It's Business. You can see it on your receipt. Ticket & website says 1st, but receipt shows Business. Which, the section clearly is. First is only truly on international or a true Transcontinental flight.
As for me, the ONLY time I "downgrade" to MCE is if it's on an E-170/5. And even then, I purchase a Main and select an MCE seat. The seat fee is cheaper than a full ticket cost. And I've never had an issue boarding in Group 5 vs 4 because the overhead is designated for MCE. Also never had an issue with a free adult beverage.
As to the why only on Embraer? Seat width!! 18.2" and yes, I book the bulkhead. My tablet sits right next to me or in the pouch.
I tried MCE on a 737 once - I'm not a big guy but ya know what? That seat is dang tiny and not very comfortable. 17.2"? Yeah I'll pass.
I have Clear and it’s worth it. I’m older than you and I don’t care if the government has my fingerprints. I had them taken decades ago for security clearance as ATC new hire.
Does main cabin extra have more of a recline? That's what I'm really looking for because my back bothers me if I sit upright for a long time
Unfortunately I don't know the answer. Unless I'm on an overnight, I don't typically recline and didn't check it out on this flight.
Tell me about the Main Cabin extra leg room. Is it significant over "regular?" What about compared to Exit row? TIA
I think it's 4-5" more leg room. Exit row is something like 8-10" I think. So not as good as an exit row, but better than regular.
what happens when a passenger s posterior is too big for a seat.. what acccomodations do they have and addl charges.... balancing the plane etc.. i suppose it is possibe for one to be too big for the jet
No idea what happens...I'm guessing they may have to pay for two seats...
Me too about finger prints
How did you like the admiral club there?
The Admirals club will be covered in this week's video...spoiler: its good!
You get to go to admirals club with main extra seat?
Unfortunately no, I have access with my American Airlines credit card.
Get clear through a credit card perk it’s worth it.
Does it recline
Hi are there tvs on AA? I’m so use to JetBlue
Thanks
Only in some of their first class cabins, mainly on the widebody aircraft. They actively removed them from the economy cabins some time back.
@@TrizityTraveling thank you!!! I was trying to figure out why where their flights half the cost LOL now I know why! Also, there are way too many layovers! No thanks!!
Thank you for responding! New Subbie😆
You are welcome and I'm happy to help...and welcome aboard!
@@rubyroches4142sorry, but yep you go ahead and pay double cost for a silly 9" seat back screen. As for layovers, the time of day DOES matter to most airports. Sure some you can't get away from, but if you're flexible you can.
But ok, enjoy your inflated ticket cost. Your money not mine.
Which seat were you in?
9A
Do they offer you free alcohol in main cabin extra?
I'll have to ask my FA friend who works for AA as I don't recall. I think it is one free. You are welcome to come into my livestream to ask him directly (he often attends or guest spots when he's not working) today at 12pm ET or Wed at 8PM ET
Yes, 1 is included, and if you have a fun FA, they might get you a 2nd. We always bring chocolate for them and sometimes score lol. They put 1 in the cup and the 2nd is "palmed"
I did not identify the plane and there is no mention in the video either. It looks like a Boeing 737.
Oops! My bad for not mentioning the plane in the video. It is a Boeing 737 though, good eye! Not that there's much difference between the economy sections of an A320/B737...
Did you get complimentary alcohol on this flight?
I actually didn't ask. I think the extra section includes a complementary alcoholic beverage...your experience could vary...
What is the difference of choosing main cabin extra on a trip to Europe??
I can only speculate since I've not done it on a European flight, but I think you'll only get the extra leg room.
How can you possibly get on a wrong airplane when they scan your ticket before you board?
Ah, the wonders of human error! Even with all the advanced technology, there's still room for mistakes. But hey, it keeps things interesting, right?
The hard sell for credit cards even in the cabin.
That was crazy. I’m glad I caught it. I had another thought I was going to record and then they started with the sales pitch.
@@TrizityTraveling The last place I would decide to take a credit card is in the cabin. I would like to check all the pros and cons before such a decision. With many cards you have to decide if the benefits outweigh the fees. Though I might take a form home.
You should hear the hard sell on Frontier!
I haven’t heard the sell for a while on American. Maybe my earbuds are that good lol
The government already knows everything about you.
Yeah, probably.
@@TrizityTraveling just from you cell phone and internet traffic.
American airline is the worst ever. Left me and my family stranded at LAX for a whole day recently. Strung us along by delaying the flight for four hours just to turn around and cancel it. I’ll never fly with this company again.
That's a bummer day, I'm so sorry to hear that they did that. Hopefully they provided some compensation, if they haven't you should send them a letter. I've not personally had that bad of a day, but I'm told a letter/email, while not necessarily fast, usually results in some compensation. Although it may be AA vouchers, which you may not want...Sorry again Kenneth.
i would imagine all that emradiation from the wifi is bad for your cells.. i would rather be in wilderness absent 5g radiation for internet etc
Not uncommon where I live...lots of off grid living here.
