    On a good day, AA can have a seriously impressive international business class. It’s just those rare poor experiences that seem to get the most attention. If they can just be more consistent, I think that would go a long way.

    @cbiasizzo 3 года назад +31

    As a flight attendant let me advise you to feel free and have the gate agent verify with the crew that your special meals have been loaded moments before boarding. Ultimately it's up to the purser to check the manifest before boarding to make sure we have everything we need. Sometimes we get busy, especially when there's a discrepancy during our equipment inspections, and we forget to check our meal carts. If we don't the gate agent will usually compensate with meal vouchers among other compensations.

    There’s no incentive for them to improve because of their omnipresence. If you have options due to your budget, location, and airport size, you can boycott an airline for life. Most people just want the cheapest, easiest route, so they’ll go for whoever fits the bill.

    I enjoy your reviews so much. My priority is a good night sleep, and I have had consistently good experiences on AA’s business class and first class out of Los Angeles to Tokyo and London. The bedding and the crew’s care have been really positive for me. And when I can’t sleep, the inflight entertainment is tops. As far as cuisine, that sometimes seems carefully engineered to be just good enough.

The 777-232ERs delivered from the factory with Flagship suites had multiple sets of two air nozzles per seat/suite

    I also got the opportunity to review AAL B77W from LAX-MIA a 5hrs flight. In May 2021, the service was still limited due to COVID. But the experience was absolutely surprising! I agree with you. I got a full-service breakfast like in a long-haul flight. The bar was totally filled with cookies, snacks, and drinks. FA was awesome, Safran Cirrus seats are comfortable, got a blanket and a pillow. The best part is that I got a fare LAX-SAL via MIA for just $250!! I also tried Super diamond seats (LAX-DFW) service wasn't that good but it the Definitely a great opportunity to review the 777. Love your videos keep going!

    Hi Dan and Happy New Year!
    It's just my two cents, but I think the AA business class is just a reflection of the priorities of US business travelers. They seem to want elite status and miles more than good service and food. I had chats with people I work with about their pre-covid travel and was perplexed that they turned down the option to fly airlines like Singapore and Qatar, so they could fly on AA, United or Delta metal to earn elite qualifying dollars and Million Miler qualifying miles.

    AA service is no where near the the ME3 airlines and the AA J class is similar to Cathay Pacific (CX).
    Having flown AA F & J classes, the J seats are much better than BA old Club World seats.
    Now that BA are rolling out the Club Suites in their longhaul fleets, it is much better and positions BA back in front.

    Dan, my partner is gluten free and his meals in Business Class are often very disappointing. Would you consider doing a video on airlines and how they cater for various dietary requirements? Sometimes you and Oscar are delighted with your meals but often it seems little or no effort has been made by the airline to present you with a culinary feast. Happy New Year to you both from Scotland.

    • @Skipbo000
      @Skipbo000 2 года назад

      In the service industry gluten free is code for "I need a reason for special attention." Why? Because it's been proven that just because something is gluten-free doesn't mean it's healthy, in fact it usually has more sugar and additives than regular food and the fact that you're on vacation or eating out and expect a special dish created just for you because you demand it is totally ridiculous.

    • @kshdorii
      @kshdorii 2 года назад +2

      @@Skipbo000 People usually ask for gluten free meals when they have gluten sensivity, if they eat food which contains gluten they get sick from it for days, not a very pleasant way to spend a vacation so it is a valid request, any professional food service provider should be considerate of dietary requirements.

    Happy New Year to you too, Dan! I have to come here( on this video) to let you know......about the one you did on july 24th.
    I watched the video you put en July 20 and left a comment. Than you invited us to watch the next one as you had 'more things' to share about that flight ( you could have said in one same video) .....And on this next video you did not let us put our comments. I feel like you ask our opinion....but than why do you not want us to write?

    Non-Stop Dan, I always wondered if you redeem your reward miles on the credit card site, or redeem them on the airline site. Is there a a better way to get hte most out of your reward miles?
