    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.

  • @timkono5645

    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).

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 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.

      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.

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.

    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 🙄

    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”.

    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.
