You made me laugh! I am Canuck. I have a Nexus with Global Entry privileges and TSA precheck.. Do yourself the favour and do whatever it is you have to do to get it.
If you ever have the chance take an international carrier business or first class flight and you will see the difference. All business class is nice but the European and Asian airlines are incredible. Also hi cupcake 🥰
Domestic business and first is such trash by comparison. AA doesn't really have a nice product for international flights, but at least United does. Now the gulf carriers, they're on another level.
Love this review. I almost always fly business/first class. That price was fantastic especially international! Definitely get global entry. If you have certain Amex cards, they will reimburse you too
Global Entry is totally worth it. It’s $15 more than TSA precheck and you have to do an in person interview at the airport, but so worth the hassle. You get precheck AND global entry which speeds you through immigration when you return to the US. Especially at airports like MIA, the lines can be daunting but with GE, you’re through in minutes. You can also do your interview when you are going through customs upon return from a trip, at certain airports.
We just got b back from Singapore, and using Global Entry was so easy. It was two of us versus a few hundred going through the regular line. Edit: My traveling companion did her interview and it vtook about five minutes, at the office located prior to baggage claim in Seattle. She was able to utilize Global Entry as well.
Great video!! Your excitement and appreciation were infectious. If you liked American's business class, you aint seen nothing yet! The business and first class on the European, Middle Eastern and Asian airlines are in a league above!
@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460 FYI sis I came from Dubai in June 2023 DO NOT go during summer months 😂. I went cause it was cheaper but dealt with biblical hot 112 degree weather. Seen Lions hunting Gazelle in front of the mall
Congrats J and glad you enjoyed the experience. Got to fly business class for work and now that I’m retired, I’m still hooked. Flying Virgin Upper Class from TPA to London next year for first time. Great video BTW!
Nice video, finally a video about an I.S carrier business class that isn’t about complaining and how “superior” European and Middle East business class
AA has gotten a lot better lately, while United and Delta have definitely gone down hill. Congrats on your first time in business. Hope you get to fly International First Class on AA before they phase it out. Do a deeeeeep dive on how points and miles hacking works and you could be the next big travel youtuber 😎👍
Hey J, as a pilot for American thank you so much for flying with us and glad you enjoyed your business class experience! Hope to see you up front again soon
This is the best business class review video on RUclips. I flew international J once and I had the same excitement as you for all of the fun perks. I can't wait to see more.
Haha Jay, now you have experienced business class, it will be very difficult to do long haul in economy! I’m old and grey and have decided that if I can’t afford business class for flights of 8 hours or more, I’m either going on a cruise ship, or I’m not going at all! I was recently in Japan and got 6 solid hours of sleep flying Westjet business class from Tokyo to Calgary. It was totally worth it! I have not flown on American but their setup in business class looks reminiscent of Virgin Atlantic and Air New Zealand, in that you face away from the window. Not my favourite setup, but I will be cruising to Australia in 2024 and coming back to Canada on Air New Zealand, so we’ll see!
@@rongarris8574It’s Gerarda, but no problem! I just returned from Mexico (4.5 hours in economy) and it was absolutely fine. Good legroom and awesome company.
@@petervonkanel4963 If you do, consider spending one night in Narita before embarking on whatever plans you have in Japan. I stayed at the Narita Airport Hilton, where I rejuvenated at the swimming pool before getting a good night’s sleep. The next morning I took the hotel’s free shuttle to the Narita Japan Rail station, but I did not take the train. I walked down a charming street to the Naritasan Shinshōji Temple, which is actually a big campus of historic temples and gardens. It was a lovely introduction to Japan. I even met an Air Canada pilot who was doing the same between flights. That afternoon I joined my group in Tokyo (we were doing a foodie tour).
Now you do know that there's a difference between business class and first class, don't you? And American Airlines is one of the few airlines that actually has first class *and* business class on some international flights. So when you write "first class" when you really fly business class, I wonder if you intentionally try to clickbait your viewers or if you are making an honest mistake.
Jay, I loved your modest approach and enthusiasm to Business. I found it very relatable as, like you, I'm not accustomed to treating myself. Have made two trips overseas on employee passes in Business on both Delta and Air France but would never indulge myself. Heading back this Fall in Coach, alas!
I love this comment. I am a natural penny pinching and NEVER splurge but finally in my mid 30s and I have $$$ to spend going to get that business class ticket.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Global Entry/ TSA Pre-check. Thanks for this video. Your excitement over this first experience was palpable. I agree, flying business class or higher is the way to go!
Global entry plus Clear is the way to go. If your regular traveler, I’ve flown business class twice last year on Copa airlines But my bank accounts strictly forbid it …..I do have the platinum card from Amex the centurion longe should be on your everyone wish list
Great video. I flew in 1st class from Norfolk VA to Seattle WA on American Airlines, and it was a totally different experience . The food and service were very good. I will definitely do it again. Thanks for sharing 😀
Good video as a first-time in Business class. Nice. Misleading title though. AA does actually (for now) actually have a First Class cabin on their 777-300s. You were on a 777-200 which only has Business. Those First Class seats are much nicer.
Wow! That's so cheap! We're going to Vietnam in January our tickets were 1500 FOR ECONOMY lol and first class was $17,000 lol when I looked at first class to Paris is was 6k
I came across your video by accident today, January 20, 2024. As a Black man, I always dreamt of traveling to London, Rome, and Paris before I die. I live alone and I'm now a senior citizen with no friends or family. I haven't flown in about 25 years and that was to Puerto Rico. I have always been afraid of heights. My longtime neighbor is a single gay Black man 2 years younger than me. He has traveled all over the world by himself. He loves traveling to the Dominican Republic nd Brazil. His best friend works for American Airlines and he uses his best friend buddy pass. I believe that's what its called. I am afraid to travel alone now that I'm 68 years old, and especially to another country. The world is crazy with so many wanting to do evil, hurt, rob, or kill others. I also have cervical vertigo in my neck causing me dizziness and walking off balance and this is another reason why I fear traveling alone. I guess I will never get to see Palermo, Italy and the Vatican in Rome as a Black Catholic. I will start watching your videos from time to time living through your world travels.🤣
I upgraded to domestic first class once and now that's all I fly. It's hard to go back. Obviously not as nice as this but definitely better than economy. I don't fly very much so I make it work.
This was interesting to see the difference between the have and have-by nots experiences. I have a close relative who inherited a lot of $$$ and says she’ll always fly 1st class forever more. Must be nice!
Welcome to the slippery slope of business class where you get into the game of flexible dates, locations, point-reward credit cards, frequent flyer mile games, and using seat guru to research planes to make sure you get the one with "new" refreshed seats - not the old, dated cabin.
Loved the video! I’m making my first overseas trip in February on AA and, like you, I splurged a little to upgrade to Business Class. It was great to see what to expect!
"Thanks, my first time flying Business" was cute! As others have mentioned, make sure to test out the International airlines next. Quality and amenities are next level. Happy traveling!
As an Army soldier stationed in Korea, I had a PCS move that includes a free ticket on Korean Air, they overbooked the flight. Had an early flight I had to run to catch. But they upgraded me to first class. The recline to bed like seats are nice
I'm smiling like a Cheshire Cat from where your channel started to today..BTW you belong anywhere you enter own it. I've seen numerous RUclipsrs filming in the Airline lounges.
Thanks for sharing, I try to avoid longhaul with US carriers. I'm booked next year in May rountrip in First Class with Emirates in A380 from Toronto to Auckland via Dubai. 28 hrs. going to New Zealand and 31hrs. Back to Toronto. Can't wait. Try flying other international airlines .
Cant compare the premium frenchbee to business. FB is a good deal for premium but not like full flat. That said airlines vary. Many of the legendary business airlines are middle eastern eg qatar, emirates, etihad. Others asian. Qantas. It was only a 8hr flight. Try Sydney 14hr or Syd to London in business. Even get pjs !!
Maybe it's me...but like American carriers Business Classic is kinda...meh. Plastic cup on business class? Yikes. Also food looked bland. But I love your attitude bro. Subscribed!
Thank you for sharing your trip in Business Class. Yes, it is nice to fly Business Class or First Class. Have you been adding points to your airline that you fly the most?? When you have your airline membership points, you can use your status to upgrade on some many trips. I take it you have applied for American's Advantage Program or United'sProgram or Delta's Program. And yes, walking into one of the many lounges is worth it to have a drink and a nice meal. So, apply to whom ever membership program to have better flights!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you.😊😊😊😊
I fly first class with American every time. With me being a large woman (though I have now lost 76 pounds!!), the seats are more comfortable. I love that my luggage is free AND I get it first. The snacks are always way better, too. When my granddaughter travels with me (she's 10), she loves it! Once we traveled with her parents, but they were in Economy (I bought her ticket so she would travel with me). One of the funniest moments was me joking with her that her parents were in the "peasant section." I was JOKING! But once on the plane, at one point she went to the back to find them. She came back up their aisle and said loudly, *"Grammy, I found them! They're at the front of the peasant section!"* Everyone up front started laughing. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself, J!
I love this for you. I’ve never watched your page before but it’s great seeing you enjoying this. Videos like this are one of the many reasons why I make sure I smile at my fellow Black travellers in business/first class. I generally fly first and business and on my most recent trip, I smiled at an elderly Nigerian man in business as well. The man spent the whole flight smiling back at me as if I was his granddaughter.
It looks fairly decent, but i recommend the gulf airlines, they have amazing Business class. I have tried Egypten Air, Qatar Airlines and Oman Air. Can highly recommend Oman Air, their long haul Business Class, is just beyond!! When flying long haul, if possible, go for Business Class! Anyway nice and relaxed review, Thanks
Those paid upgrades are a steal! That's why I don't book First Class outright because I usually get a reasonable paid upgrade offer at check-in. Case in point on my final flight of 2023...$51 to upgrade :) - Red
Wow! You lucked out. I have been to over 130 countries and avoid AA at all costs. Even my friends who work for them say they are awful. I am glad it was a good experience for you. Hi Cupcake!
This is what you get for making fun of the Diane Money. You will never want to fly economy ever again. Those business class seats are a must for long haul travel and for me personally, short haul as well. Everybody complains about American, but I mostly only fly them and I’ve never had a bad first or business class flight. Glad you enjoyed!❤️✈️🛳️
You need to fix the title. Your seat isn't Flagship First. It's just Business Class like you said at the beginning. True First Class would be Lufthansa or Singapore or ANA. And Flagship First doesn't even compare with them.
Don't think you're alone. As much as I love flying First and Business, I know that next year, when I retire, I'll be flying in the back of the bus. Nice review for a first time Biz Class flyer. I'm an AA Frequent Flyer and whenever I can domestically, I fly First, which is really no w a business class product unless you fly transcon.
I travel for work and I do the same thing as you. Bought my ticket then paid for the upgrade. Business class on long haul flights is the way to go! Also, on a Business Class ticket, don't settle for the Admirals Club, hit the Flagship lounge, its WAAAAAAAYYYY better than the Admirals Club. Lastly, pay for the Global Entry, if you do a lot of international travel, because it comes with TSA Pre-check. When you apply, you pay $100 and will get a conditional approval after a few weeks. When you return from international travel (once you have the conditional approval), you can do the interview upon arrival.. takes all but 5 minutes.
Excellent review! I have two business class flights coming up. One to LHR and one to FRA (Both originate out of DFW non-stop). I'm already a member of the Admiral's Club but I'm excited to use the Flagship Lounge. Again, thanks for sharing.
❤❤ this video, thinking about my next trip to Europe 😍😍😍 unfortunately can’t afford first or business class .😢 but still will enjoy my trip to London, Amsterdam and Paris ✈️
Wow, welcome to the MATRIX. This is the only way to fly AA out of MIA .Get global entry, APEX amd NEXUS immediately. As tor the flagship lounge I arrive early and take advantage of all the ammentities.
We take first class/business if we are traveling over 5 hours. I can’t sleep sitting up so it works for us. We are traveling to Sydney, Australia for a cruise/tour in January and with a 15 hour flight from Dallas we bit the bullet and are going business. We’ve been waiting to take this trip since before Covid so saved up to pay for it.
The problem is now you wont ever want to fly economy again.
I scored a business class seat on an AA 787-9 for later this year. Thanks for your uplifting review. Hi cupcake.
Ayo got to go to Paris to see ya girl, enjoy man
Dope.. I definitely need to try that soon.. Great video..
You made me laugh! I am Canuck. I have a Nexus with Global Entry privileges and TSA precheck.. Do yourself the favour and do whatever it is you have to do to get it.

Yes! All american airlines "business" or "first" classes are joka and literally dog shit 😅
True I don't wanna mention because they ain't paying me lol but I took ones of these and I was blown away
Don’t try to slip European in there. European airlines are closer to us airlines in terms of quality vs their Asian counterparts
For long distance yes, but biz within Europe is a total ripoff. Don't waste your money.
I highly recommend you do more lounge/flight reviews. This was cool. I'm a bigger guy, so I take comfortable travel seriously lol
Jay you’ve gotta get TSA pre-check! It’s super convenient and not very expensive. So worth it!
We have both Pre-Check and Global Entry and it totally worth it. Especially after a long flight.
Get Global Entry instead because it includes TSA Pre check as well.
Yes! And lots of credit cards refund the cost, just gotta check your travel perks!
Love this review. I almost always fly business/first class. That price was fantastic especially international! Definitely get global entry. If you have certain Amex cards, they will reimburse you too
My Capital One Venture Visa card reimbursed me the $100 Global Entry cost..
Global Entry is totally worth it. It’s $15 more than TSA precheck and you have to do an in person interview at the airport, but so worth the hassle. You get precheck AND global entry which speeds you through immigration when you return to the US. Especially at airports like MIA, the lines can be daunting but with GE, you’re through in minutes.

Yes please tell him! I would never travel without it! I love it! It's only $15 dollars more! Just $100! That is priceless! ❤
Definitely get Global entry, is quicker.
The only catch is that right now they are taking for ever. I put through my renewal in October and I'm still waiting on the letter.
I'm going to apply for Global Entry today! Thanks for mentioning this
Great video!! Your excitement and appreciation were infectious. If you liked American's business class, you aint seen nothing yet! The business and first class on the European, Middle Eastern and Asian airlines are in a league above!
My dream is to fly to Dubai in one of their first class pods. Ahhhh, 🎵to dreeaaaaammmmm, the impossible dreeeaaammmmm! 🎶

You need Global Entry, that gives you TSA plus easy access back from international travel. Basically bypass Customs

Congrats. You will love Emirates First Class. DBX-IAH 16-hr flight best ever.
Cant compare the premium frenchbee to business. FB is a good deal for premium but not like full flat. That said airlines vary. Many of the legendary business airlines are middle eastern eg qatar, emirates, etihad. Others asian. Qantas. It was only a 8hr flight. Try Sydney 14hr or Syd to London in business. Even get pjs !!
I wasn’t comparing. Just mentioning who I normally fly with to Europe. I will be flying to the Middle East and Australia next year. I can’t wait!
awesome the video was great and am planning a trip soon
$2000 extra for Premium Economy? Damn.

he will feel the difference once he sees the prices too
Wow Jay-that was fun, flying vicariously with you! I can't wait to fly like that too. Enjoy Paris!!!
Hi J, thanks for sharing your business class experience. I would love to give it a try!
I flew business class from Dallas to Incheon Korea & I loved it👍
That was horrible food onboard
I just booked a flight to Europe from CVG. I wish they would’ve offered me this deal! My first class business option was $10,000 😩

I travel for work and I do the same thing as you. Bought my ticket then paid for the upgrade. Business class on long haul flights is the way to go! Also, on a Business Class ticket, don't settle for the Admirals Club, hit the Flagship lounge, its WAAAAAAAYYYY better than the Admirals Club. Lastly, pay for the Global Entry, if you do a lot of international travel, because it comes with TSA Pre-check. When you apply, you pay $100 and will get a conditional approval after a few weeks. When you return from international travel (once you have the conditional approval), you can do the interview upon arrival.. takes all but 5 minutes.
hello cupcake
Excellent review! I have two business class flights coming up. One to LHR and one to FRA (Both originate out of DFW non-stop). I'm already a member of the Admiral's Club but I'm excited to use the Flagship Lounge. Again, thanks for sharing.

You are so right and thank you for pointing out the advantages, including the pass upon arrival
Hi cupcake!
Brilliantly done. Started following you bro. Cool vlog 🙌from Scotland 🏴
I travelled American from LHR to DFW last month. I would never, ever, ever fly with them again. I'd rather walk.
You gotta love the business class flights. The seats, the unlimited alcohol, access to all the movies & entertainment onboard. Perfection.
J, congrats on your first Business Class flight! You’re right, once you try it, you’re hooked forever. Here’s to many more 🎉.
Im English flew American Airlines once to New York for Christmas shopping they absolutely brilliant couldn’t do enough for us 😊
❤❤ this video, thinking about my next trip to Europe 😍😍😍 unfortunately can’t afford first or business class .😢 but still will enjoy my trip to London, Amsterdam and Paris ✈️
Wow, welcome to the MATRIX. This is the only way to fly AA out of MIA .Get global entry, APEX amd NEXUS immediately. As tor the flagship lounge I arrive early and take advantage of all the ammentities.
Hi cupcake
I'm jaded having only flown International First/Business Class. I enjoyed your video, it will make me appreciate it more. Hi Cupcake!!
Ah Cupcake gets her own business class area. Cute pup. Great review.
I would spend the whole flight staring at cupcake. I know working dog but still adorable.
Wow I really love this video! Great review.
We take first class/business if we are traveling over 5 hours. I can’t sleep sitting up so it works for us. We are traveling to Sydney, Australia for a cruise/tour in January and with a 15 hour flight from Dallas we bit the bullet and are going business. We’ve been waiting to take this trip since before Covid so saved up to pay for it.
GOOD VIDEO
