On my way back from Canada, I flew American Airlines in Main Cabin Extra on the 737-800 to Chicago. While I don't mind the new Kodiak retrofit that American has installed across most of its narrowbodies, there are just some confusing details about this cabin that I can't seem to get over.
American Airlines is my most-flown airline and likely will remain so for a very long time. While competitors like United and Delta are investing in their fleets to make the experience more enjoyable, even on domestic or short-haul flights, the same can't be said for American.
I hope you enjoy this journey back to the States, detailing every part of the trip from the Canadian departure experience to rather odd arrival into Chicago thanks to Canadian wildfire smoke!

In Calgary you are at altitude (anything over 3,000 feet) which is why there was a long take off
11:36 From what I would guess, (and I have no experience with this) the airbags look like they could be used to keep someone from flying forward into the bulkhead because they can’t form the proper brace position because of the distance/ shape of the bulkhead.
Great video like always. I agree that airplane automated announcements are so annoying, and they have them for practically everything, where you hardly hear FA talk anymore. Now I need to visit baniff national park, looks so cool.
A + GREAT VID .
Great, informative video!!! Thanks!!!
Its sad I live in Fort Worth and this is usually the best airline choice for me. AA was great back in the 2000s with their "more legroom" md-80s. Their interior concept is now the polar opposite. It's also funny that "American" is virtually all Airbus domestically now.
Great trip report! New to your site from YYC. AA has always struggled in yyc to ord other than even now maybe DFW. UA and AC own these routes especially IAH and SFO and ORD. AA is sort of a forgotten fixture here although they did very well in the 90's. Just a forgotten old soul.
Hopefully you get a chance to fly on one of United's MAXes or even one of their NEXT Airbuses
Definitely hoping for that day to come soon!
ryanair would fly from stanstead to new york if they wanted
A very confusing trip report and was also filmed on my birthday
A very confusing trip report and was also filmed on my birthday. The A319s and A321s are better.
I’ll be honest, I feel like American is trying to compete with Spirit & Frontier. They’ve been trying so hard to become a horrible airline. Every-time I fly American, I’m always delayed.
