We experienced American Airlines flying in coach, and you can to!
We traveled from St. Maarten to Miami with American Airlines onboard one of their new 737MAX airplanes and, in this video, we’ll show you what it was like.
You’ll see the airport in St. Maarten, including the world’s best airport bar! You’ll also see the 737Max seat and inflight entertainment. You’ll even get a sense for what the service is like from American Airlines on an international flight in economy and also see the food they serve on routes like this one.

Jeb is the only guy I know that can fly to the Caribbean and have it rain, and while in Seattle it’s always sunny for him. Classic.
Same
Lol
I prefer the business/first class videos. I fly economy a bunch, but when I get the chance to fly business/first I like looking at your videos to see what the different airlines offer.
Agreed. Also, honestly, other than pitch (which can be obtained from seatguru, etc), all domestic economy is basically the same. F and J have much more variety.
@@nmplsnot really. As the big 3 are the same there is a big difference between JetBlue and Southwest, and the legacy airlines and Spirit. You also have the smaller regional ones.
I really appreciate seeing the economy videos! Would love to see more!
On another note, I have always appreciated how grateful you are to have the first class experiences! It’s clear you have worked hard in your life and are now getting to enjoy the reward and fly around the world, exploring your passion! Keep up the great videos!
Thank you, Jeb. Finally a video on Economy seating!!!! Most travelers fly economy, whether domestic or international, which make this video very relevant to many of your subscribers. I look forward to seeing more economy flight videos :-)
I’ve only ever flown economy. I never bought the in flight food even before the pandemic. I always pack a sandwich, fruit, and chips like I’m going to school and need a lunch. Lol that and I’ll bring a book to read. I usually end up falling asleep though. Haha
HUGE West Wing fan myself Jeb! I've seen the entire series at least 10 times now. It is always in the rotation. Just discovered your channel and am really enjoying it!
I flew on a 737-800 with American earlier this week. The crew was absolutely amazing! Flight reviews can really vary based on how cheerful the crew is!
This is the most excited I've ever seen someone in economy especially on an American airline.
Jeb has the best dialogue throughout all of his videos, which I really enjoy. Nice job, Jeb
Window, no question. It's nice seeing Susanne more. She sure looks like she's having fun. On my bucket list is going to SXM. Great video as always
Finally an economy class video! Economy can be cramped but usually, it's the destination when you fly economy.
Anyone else love this video so much more then you thought you would. Plzzz make more comply videos
I love you guys! It's like traveling with friends. ❤
Thank you for this RUclips. Safe travels. Both of you have an amazing Saturday. Ciao.
I love Delta’s Comfort+. Seats are very comfy with plenty of legroom for my 5’7” self….and always the aisle for me.
Really great that you’ve started including your wife, Suzanne, in recent videos and trips.
Wow! Jeb not wearing a Jeb shirt is just crazy! Loved the video even if I had to suffer with you in economy. I much prefer living vicariously through your business and first class experiences. But any aviation video is better than no aviation video from Jeb Brooks!
Also, ginger ale is also my favourite in flight beverage!
New Jeb Brooks video to start my weekend off right!
I enjoy all of your videos no matter what type of seat. You always make it fun and interesting !
Remote gate boarding and no close up of that big beautiful engine! I'll forgive you this one time Jeb. 😉 😂 I do the same thing with selecting a window and aisle while travelling as a couple. It's worked maybe 50% of the time.
Yes, Jeb definitely missed an opportunity there for some good aviation photography. 🙁
Yes please more economy videos. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this video specifically because it was economy. I think as the world reopens it would be nice to have a few economy flight review videos of both domestic and international routes on some of the more popular airlines. Appreciate it!
Thanks for always being honest with your flight reviews.
I really enjoyed watching this video.
Keep it up.
Great video. Your energy in delivering the content made it that much more entertaining and enjoyable!
It is arguably harder to review economy seats as there is much less to talk about. However you did it in a really nice way. Please continue reviewing your economy flight as most people watching you video will tend to book in this class. Thus honest review of the product is that more important!
I'm a fan of your making more Economy videos. For me, a travel pillow, a good book and a notebook and a pen are essentials for main cabin flights.
Yes please! More economy videos! New follower, have been binging.
Great video! I like all your content-first class, economy class-and the Jeb shirts!
We’ve been watching a lot of your videos and it’s always nice to see the first class options but it’s nicer to see economy seats since that’s what we and many others can afford. We’re going in our honeymoon soon and it’s been stressful looking at first class prices when we’ve flown hundreds of times in economy and we’re just fine lol. So this is a nice reminder (although it’s an older video) that economy seats are perfect too!
I'd definitely would like more economy class videos (keeping the other ones of course) a lot of us always fly economy and I think it would pretty useful to know your take! There's a lot to cover for this kind of flights and you just did that on these amazing new video! Cheers!
Edit: also the value of the production, storytelling, and sights, offer great entertainment regardless if is economy or first class.
I prefer the business/first class flight videos. Everyone knows what economy is like. Love the videos! Thanks Jeb!
Takes a special talent to make coach look fun. Thanks!!
Can’t forget that even if you do the aisle window plan on other flights, a stand by will be put in that middle seat. Always gotta remember stand bys love economy lol
I use the aisle/window strategy, too. For me, it works about a quarter of the time. I always pray that if the middle seat gets taken, it's a small petite woman. Sadly, it's usually a non-rev who needs a lap belt extender.
Can’t believe how soothing your content is, I appreciate you Jeb and Suzanne! Love the channel 😎 💪 come visit Winnipeg again to explore!
Btw that animation from your departure airport to the arrival airport is very good! Keep that in ;-) and thanks for your video on this
Thanks for economy review! Also: The first four seasons of The West Wing is the best TV show ever.
I'd also be interested in the best economy plus/comfort seats and if they are worth the extra price between airlines
Agree
Only really worth it if you're really tall, otherwise the service is exactly the same
I will say, one area that flight reviews are lacking is the dedicated long haul PE cabins, where they have different seats than economy (not just more leg room). Those are kinda interesting because on some airlines, its basically Y with a better seat and others its closer to J with a worse seat. Unfortunately innovation is sort of dead in the segment -- Its really too bad air new zealand's space seat didn't get more reviews. That seat was wild (the closest thing to a J seat in not J).
As someone who works for an airline, below wing... I would say it depends on the length of your flight and the time as well. Are you looking to get work done? Are you looking to relax and maybe take a nap? So if you are going international, besides traveling from the US to either Canada or Mexico that is, I would recommend getting getting more space... your knees will thank you. But if you are traveling from Atlanta to Indianapolis, it's not really worth it. Hope this helps.
@@davisbyer4791 do you think it’s worth the extra expense for someone like me who’s 6’3 and almost 290 lbs
Thanks for the economy class review. More please. A couple of my tips: I love to read but seldom have enough time to do so in my regular life. So, I stock up on smaller-sized paperbacks that are just for traveling. Older ones tend to fit in a purse or personal item better. I often pick fiction set in the locale I am visiting. Also, I bring a collapsible cup to reduce plastic waste. Finally, a mini fan was a real life saver on a long, warm flight without air vents over Africa. The fan plugs into my iPad. It goes on all my flights now- just in case.
We do the aisle/window strategy also. However, I haven't been on a Delta flight that wasn't full for years, except for a few during COVID. Glad it worked for you. On a few Delta planes there are rows with only two seats - due to exit row, etc. - those are our favorites when flying economy.
I like all Videos. For me, a well balanced mix between Economy and business/First is the most enjoyable
Not gonna lie I love these videos!!
I am glad to see that sitting strategy because I also use that when I am traveling with others
You guys are definitely couple goals!!
flew on my first Max yesterday on United from CLE to EWR. It was very nice! SO smooth and powerful
I like your guys economy videos and would love to see more, as I fly economy the most, and would love to see what different airlines have to offer.
Jeb & Suzanna: Another great VID. I’m using your row selection on the 737 for our upcoming Southwest Airlines flight from ABQ to IND.
Nice content, Jeb! We use the middle seat open strategy when we fly economy and it works about 1/2 the time!! Glad it worked for you. We did MCO - PDX in June on Alaska and it looked good until the last person boarded and took the seat!!
I do, too! It works for me about 1/4 the time. I hope if the middle seat is filled, it's a small person. Unfortunately, it's usually a non-rev who needs a lap belt extender.
Thank you for sharing. And I bring my books for reading when i have to fly in Economy Class.
That was so nice having that middle seat empty..
Please keep doing the economy class reviews, I love them 😁😁😁
We flew to and from Fargo North Dakota to Orlando via Allegiant on an A320. It's an absolutely beautiful aircraft. Tons of leg room, very quiet land comfy seats. Nice.
Really enjoy your content, and yes, I would be interested in other carriers main cabin economy accommodations. Specifically united and delta fir comparisons.
I'm a big reader, so I ALWAYS bring a book with me no matter where we go. While I get a lot of reading done at home, flying is my peaceful time where I can really zero in and read for long uninterrupted periods of time. Having the airline employee free travel perks, sometimes I'll just fly hub to hub on a day off with my wife to get reading in and get some local food and fly back! Great video!
@@RLTtizME because it’s what I liked to do and if you watched the video it was asked what you like to do when you fly. Not sure what the issue is. Sorry readers damaged you in some way haha
i flew american a few weeks ago and was also surprised by the corn nuts, good stuff
Jeb...Finally in Economy Class....Yes... Please do more such reviews particularly trans atlantic ones in european/Asian carriers...Thanks a lot for this one...loved it....
Would love economy videos for each airline and plane type. They’re hard to find when I’m looking for them so I think it would give you a good spot for a lot of views. Especially on long hauls.
The view is amazing 👏
Beautiful capturing ❤
I love to watch you guys travelling together. Nice strategy to take the aisle and window seat, to keep the middle seat empty👍. When I travel in Economy, I make sure that I do have enough content on my IPad to watch some Movies or Series. Water and some snacks are also on my must have list.
While I’m sure people appreciate the economy class videos, I’d agree with you Jeb in that there really isn’t much to film. Most economy trips will feel the exact same no matter what airline. The main different being in some airlines it costs extra for checked baggage and food etc. Aside from that, it’s all similar. The business and first class videos will always be more interesting and there is potential for more points of difference between airlines in those classes.
I appreciate the economy reviews - many of us can only ever fly economy, (and rarely fly at all) and your tips are helpful! But it’s also nice to see business and first class reviews, so those of us who will probably never have a chance to fly that way, can at least ‘dream’! 😊
Not that expensive to fly first class if you plan/budget for it, especially if you don’t fly often. Also, 24 hrs before you check in on the airline app, lots of times they offer an opportunity to upgrade. Many times it’s a reasonable cost.
@Thomas. Thanks for encouragement but When one’s country’s currency is worth little in the world market, ‘upgrades’ are far from reasonable. In our case our children all live overseas and so it is a case of scraping and saving and taking the very cheapest of cheap fares, just to get to visit them. The kids keep offering to help of course, but we would not expect a business class ticket! So I just watch RUclips Business and First class reviews, and continue to dream! 😊
Hello Jeb, great video. Your content is great, I enjoy your videos very much. It's good you and Suzanne were able to have the middle seat althought this was a short flight. I recently flew Delta ATL - JNB 16h economy flight and had 3 seats for me, it makes a big difference in economy long flights!
Yup
Great content!
YES more videos like this
Loved the "West Wing too"
Definitely +1 for more economy class videos (for us lowly peasant types who don't truly relate to $500+ one way tickets)
Although i appreciated an economy flight Jeb, my attraction to you and other aviation geeks on You Tube is living vicariously through you on premium flights. When I am ready to pull the trigger on those premium flights, I can feel comfortable I got the Jeb score before.
Glad to see you listening to us - far too many of you are out of touch after years of collecting miles and making lots of money on youtube - example - Wingin it.
What a great video! Economy isn't that bad. Especially on American, they have decent seats, a clean cabin, and good snacks. Overall great video Jeb and Suzanne and cya in the sky!😀🛫
Economy isn't bad, but especially on American it isn't good. Look at carriers like Delta, jetblue, or even the new united planes, they're actually trying to let you enjoy your time on the plane
Wouldn't agree with their "Osais" interiors like this one. Cramped and no AVOD. I book away from AA now after been a long time heavy traveler on them. UA is doing a much better job now.
but the only problem is that they don't have inflight entertainment screen...the passenger has to stream shows from thier mobile or tablet
Good snacks? Biscoffs and pretzels? No
hehe coincidentally i have a flight attendant interview for them this Wednesday 3/9! i promise if i ever see you on a flight, i'll always ask what brings you on board! :D keep up the great work Jeb!
Fantastic video Jeb!😸
Please make more videos like this. Economy works for many budgets and would be interesting to see.
Dear Jeb & Suzanne: The two of you are making such a great team...It is so beautiful to see how Jeb loves you; he simply adores you and Suzanne, you are so beautiful and shy; for instance when the two of you toasted with bear her eyes were so filled with tenderness and shyness towards Jeb...It is truly a blessing to see the two of you together...It is my prayer and hopes that the two of you will continue loving each other with this same tenderness and shyness to the end of time...What a beautiful couple; may G_d bless you immensely forever...
Like the economy reviews
This was great! More economy class videos, please!!!
I do appreciate both economy & business/first class videos as I do use both. To say I have a "bad back" is like saying a 747 is a bit bigger than a Cessna, seriously. I was retired with a full medical pension at 30yo & after 6 failed back surgeries including experimental surgeries & a pain pump machine inserted in the fat my stomach to pump medication to my back directly I have to travel business or first class on any flight over 2.5hrs. It makes a tremendous difference because I need to stand often & the extra recline space is much more beneficial than I woulda thought. First time I flew first class on a 4.5hr flight I had just flown in economy about 6mos prior I couldn't believe the difference it made for me. It does make international travel quite a bit more expensive for me but I couldn't do it any other way.
Great vlog as always! If there are loads of space on the flight, window seat. Full flight or there about, aisle seat. Be safe!
Jeb, thanks for sharing.
SXM is iconic not because of the airport itself but because of the beach next to it, which makes for a famous planespotting area and approach.
We want a new low cost comparison!!, avelo vs breeze vs the big boys, spirit, allegiant and frontier
Who even flies those??
@@lmd499 anyone, because it’s affordable. They usually serve small easier airports for 25% of the cost of a full service airline. Normally regional routes too, I don’t need much for a 2 hour flight I can buy my own soda and snacks
Sounds like hell
My favorite backup snack is the Jeb Brooks' Amtrack special aka almonds + prunes! A great healthy snack any time of day
Always appreciated to have converted length unit
The West Wing! Have watched that through at least 10 times. A classic. Cheers from Washington DC.
St. Maarten used to have jet bridges but that all changed after Hurricane Irma
Great video, I quite like AA's economy product. I'd love to see you take AA Flagship Business and the new British Airways Club Suite.
It doesn't really matter what you report on because I enjoy all your videos. I do prefer business/first class though because most other sites I watch feature economy. Your 1sy/b videos offer a change in pace and perspective. Mahalo from Hawai'i.
Enjoyed that
Just working my way into the 135 world at 22 years old. It’s my eventual goal to fly for American Airlines, I am hoping to bypass the regionals getting twin turbine time at my 135 job that pays close to a regional. Great video Jeb, maybe I will be your FO or Captain one day!
Might consider going to an AA-owned like Envoy or Piedmont in case they decide to move their regional lift in house
@@will9093 thanks for the information!
“West Wing”… Greatest show ever!
That view of the ships in the bay after takeoff was spectacular. Hmm, might need a trip to the Caribbean in my future. 🤔
I love seeing the economy reviews, because a good majority of your viewers I’m sure, fly economy typically.
It’s be great to see a comparison of who has the best economy flights in the US.
Nice travel report.
I love this video. I've always wanted to see the terminal of Princess Juliana Airport
Jeb as always an interesting vlog
Jeb at least they let board
My husband and I always get aisle seats across from each other. Since we both prefer the aisle it makes sense.
That's a great strategy.
When I see my comment at the beginning of the video... 🤭Great video though! I think it is helpful to have a mix of economy and first/business class flights.
I've only flown with AA twice (787 and 737 Oasis) on a hop through DFW, both in economy. Funny enough, I found their 737 Oasis seat, similar to the one in your video, more comfortable than their 787 seats. Not saying I would seek out their 737, but I would have thought their 787 seat would be more comfortable, especially since they use it for 15 hour flights. Their 737s also have huge bins; boarded near the end because I took too long to get to the gate, but they still had room for my bag.
Also, to answer the question in the end: Window seat! Unless I'm on a CRJ-200 because those windows are so low and the wall curves into my shoulder...
Hello Jeb, I’m a big fan of your channel and watch your videos every day. I would love to see what a cruise is like. Could you make a cruise review video (Any cruise line is fine)
I would like more videos like this
I love The West Wing! Good choice!!
I like the every man reviews in economy!
Window vs. aisle? Always the aisle for me. Great video Jeb but on the next trip it would be good to see a tour of St. Martin.
My economy tricks:
Always bring water specially long haul flights to avoid your throat hurting next morning
I like to bring a bar of chocolate it helps to keep you energized specially if it's a a long flight and you know you will be tired at the end.
Download Jeb Brooks videos with youtube premium to enjoy the flight.
And most important if you have long legs walk every 90 minutes to help the blood circulate. This is very important on long haul flights to avoid pain next day.
Thats what I do.
Great video and good info. Prefer economy level content. Q. You showed a iPad holder. Do you have/use one that you bring onboard and if so what is the make?
The last time I was on a really long flight without an iPad I read a Bill Bryson book. He is informative and engaging.
