I have been in United Lounge in Newark and Las Vegas. The lounge is a nicer feeling on the outbound flight than the return. Best Oatmeal I ever tasted.
I don't know whether all of the negative comments are from paid shills or if they're just haters but I thought the flight and the service was very nicely done. I've watched many videos and read alot of Skytrax reviews for carriers from all over the world including many of the Asian and Middle Eastern carriers and this service is certainly on par with many of those other carriers videos and reviews. Negative people tend to have much disdain for positive people so I'm sure I'll get an earful. Thanks again for the video!
I am surprised! American has improved a lot! The suite and the bedding appeared to be top notch. The menu was varied and offered good choices, the wine list not exceptional but ok. They are certainly a better choice than BA these days.
Love to see the Sprite can instead of a glass of champagne. I don't know why, but it's oddly satisfying in the Flagship First lounge to see that. Great video (as always.) Cheers!
We have all been taught somewhere along the way that the rich are different from the rest of us pond scum. The realty is that the rich are much like us. Might choose the Maxda over the Maserati. The Sprite over the champagne. Much comes from the compartmentalizing of our political system. Rich are evil. Poor are good. Both simplistic and very wrong and dividing but it gets votes. Who cares what it does to America as a Nation and our social relationships. So what if everyone hates everyone else if it gets me elected. Sad. And we buy into such political trickery all the time. Yet, it seldom benefits us after an election. Just the politician spouting the BS.
Nice video. I remember, I had went on American Airlines for a trip to Europe, and the TV was missing the entertainment category. I was pretty upset, but I found a way to have fun.
Very nice video man. I remember traveling to London in the late 1990`s using the three class A300-605ER. Magnificent video . I hope you enjoyed the new 777WER flagship.
He means domestic as in American. This is a domestic first class because it is operated by a domestic airline. But the flight is obviously international.

I liked it! Did you see James Asquith's recent review of Flagship First Class? James uploads a funny aviation video on his YT channel. He has a world record as well.
Was on this flight in the Fall of 2016. I don't know what anyone could want more. My only complaint is that the dessert choices are not the greatest. However, as for comfort and service, A A does a first class job.
There is also a price difference, right now a RT first class ticket from Los Angeles to Hong Kong on AA is $6000, the same class and route on Cathey Pacific is $15,000, but with CP you get caviar and better quality pajamas.
Thanks for the video. The "Flagship" lounge looks cheap but that's no surprise. Fairly standard first class product. Value for money would depend of course on what price you're paying.
i love this plane...it lands like a giant leaf...defying gravity and coming in flat without the shrieking airbraking of lesser jets. This plane has a distinctive whine which identifies it at once. Glad to note that it disappears in flight!
Hi! We're gonna be using American Airlines for our trip to the Philippines. If you could probably show us the economy class that would be great! Great video! :)
Well if AA was a state run carrier flush with oil revenue from a small nation then it would be as fantastic as Emirates, Qatar, Etihad etc etc etc. But AA fights hard for what it can afford and stay in business.
Wow, I shouldn't have watched the Virgin, Singapore Airlines, BA, Air France, KLM videos first. This is really sad. I'm scared to watch Air Canada's now. Probably a lawn-chair and some microwaved Kraft Dinner.
I have to say, it actually looks very interesting and original! Sure, the Gulf liners have very lavish first class, but considering value for money, its pretty good. This new first class in American stands to compete and beat many of its European/American competitors.
I guess we're supposed to compare this first class with coach, which of what most of us are used to. If you've traveled the world like that, that's wonderful!
+kerimcan bowden Thx! My next trips will be: - British Airways B787-9 First Class - Emirates A380 First Class - Japan Airlines B77W Business Class - Air Tahiti Nui A430 Business Class - Iberia A330 Business Class - British airways A380 First Class - Cathay Pacific B777-300ER First Class After that, I will consider Turkish Airlines :). Heard great things about them indeed.
Great review, thank you for filming it. One of the reasons i avoid flying US based airlines is lounges. So overcrowded, people are on top of each other, food selection is horrible (look at middle eastern and Asian carriers please!). American call those narrow seats a flagship? Touch screens seem to have the same issue with either when you don’t touch them hard enough or you’re going too crazy when it scrolls and can’t stop in time.
I'm with you, in fact I'd be just as happy with a sarnie, some crisps and a Kitkat! Only reason to pay extra is for the seat imho, they can keep the rest of it.
Why has AA 1st class got so expensive now? I now fly BA from LAX to LHR, a partner airline btw, because its so much cheaper!! The BA lounge at T5 is much better, better facilities, better food, better everything and you feel 1st class at BA. AA you get 3/4 drinks and thats about it.
I have been in United Lounge in Newark and Las Vegas. The lounge is a nicer feeling on the outbound flight than the return. Best Oatmeal I ever tasted.
I miss the look of the AA Silver Birds. Not that the new livery is ugly, but I miss that shine of the polished metal.
If they keep the AA Silver Birds, at least bring back US Airways. I really miss them too. Not AA. I hate AA. I miss US Airways.
same

Thx, Scott, for your great and positive comment :-)
Scott Brett • I so agree with you! The word that first comes to mind is 'jealousy.'
I agree, what's with all the negativity? This looked like an enjoyable flight.
jealousy because of the caviar and vintage champagne?????
I am surprised! American has improved a lot! The suite and the bedding appeared to be top notch. The menu was varied and offered good choices, the wine list not exceptional but ok. They are certainly a better choice than BA these days.
You're videos do much more than making me happy. They inspire. Thank you 😊

I love the desk facing the window concept. Feels very airforceoneish and looks like a great functional first class.
Nice presentation and beautiful accommodations makes me wanna stay on the flight forever ✈

YES :) I'm enjoying the hotel reviews, but still I think everybody knows you, as the flight reporter dude.
I agree👍
Love American Airlines!
Yep.
First class AA is way cheaper than Asian airlines. And it a good product, thats why a fly AA.
I agree. Do you really want to pay $30K on Emirates? I don't think so.
Yes, Heathrow is a busy international airport. Early morning international flights coming in I have experienced as well..The trip looks very nice...
Nice video. I remember, I had went on American Airlines for a trip to Europe, and the TV was missing the entertainment category. I was pretty upset, but I found a way to have fun.
Great review for a great plane. Flying on the 777 is bliss.
Very nice...yes, the First Class Cabin is nice as well as the Business Class when traveling in the long trips...Very nice....
That was awesome! I can not wait to go with my mum in June. Thank you for the video.
"the flight to london ONLY takes 6 hours". I guess after so much flying you start redifining what "only" means. great video. thanks for sharing.
+Johnny Valencia :-) thx
NY to london is a quicker flight than NY to LAX
One of the most impressive cabins and service I've seen from a domestic carrier in a very long time.
American Airlines is amazing!! Great vid!!
Very nice video man. I remember traveling to London in the late 1990`s using the three class A300-605ER. Magnificent video . I hope you enjoyed the new 777WER flagship.
Good Job mate, keep up the good work. Another great video. I am your huge fan. :)
+Michael Tsang thx
Always awesome 👏
all of your videos are the best I have seen
Thank you, Shaan
you're welcome my friend
Best domestic first class I have seen so far, but I see the usual, "Emirates, Asian Airlines" fanboys are here.
It is not domestic.
+kamichi83 yes it is
So, you are telling me that JFK to LHR is a domestic flight. Get real!!!
+Kinopanorama Widescreen Preservation Association Incorporated my bad i read the title wrong. 😅😅 I'll man up and admit when I'm wrong
He means domestic as in American. This is a domestic first class because it is operated by a domestic airline. But the flight is obviously international.
excellent report!
Awesome Review, always look forward to them. I am a huge fan !!!
+Marlon Andres Tabora Thank you, Marlon :)
Awesome review mate...
Your reviews have their own style Don't change it
+Subhan Ahmed Thank you, I won't change the style anytime soon
This is wild. LOL James Asquith should make a review on this. :)
All these vids are awesome! Keep it up!
+Logitech_ | Henry thank you!
Also may i ask how you afford this? Do you save up, do you use miles?
+Logitech_ | Henry When I fly Business or First, I mostly use miles. You can follow my blog for tips for luxury travel on a budget: theluxurytravelexpert.com/
I especially like the swiveling seat!
Epic vid as always
Another excellent and very detailed report. Many thanks! :)
+Strahinja Jovanovic you're welcome :)
I like the rotating seat, makes for a nice little office in the sky :)
+The Flying Penguin I agree, American Airlines is the only airline to offer a seat of this kind
This is the one reason that I want to try this class with AA.
Also if you are sitting D&G seats you can turn the seats to face each other and dine with your companion, the only airline that allows this.
Great video. Thanks for posting.
+Wayne Harris you're welcome :-)
wow so genius I don't know how to respond to that; all I can see is a380. Well done.
thank you ... but where do you see an A380 in the clip? :)
I liked it!
Did you see James Asquith's recent review of Flagship First Class? James uploads a funny aviation video on his YT channel. He has a world record as well.
Great video ✈️✈️✈️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Brilliantly done!
+Johner787 thx :-)
How old are you? And keep up the great work you do it really inspires!
+Znipe^ I am 40 years old. Thx for the kind comment!

Great video! My dad is a doctor too!
That's first class eh? No wonder the Arabic and Asian airlines are winning all the awards...
True
it is pretty good actually
Yah, I flew it from DFW-HKG, I wrote review on it. It can definitely compete with BA
There is also a price difference, right now a RT first class ticket from Los Angeles to Hong Kong on AA is $6000, the same class and route on Cathey Pacific is $15,000, but with CP you get caviar and better quality pajamas.

always epic! im the 136th btw😊
Very nice. AA has come a very long way and in 5 years and finally has a great product that's better than the European carriers.
I agree!
nice vid :)
+Carolina Guile thank you
It still sucks for us who can't afford flying first class, business class and premium economy
wow i really Adore this first class seat :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Wow great food
i love this plane...it lands like a giant leaf...defying gravity and coming in flat without the shrieking airbraking of lesser jets. This plane has a distinctive whine which identifies it at once. Glad to note that it disappears in flight!
your videos are nice I watch to see which airline I should choose when flying thanks
okay how many times does the f/a need to inform the pax that this is AA100
Very very Good!!!!
>Basic Imovie project
>Royalty free music
>Im gonna kms
lol woman on TV at 2:44 looks like she's had her teeth painted luminous.
Hi! We're gonna be using American Airlines for our trip to the Philippines. If you could probably show us the economy class that would be great! Great video! :)
+Mona S. Hi Mona, thank you for your kind message. Enjoy the Philippines!
Well if AA was a state run carrier flush with oil revenue from a small nation then it would be as fantastic as Emirates, Qatar, Etihad etc etc etc. But AA fights hard for what it can afford and stay in business.
And Singapore Airlines? Qantas? Cathay? What about them?
nothing like QANTAS! 10 times better.
Wow, I shouldn't have watched the Virgin, Singapore Airlines, BA, Air France, KLM videos first. This is really sad.
I'm scared to watch Air Canada's now. Probably a lawn-chair and some microwaved Kraft Dinner.
I have to say, it actually looks very interesting and original! Sure, the Gulf liners have very lavish first class, but considering value for money, its pretty good. This new first class in American stands to compete and beat many of its European/American competitors.
Quality of this first class is below average, Air France,Emirates,Gulf air are far far good
I guess we're supposed to compare this first class with coach, which of what most of us are used to.
If you've traveled the world like that, that's wonderful!
Price. AA is way cheaper.
I have a question what is your job because I want to be like you when I grow up?
***** What about all the other airlines he rides, because not all airlines are connected i'm pretty sure.
+GalacticHero I suppose the only reason someone would needing to fly as much as him would be for business reasons not related to the airline
He's a farmer
In the Manhattan Skyline there was The One World Trade Center and The Empire State Building
Thanks 😇👌
Looks fantastic but the cost of that one ticket could knock off a serious part of my mortgage so I'll pass.
How much does first class usually cost?
+Derrick Collins I paid a Business Class ticket and used one of my AAdvantage systemwide upgrades for an upgrade
+the Luxury Travel Expert that is very smart, do you always do that? Or are you just buying the first class ticket?
Ricardo Ramirez I want to get the Citi AAdvantage Executive World Elite card that offers Admiral Lounge access in addition to other perks via AA.
2:51 you are not supposed to open the tray table like that, you are supposed to push the table button to release the cover
Thank you Luxury Travel Expert you are a ah um was saying thank you
I have never flown first class over seas, do you get to keep all the swag to include the headphones.
Very good video! Thank you!
This flight AA 100?
+Vladimir Melnikov Yes, this is flight AA100
also nice editing
love your vids please fly with turkish airlines 777-300 you would love it there lunch choice is more too
+kerimcan bowden Thx! My next trips will be:
- British Airways B787-9 First Class
- Emirates A380 First Class
- Japan Airlines B77W Business Class
- Air Tahiti Nui A430 Business Class
- Iberia A330 Business Class
- British airways A380 First Class
- Cathay Pacific B777-300ER First Class
After that, I will consider Turkish Airlines :). Heard great things about them indeed.
Nice
These are great videos but could u maybe include the price of flights etc
American Airlines is my best airlines they should give headphones on the flight at economy class
Great review, thank you for filming it. One of the reasons i avoid flying US based airlines is lounges. So overcrowded, people are on top of each other, food selection is horrible (look at middle eastern and Asian carriers please!). American call those narrow seats a flagship? Touch screens seem to have the same issue with either when you don’t touch them hard enough or you’re going too crazy when it scrolls and can’t stop in time.
please do a review of Indian 5 star hotels and airlines as well
I prefer the morning departure on this route. Get into London have dinner go to bed. The flight is too short to get much sleep on the way over
I hate it when airlines go ridiculously fancy on food. I just want a burger with a coke lol or a waffle
yeah stick with your easy lazy shitty unhealthy low quality american food you are used to lol
I'm with you, in fact I'd be just as happy with a sarnie, some crisps and a Kitkat! Only reason to pay extra is for the seat imho, they can keep the rest of it.
i go for caviar and vintage champagne maybe a Little bit of foie gras
I usually just want soup or something light, I'm not used to eating so much in one go, so I just have the entree and the dessert
I dont
If the flight took off at JFK at night, should you arrive in London during the day?
we took off in the early evening, so arrived in London the next morning
YOU HAVE TO TRY THE AIR NEW ZEALAND FIRST CLASS OMG :)
It's business class
The entertainment screens looks so small for a first class cabin.
when youre there its pretty good but hard to see the screen when you lay back
I might fly First Class on American Airlines if my grandma comes cause she is rich!
Might as well fly JetBlue or delta...
I took this flight w my,parents but the reverse, LHR-JFK, and I sat in the seat to your right
When I get my Union Pacific Airline going...
It's me if you see a 747 with the UPA logo Union Pacific Airlines
Can you keep all those Amenity kits? Lovely video's though!
Yes, you can keep them all
Cool
I like American so much......
Great video! Horrible Airline though. I flew through them and it was the worse airplane, service and airline i've ever flown in. Love the videos btw!
+Fran437 Thx for your kind comment! You should try to fly one of their newer planes (such as the B777-300ER), they really offer a nice experience.
Yea unfortunately i got the old US airways planes so no in-flight entertainment, no power plug. wasnt so much the planes but more the service.
very nice but it looks more like business class
What about the Arrival Lounge in London? Any video of that?
No, perhaps next time :)
this guys rich af :D
So, that's where Hector Adler ended up.
Why has AA 1st class got so expensive now? I now fly BA from LAX to LHR, a partner airline btw, because its so much cheaper!! The BA lounge at T5 is much better, better facilities, better food, better everything and you feel 1st class at BA. AA you get 3/4 drinks and thats about it.
which is a better airline to fly overseas united delta or american
American, as long as you fly on one of their newer planes (B777 or B787).
What editing program do you use?
+Zandri Schnetler Imovies
This first class seat's lack of privacy leaves a lot to be desired. I prefer taking AA 777 J over F.
They call that First Class , I will pass on it.
like they over book and say sorry your not getting on this flight
why does no one ever tell you what these seats cost. ive watched loads but havent a clue on the cost.
Does anyone else fly as a non-revenue passenger, or am I the only one?
I do to
+TheMusicboy316 Here's number 3 nonrev, Business First lucky dog !!
