We hope to see your review of the new LH A350 Business Class soon...^^
No but I would like to buy a piece of art work as an alt asset. Maybe an up and coming artist from a prestigious art academy for $3,000-$5,000 USD
1 dr. pepper a year and you go with diet lol...that's like having 1 steak per year and making it a chicken drumstick. jk jk lol just wanted to share a joke
can you PLEASE review Premium Econemy from SWISS? I wil be REALY HAPPY if i see that video! Bye!
Hey Dan! I saw your great point redemption on this flight. Did you transfer your points from American Express?
As an ex airline employee (US & UK) I think the best days of air travel have come and gone. Crowded airports and cramped planes have taken all the joy out of the experience. These days, if an airline gets you to your destination on time its considered a success.
I’ve been flying for over 30 years - much of it business class. Not once has my perceived quality of life gone above the level of “this is such a crap way to spend my time”.
I’d literally rather be doing anything other than the airport security circus, the cramped flight, the crap food, the never-ending waiting around, the never-ending queues, etc...
@@despoticmusic business class food can actually be delicious though.
I grew up in pan am so I agree with you
@@dereklwashington1132 I so wish Pan Am had not gone under. It has a place in my heart as the first airline I ever flew on. I still have the amenities bag from that flight in original Pan Am blue colors.
But flying is so much cheaper these days (maybe not recently recently due to inflation) but so much than back then. I’d rather have more people being able to fly for cheaper than it being a luxury.
If that was first class, I'd hate to see economy
I reviewed it a few years back lol!
ditto!!!!!
ehereareyhe Dc10's
I’m a big girl and the AA economy seats were super small. So uncomfortable.
It’s a horrific experience, try to avoid!
Might I just say: Your videos have always been awesome, but nowadays it's extremely obvious just how much effort, creativity, and hard work you put into every video. Watching you grow over the years has been amazing too. Keep doing what you do.
Thank you so much! Your kind words mean a lot to me😊
That airport looked so chaotic ...As you said the views outside the window was breath taking.... Awesome video Dan
Lol, Been there, done that many times. It's just traffic and there's staff there to help move things along if needed.
If it was 'chaotic' he wouldn't have gone through in minutes, priority or otherwise. Done that too.
I totally agree with the underfilled economy class comment. I usually wait to upgrade, especially for a non-long haul flight. I dislike AA so much I haven’t flown them in about 15 years.
AA is categorically AAtrocious! Also, as far as I'm concerned, when I'm flying in First or Biz, I think Wi-Fi should be included. It would be very simple for them to provide per flight log in for the customers up front!
But American have their reasons to not put in-flight entertainment in the 737, it’s not just as profitable
Yeah, AA is easily the worst non-LCC airline in the US imo, and it’s not even that close
Hey….I am your newest subscriber…it’s my birthday today…I was feeling extremely lonely and then randomly I saw your videos on RUclips and I never stopped. They gave me sense of comfort and it felt like I am not alone anymore. Thank you so much…I was so depressed and you helped me out…keep doing what you do thank you so much you saved me.❤️❤️
Nice video, as always! Your videos inspire me. I want to travel the world just like you when I am older and have more time!
Flew on the AA MAX in economy a couple months ago. The cabin is nice however I didn't notice much of a difference in the window size compared to the NG. The flight quality is noticeably different compared to its predecessor tho. It's a lot smoother, if that makes sense.
It's also deep noise smoother aswell when crashes LOL 😆

Great video Dan!
‘The Abyss’ 😆. Thanks for another informative video, you have some of my favourite aviation ones
Yes, it really is that bad. I had the misfortune to sit in coach on a MAX last year. Never again! I am 5’6” and 155 lbs, and cannot figure out how normal people can fit.
Thank goodness I am a much shorter fellow...
Dude. I’m 6’0” and 185lbs and I fit perfectly in their basic economy seat no problem for a 3.5 hour flight.
@@Camerenreynolds I agree with you, the seats are perfect sized.
It’s not just about the seats, elbow room is a huge factor. The a320 seats are a bit wider thus offering better elbow room.
@@Camerenreynolds Idk how. I’m 5’10” and I always feel like my legs are crammed in. If the flight is more than like 2 hours my lower back is screaming in pain
Awesome tour! So inresting! Thanks for sharing! Have a great day my friend
Great video Dan
I had one of my very best flights on this jet. I was flying from KMIA to Bonaire and it was less than 40% capcity full. I bassically had the whole aircraft to myself to do my trip report/.
Was your flight itinerary really labeled First class? Just curious, as I just booked a similar route on an AA max (JFK-PUJ), a route compared to your trip, but my ticket is labeled Business and not First. Thanks!
American Airlines sells the same seat as First Class on domestic routes and Business Class on international flights ;)
Same seat sold but depends if ur domestic or international.
He sat in business
Have fun in PUJ!
Awesome job dan
Thanks for your video! I'm flying in 4F in the 737 max in a week and was looking to see how it looks like!
Nice video my friend! ✈️
6' 198 lbs. No complaints here Love WN's MAXs. Super quiet, clean, comfy. Love the MAX. Have not flown on an AA MAX yet.
Love love love your reviews mate. Funny!!! The food review - I peed myself a little from laughter 🤣
Thanks a lot for the video
Hot take: I found AA's Oasis'd 737 economy seats more comfortable than their 787 economy seats.
Which I think says more about AA's seats in general than Oasis being not that bad.
Wow guess I need to try their 787 hehe😅
I was on an A321 with the Oasis cabin (and I think an A320? I’m not too sure) and it wasn’t terrible. The seat wasn’t terribly cushioned, and after a few 4 hours flights my body was really feeling it, and compared to an A320 on one of my connections, which I believe came from US Airways and had not been updated yet, was a lot less comfortable. The seat was large enough, but the oasis cabin really does lack comfort in the seat itself.
Love ur vids ♥️
Reminds me of Delta. Just got back, and their first class didn’t look/feel first class. It’s just a bit wider seats and they offer you some snacks. For the amount they charge, you’d think they’d do better.
I flew Jet Blue for the first time and was super impressed. I hope they dont change a thing about their planes and services.
As someone who knows a perosn at JetBlue They only are going to keep there current aircraft and stick with them!
Flown on Jet Blue and American. Jet Blue comfortable, friendly aircrew. American seats a little tight, cabin crew played with cell phones in back of plane just about entire flight LAX-JFK.
I have heard that about Jet Blue as well from other people.
Jet Blue is my favorite!
💖 JetBlue
You're on point here Dan. Nice work cutie, top form! 🙌😊
The views flying over The Bahamas are gorgeous 😍
This is the exact flight from Manifest (Montego Bay-New York) Bye Dan, see u in 5.5 years!!!
New to your channel. Only 1:30 in and you are so right. Coming back from Fairbanks AK to NYCI chose first class on delta. My reasoning is I wanted to lay down and sleep since It was a long journey and I was missing a night in my hotel to be at the airport. The experience was ok, food was delicious, I didn't get my Tumi travel case and for the upgrade price, I expected an overwhelming experience. I gave feedback to Delta and they reimbursed me the miles I used to upgrade.
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing...
I just subscribed your channel . I really enjoy watching your video . This is the first time i am commenting on any video ever . You are super awesome with the way you describe each and everything in detail. 😊
Interesting review. I understood that AA, when taking a 737 order (at least for NGs) they stripped the interior from the factory and put in their own. Not sure if they still do that. For that reason, the seat pitch in economy class was one of the worst if not THE worst in the segment. The sky interior is VERY nice and the redone overhead bins compared to the older NGs were designed to provide more cabin room and the latches have the ability to be lifted from below or pulled from above (kind of like a rocker lever).
hahahahah....radioactive frittata. I love it. Thanks, Dan.
Hi Dan !! From Jamaica :)
Nice content! Those Caribbean views
They make biscoff cookie spread and that stuff is DEADLY and so good!!!
Hi Dan!!
I have flown the Max twice this year and had no issues. The economy plus seating was not bad.
As you mentioned that’s better than what european airlines call “business” in europe. It looks like it’s almost the same as W on long haul flights. I hope airlines in America don’t cheap out that much.
I always enjoy your videos:)
Thank youuu😊
Recently discovered your videos and I love them. While most of my flights have been on the United 787-9, the 737 max is truly a really nice plane
Nothing beats the A350.. I feel like the 787 was a good plane only for operators… due to fuel efficiency. Nothing really novel added for passengers with the intro of the 787.. and those dimming windows (rather than window shades) are a gimmicky disaster
@@dawsonje I also really enjoyed flying 14 hrs on Qatar A350 a few years ago. Excellent plane, quiet and comfortable. I have also flown the same distance on a United Boeing 787 and really hated those dimming windows.
@@dawsonje excuse me, there are a lot of people who love the 787 and is window, much more than the normal one on the 350. It is an excellent, modern, and quiet plane. The main reason for why it have been not that good in economy class is because as you say " efficiency". Yes, as adding more seat, the airline can make plane more profitable. The 787 was make for 2-4-2 on long haul economy to make it very comfy. Even there are there are even a350 with sardine boxes having 17 width and very little legron. And some have it in 3-4-3 configuration like Frechbee. So yes, it depends on the airline
So this it what "Chills" looks like.
Nice video my friend ✈️
Just SUB’d…YAY!!! Great Review of the MAX 👌
3:39 I like the way it's coke for the background in American rather than flowers in Singapore airlines.
I love the Biscoff with coffee on AA.
So I've been obsessed with airplanes from as long as I can remember and I love watching reviews specially about first class and business class . It's my dream to fly first class one day loool .. specially in Qatar that's my favourite airline and the food in Qatar ? Just Wow 🌝 . A few weeks ago I came across 1 of your videos and I instantly hit subscribe . I'm not the type to really subscribe to people I just give the video a like and that's about that . But I find your videos so soothing and entertaining . Like it's my free therapy 😂 I love watching your videos while eating it's like Netflix to me . I think you were taking your mom to Maldives and you mentioned how you like Qatar so much and I was like I should watch his other videos and I sat and watched like 5 💀 idk I just get great vibes from you . Keep it up 🤗
have to totally agree with what you said with the windows the MAX vs NEO is great. Flown both these year. Also totally agree that they windows are big enough for the middle seat to see. Also always love a sky interior
Loved this video! I can’t wait to fly the american carriers!
Everyone hates on them but they are actually good. Definitely not the worlds best, but good for your money.
I flew on an American Airlines 737 max from Las Vegas to Washington DC about a month ago. While I purchased a first class ticket I think that on most American carriers they are transitioning away from the designation “first“ and using “business” instead. The food, as with your experience, was unremarkable. There is a huge distinction between the food service on a domestic flight versus international. The flight was comfortable and quick with no issues and the cabin crew upfront was attentive and helpful.
20 seconds in: Love the premise of the video. Okay, back to the video!
@Nonstop Dan Could you do an update video on your credit cards and which one do you use the most. Also some recommendations. Thank you!
Nice flight report.
I think the best airline I’ve flown own is delta. I’ve only traveled North America and haven’t done any transatlantic.
Nice video
7:39 delta has better now off cookies cause it says delta on it, not just lotus, like any regular biscoff.
It’s even more tragic for those of us who remember the US Airlines from the 60s and 70s
Remember TWA's ambassador service?
@@jamiecloud1897 Yes I do! Those were the days.
People uses to dress up, it was an event. Last time we flew we had to sit spread all over the cabin. My 20yo daughter ended up in a middle seat with a guy to her left who smelled like a Yak in heat, and a woman to the right who slept and farted the entire flight. And in the overhead bin there was a 3 foot Chuckie doll.
Flying was so much more expensive and dangerous back then.
hi Dan!
I find the 737 a loud uncomfortable ride. Then coupled with American cattle packing, as well as long boarding and inboarding...I try avoiding them.
The fact that he slides a sponsor so smoothly amazes me
The Max is a great plane to fly in, I really enjoyed my flight to Chicago from SF and it was fast and comfortable...
incorrect
Ikr. It’s not that bad
@@Camerenreynolds what isn't?
@@mikegrabowski7483 Correct* I flew on the MAX on Alaska and United. Great experience, I enjoyed it
@@JackJohnson3119 there is nothing enjoyable about flying on the Max. It's just another 737
July 2001: i had a flight going from JFK to El Salvador (SAL) with a plane change in Miami. Technically this was a domestic flight for all intents and purposes, but because my trip was a one way to an international destination, American Airlines MADE ME buy a full roundtrip tkt JFK-SAL-JFK because they wouldnt allow me to buy a one way as an american citizen. I had a little bit over $1000 on me in cash, and my ticket (the ones they MADE ME buy ended up costing $923. Needless to say, I was OUTRAGED. But of course, 20 yr old me w no experience in traveling and nobody to help me, ended up depleting a year's worth of savings in a ticket I wasnt going to use cause I was traveling BACK HOME (I had been in NY for 2 yrs working and saving money to go back to college). This incident happened a little bit over 7 weeks before 9/11, so I was still able to file a claim and make them reimburse me. It took 4 months, but they did and in December of 2001 I finally got my money back after fighting with them every single week up to October of that year. I VOWED, to NEVER IN MY LIFE set foot on an AA airplane again and till this day, I've kept my promise. I am NEVER paying a dime for an AA flight and even if for business, I rather DRIVE if possible or take a damn train, but I will NEVER give my hard earned money to those VULTURES. I hate AA and by God I wish nobody would need to fly w them every again 🙄
Dan, how do you geta round the fuel surcharge and carrier charges with your points?
Should I use the points to upgrade a flight, or fly internally in the USA?
That's cool, though. I've got two upcoming trip reports on AA 737's and who knows, I might also get a MAX!
- Red
Off to the UK from 🇦🇺 in 2 days. 21 hours in the air. So interested in the differences now from 2.5 years ago. All positive though. We saved and paid for comfy seats. Enjoy your honest vids. Do love Aus’s main carrier. ✈️
You need to try the new delta one
Thank you for providing this flight review. I don't know if it will be the same on the Airbus A321 because I am about to go on American Airlines on their A321 for a flight ;D
Nice video ! Come to Sarajevo airport !!!
Hey dan❤️
The B737 Max cabin does look good. My problem with it, as a frequent economy traveller, and with my 187 cm (6ft 2) rugby build, is that the economy seats are simply too narrow. On a full flight, it's a constant battle with my neighbour for elbow room, and sitting at the window my other elbow is wedged against the sidewall. Welcome to a few hours of misery! So I actively avoid all B737s and will always choose an A320 flight for the extra comfort of its wider seats. A full A320 is no hardship at all.
At least it ain't Spirits A320 trust me when I say you will rather American Airlines over Spirit.
It's the airlines not the plane Boeing puts in the amount of seats the airlines want.
@@andrewlarson7895 Nothing to do with the airlines. The B737 is narrower than the A320. The widest seat the B737 can take is 17 inches, while the A320 fits 18 inch wide seats together with a wider aisle. The airlines decide on the pitch (amount of legroom) but cannot fit wider seats on a B737 as there simply is no space
@@patrickb827oh ok
@@patrickb827 actually, there are some airlines that have 18 of width on the 737 including the max like Air Canada. You can investigate about that. Also 18 from 17 in my opinion is not a big change, even more if you are big person ( 1: is not that I am fat, 2: even there are some business classes that are narrow). So yes, is no imposible if the airline try is best for each customers( which oc curse, is rare to see that). Also, I wonder is 737 which 2-3 would look like 🤔? Expecially the 737 max 7?
I've flown on the MAX before. I was worried, but it was surprisingly comfortable, IF YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AIRLINE
Dan, just flew Alaska Air and loved the tablet holder vs a built in screen. An iPad let’s you bring your own content and now you don’t have to place it on the tray table wasting all that real estate. An iPad has much better screen resolution and you can use your own wireless headphones.
I agree. I preferer American's 737 cabin over the A321 Neo. As an Avgeek, I love the bigger windows on the 737 too.
Dan will you ever try Breeze Airways? I know their product is a bargain one and an exclusively American one, so not your usual content, but would love to hear your thoughts on their affordable offerings!
Another really cool video. I really do wish US airlines would step it up like the big international airlines. Can’t wait for the next video.
Thank you for alway taking us with you as I’m 45 this year and haven’t ever had a passport and now if I wanted to I would always have to have a seat that lies flat due to ill health tbh I can’t ever imagine me getting down an aisle to my seat as ima very large lady so thank you the views are beautiful amazing
I was gifted with a wide frame even for my six foot nothing stature. Never did fit well in economy and now that I am older and broader I dread the day I have to fly again.
Interesting experience with American. Thanks 🙂
Lovely
Which of AAdvantage’s cards is the best deal? I believe we have the Citi Gold card, but are looking to perhaps swap over to a different one. Which is best?
Biscoff is so good 😊
You are very sympathetic :)
Dan's videos are theraputic
"So you can enjoy your travels to the Max." 😂
I will be having surgery and flying on this plane shortly, which seat would you say is best on first class? My flight is almost 4hrs long and I want to make sure I choose the best seat possible for comfort.
“the abyss” lol
Interesting. I took a flight last spring, DCA-DFW where the free streaming service was not working.
it was the 1 dr pepper a year for me 🔥 lol i wish i had that kinda self control lol
I love it when my plane has the abyss inside of it
Flew Lufthansa a few years back in “business” from Dulles to Venice. Dulles to Frankfurt upstairs on a 747 was amazing but the “business” from there to Venice was a joke. It was essentially a coach-like section of 3 seats on each side with the middle seat blocked off and they called it “business class”.
That's buisness class in "domestic" European flights
Just flew business/1st class this week twice with 737-MAX. I enjoyed as both were relatively short (2.5-3h). Food was bad, but seat had good size for me (enough to stretch my legs - and Im 6 ft 2in) That was worthy the price for me. Flight entertainement is via their wifi on the phone but I always have my own.
I used Avíos miles last year for an ORD-PBI first class r/t on a MAX (same Oasis crap seating). I’m tall and was appalled by the tight pitch. Usually fly UA and their FC is 10 times better!
how safe are the Avionics
Looks fine to me
Bro that shot is epic 9:40
Nice
Have not travelled since Spring 2019 for known reasons. I have never looked at the airplane choice, just price and timing from my home airport (transit is much cheaper than taxi). Am I unusual in not making a choice of airplane comfort? I have never upgraded from coach.
Hey Nonstop Dan, you should try COPA airlines new business on the 737 MAX. One of the only seats that become flat beds on a narrow body! COPA is a Panamanian airline that flies all over america and it's a partner of Star Alliance. I'm sure you will be amazed by your experience! 😃
La mejor de América
