Wish I saw this video before I took the LAX-DFW flight in December 2021. The pod was AWESOME. And I had not seen a rear facing seat since I was in the Air Force.
I never thought they’d use a 787 for such a short flight. Unless a lot of the flights leaving major cities like LA use wide-bodied planes. I live closer to a smaller city so I usually see 737s for domestic.
@@WillAviation Oh that is different! I was sitting in a rear facing United 777-200 a couple of years ago. Looking right into the engine without turning my head lol
This has to be old footage pre-COVID. Not one person wearing a mask and the flight attendant on board coughed which would have definitely raised eyebrows.
I don't like the seat layouts.. I would want to fly first so I wouldn't be seated by someone wanting to make conversation.. But with this layout someone is facing you the whole time.. Uncomfortable.. lol
Awesome review! Thanks for such a thorough video showing the seat, cabin, food, IFE.
Thanks!
this was SO HELPFUL! thank you.
Ah yes, marketed as domestic first class but business in an international flight? Slick video, I subbed!
Indeed! Thanks for watching!
4A is where I’ll be sitting on Monday!! So excited!!!
Enjoy!
Business class pods: *Perfect for introverts*

Great video keep up the good work bro👊🏽
Thanks!
Just about the headphones. Do they provide or you being your own?
They’re provided!
Outstanding trip report. It looks like a very good flight with AA. The meal was tasty.

Large volume of passengers to haul. Short or long distance is almost immaterial.
So all passengers not in first walk through to their seats?
We boarded through the second cabin door, so First was to the left and Economy / Premium were to the right!
I know I’m new rules this but do you have to pay separate for the food in first class or is it all included
All included!
Amazing video
Thanks!
I want to know why AA planes from the DCA / CLT headed to the west coast not these type of plane?
It depends, sometimes they just need to reposition the aircraft to a different city, or it’s because they need the extra seat capacity on the route!
They are mainly used for long haul/international flights but occasionally east/west
Not enough of them yet. Better to fly 5 midsize aircraft or 2 787s, if you have extras? No brainer.
So is business class better than First Class nowadays?
Nice! Looks like the same layout and seats on Air Canada 787-8?
Similar seat style, but on American's 787-8s some of the seats face backwards like mine. On Air Canada's 787s all the seats are forward-facing
@@WillAviation Oh that is different! I was sitting in a rear facing United 777-200 a couple of years ago. Looking right into the engine without turning my head lol
so are all American Airlines 787-8 planes First Class this way?
Yes, I believe so!
You flight on Business class not First class, maybe the experience was first class?
American calls the “Business Class” cabin of their domestic flights “First Class”. United and Delta do the same

Nah fr?
The date was literally shown in the first few moments… I think it was January 2020
@@tanya5322 It was added after my comment, hence the 4 upvotes and OP responding to everybody else's comment but mine.
Date wasn’t added to the video, was in the original file when it was uploaded
