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...
@@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.
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.
Hey….I am your newest subscriber…it’s my birthday today…I was feeling extremely lonely and then randomly I saw your videos on TH-cam 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.❤️❤️
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
@@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
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
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.
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.
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).
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 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 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/.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 🙄
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. 😊
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.
@@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
@@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?
Have not flew AA for 15 years. i just flew AA Newark to Portland, first/business class. Flight attendant was amazing and flight was without a hitch, on time, decent meal and great service...mine was not a max
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 🤗
Stopped flying AA in 1997...gave up my frequent flyer miles...only fly with Delta since and in a pinch Jet Blue because of a family member who is an executive with Jet blue.
I'm 6'8". The new "Oasis" planes with AA are AWFUL. I break my neck everytime I try to use the restroom and usually urinate on myself. Plus my knees are bruised and numb during and after every flight

Oh wow - I didn’t realise that American always upgrade people to fill the premium cabins. I find that very strange - I just flew business with ANA from Heathrow to Tokyo, and absolutely LOVED the fact there was only two of us in the cabin!
As a frequent traveler myself, and airline pilot, I will avoid 737s at all costs. If you are larger than the average ten year old, that thing is a tight squeeze. I am 5' 8" and 174 pounds (173cm and 79kg), so one inch shorter and 24.9 pounds lighter than the average American man, and I find the 737 extremely uncomfortable. Give me an Airbus or Embraer any day. Also, a frequent flier who does not have a few movies downloaded on to their mobile device is an extremely poor planner, as many airplanes are now being delivered without IFE, and the wifi/streaming systems can be hit or miss.
Airline bathrooms need an upgrade. They should be bigger and provide more head space. However, have a sneaky feeling the size is kept purposefully cramped to discourage any lingering, and certainly discourage mile high adventures. 😉
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!
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.
I fly all the time on a 737 max / 9 from Honolulu to Cali and I don’t have any issues. I’m 6ft 235lbs and usually am pretty comfortable. Now I’ve only flown with southwest and their 737 so not sure of other airlines.
Have you heard of the 'banned nuts' trick? On a couple of US Airlines an announcement is made saying there is somebody with a nut allergy on board...so all passengers are banned from eating nuts of any sort. I'll try to be careful next time I get on a train, bus, appear in public etc., in case of my allergic personality....lol ;-)
Does anyone have advise for getting a partial refund from AA when they cancelled my flight 10 hours before and rebooked for the following day, thus cutting my vacation by 1 day. Plus, they did not have my first class seat available and I had to sit in economy. I tried the website but it said I was not eligible despite being told at the gate they would help me out on the website. I called and was told twice that they couldn't help me, I had to go through the site. Finally got the form for customer relations. Have not heard back from them. Has anyone ever been in this situation? BTW I, too, had back issues from the seat coming home. Glad to know it wasn't just me.
I would call the airline and when you finally get a representative, ask to speak to a supervisor. You may get the answer you need by talking to someone who has a little bit more pull than the average phone representative.
My sister recently flew 1st class with American Airlines from John F. Kennedy to Jamaica recently and her flight had engine trouble which caused them to turn around, land and wasted a few of her hours. When I compare what you are saying to what I experienced flying with Emirates and with Asiana I am absolutely disgusted.
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. ✈️
My one way flight PHL to LAX was $25 for wifi. Weigh your options carefully as depending where you are flying and how often, it's worth it to do the monthly and then cancel the subscription.
For Malaysian airlines… the points have been devaluated SOOOO much that we sometimes need 250,000 (depending on season based on AI) to fly from Kuala Lumpur to Melbourne…?? I am a Platinum for years but wish someone would let us know which One world to for … instead of MH …align into account of local flights which is either MH or AK….. horrendous.
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! 😃
Recently flew the AA 737 Max from Miami Int to SFO in Economy while on holiday in the US. ‘Twas a 6.5 hour flight and little did my parents & I know there would be no food which was quite disappointing. And the seat wasn’t to comfortable either. My back was not good when I got off. Ate lots of Biscoff & Pretzels ofc! 🙃
Why the surprise about no food? There hasn't been any meal service in coach U.S. Airlines since 9/11. (Food for sale, yes. Old fashioned hot meal, been over 20 years.)
@@photographybyrovin8769 oh man.. where to start! Honestly it’s too much for this post. Just do some research on the issues going on in SF these days, it’s truly a tragedy and shame
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?
I feel like United's new-ish fake first class seat is also less comfortable than the older version, the old recliners are softer and easier to sleep in. Delta seems to have a great option with their newest seat though, which I hope to see you try sometime soon. There is nothing MAX about that loo, Boeing claims to be an American company but the size of their tiny toilet closet suggests otherwise - supersize it!
Great video... you said American always fill their first class cabin by upgrades... do you know if Oneworld emeralds are also in the game for these upgrades (in this case BA Gold), or is it for AA members only? Thank you.
My understanding is that One World elites are eligible for upgrades, but only upgradeable one class above what you are booked in and only after A/A elites in your status level have received their upgrades.
New Sub here. American Airlines as a platinum card holder I would say I am at the point to drop the CC. I booked a flight for wife and I and our returned trip my wife and I was separated on one leg on our return trip. Wife is afraid of flying I was not going to have sit 3 isles away and I know picked my seats previous because i took a screen shot of the flights and seats. The flight for what I picked was booked for economy so to sit together I had to use 8k in points to upgrade to more leg room. This was one leg of our trip. I sent in a complaint and I just realized I never got those points back even with proof of seats being picked. I stayed with AA because my local airport they was the main carrier. But now I live with in one of the busiest Airport now I am going to start shopping around. I live near ATL what would be your recommendation for a good airline but not Delta please. Hehe
I flew on the Alaska 737 Max yesterday and I agree with you about the uncomfortable seats in first class. A little padding would have been much appreciated. Also I was dismayed that the entertainment required your own device. I am not a tech savvy person and paying for wifi in first class is a ripoff.

And in the overhead bin there was a 3 foot Chuckie doll.
Flying was so much more expensive and dangerous back then.
7:39 delta has better now off cookies cause it says delta on it, not just lotus, like any regular biscoff.
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.
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.
Love love love your reviews mate. Funny!!! The food review - I peed myself a little from laughter 🤣
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.
Hi Dan !! From Jamaica :)
I've flown on the MAX before. I was worried, but it was surprisingly comfortable, IF YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AIRLINE
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 🙄
You're on point here Dan. Nice work cutie, top form! 🙌😊
Awesome job dan
This might be a little much to ask but can you do an updated JetBlue mint??
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. 😊
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 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?
Have not flew AA for 15 years. i just flew AA Newark to Portland, first/business class. Flight attendant was amazing and flight was without a hitch, on time, decent meal and great service...mine was not a max
Great video Dan!
Great video Dan
The fact that he slides a sponsor so smoothly amazes me
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.
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 🤗
Stopped flying AA in 1997...gave up my frequent flyer miles...only fly with Delta since and in a pinch Jet Blue because of a family member who is an executive with Jet blue.
I'm 6'8". The new "Oasis" planes with AA are AWFUL. I break my neck everytime I try to use the restroom and usually urinate on myself. Plus my knees are bruised and numb during and after every flight
Did they put you on the window seats on aisle 61 where the motor makes you deaf for about 2 weeks afterwards?
So this it what "Chills" looks like.
Your videos are always the best💯 I do receive a notification each time you post a new video.. We'll have regrets for things we did not participate in...Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life.
Agree with you digital currencies that were once viewed as mysterious by many in the past went sky high making millions of dollars for a lot of people including I. It'll definitely do that soon
I wanted to invest more in crypto, but the fluctuations in crypto value discouraged me into dumping.
@Raphael Felix Investing in crypto as a newbie was very difficult due to lack of experience which resulted in losing my funds.....but Sir Arjun B Jagat restored my hope
@Raphael Felix My first investment with Mr Arjun B Jagat gave me the assurance that has made me invest without the fear of losing, I got four of my friends involved with him already
@Raphael Felix I've actually had a few experiences with some investment advisors, but I'd gladly commend "Arjun B Jagat " God bless that Man! Can't disclose too much however I raked in 910k + in a space of 7 months, using $155k capital.I see any market condition as an opportunity as i was thought by investment adviser, Having a good entry and exit strategy will make you succeed in the market.
I have to agree the cabin of the 737 is much nicer as I love the bigger windows. Hate flying A320 and usually avoid those flights as much as possible.
Same
Oh wow - I didn’t realise that American always upgrade people to fill the premium cabins. I find that very strange - I just flew business with ANA from Heathrow to Tokyo, and absolutely LOVED the fact there was only two of us in the cabin!
20 seconds in: Love the premise of the video. Okay, back to the video!
Love ur vids ♥️
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
LOL! Brutal, but fair... and this is why I haven't voluntarily flown American in years.
It's not a bad plane unless you compare it to the alternatives? ROTFLMAO! I need to remember to use that myself...
Thanks a lot for the video
Just SUB’d…YAY!!! Great Review of the MAX 👌
As a frequent traveler myself, and airline pilot, I will avoid 737s at all costs. If you are larger than the average ten year old, that thing is a tight squeeze. I am 5' 8" and 174 pounds (173cm and 79kg), so one inch shorter and 24.9 pounds lighter than the average American man, and I find the 737 extremely uncomfortable. Give me an Airbus or Embraer any day. Also, a frequent flier who does not have a few movies downloaded on to their mobile device is an extremely poor planner, as many airplanes are now being delivered without IFE, and the wifi/streaming systems can be hit or miss.
Airline bathrooms need an upgrade. They should be bigger and provide more head space. However, have a sneaky feeling the size is kept purposefully cramped to discourage any lingering, and certainly discourage mile high adventures. 😉
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!
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.
I HATE HATE the AA new seats with zero entertainment screens. I avoid them and have started flying Delta and UA for the first time.
@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!
I think the best airline I’ve flown own is delta. I’ve only traveled North America and haven’t done any transatlantic.
Nice content! Those Caribbean views
I fly all the time on a 737 max / 9 from Honolulu to Cali and I don’t have any issues. I’m 6ft 235lbs and usually am pretty comfortable. Now I’ve only flown with southwest and their 737 so not sure of other airlines.
Have you heard of the 'banned nuts' trick? On a couple of US Airlines an announcement is made saying there is somebody with a nut allergy on board...so all passengers are banned from eating nuts of any sort. I'll try to be careful next time I get on a train, bus, appear in public etc., in case of my allergic personality....lol ;-)
Does anyone have advise for getting a partial refund from AA when they cancelled my flight 10 hours before and rebooked for the following day, thus cutting my vacation by 1 day. Plus, they did not have my first class seat available and I had to sit in economy. I tried the website but it said I was not eligible despite being told at the gate they would help me out on the website. I called and was told twice that they couldn't help me, I had to go through the site. Finally got the form for customer relations. Have not heard back from them. Has anyone ever been in this situation? BTW I, too, had back issues from the seat coming home. Glad to know it wasn't just me.
I would call the airline and when you finally get a representative, ask to speak to a supervisor. You may get the answer you need by talking to someone who has a little bit more pull than the average phone representative.
@@jamiecloud1897 Thank you
Nonstop Dan.. where you at?! It’s been a long time since we’ve had a new video 🫤
Bro that shot is epic 9:40
My sister recently flew 1st class with American Airlines from John F. Kennedy to Jamaica recently and her flight had engine trouble which caused them to turn around, land and wasted a few of her hours.
When I compare what you are saying to what I experienced flying with Emirates and with Asiana I am absolutely disgusted.
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. ✈️
My one way flight PHL to LAX was $25 for wifi. Weigh your options carefully as depending where you are flying and how often, it's worth it to do the monthly and then cancel the subscription.
I always enjoy your videos:)
Thank youuu😊
For Malaysian airlines… the points have been devaluated SOOOO much that we sometimes need 250,000 (depending on season based on AI) to fly from Kuala Lumpur to Melbourne…?? I am a Platinum for years but wish someone would let us know which One world to for … instead of MH …align into account of local flights which is either MH or AK….. horrendous.
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
hahahahah....radioactive frittata. I love it. Thanks, Dan.
Recently flew the AA 737 Max from Miami Int to SFO in Economy while on holiday in the US. ‘Twas a 6.5 hour flight and little did my parents & I know there would be no food which was quite disappointing. And the seat wasn’t to comfortable either. My back was not good when I got off. Ate lots of Biscoff & Pretzels ofc! 🙃
In general you should avoid San Francisco
@@dawsonje Why what’s up with San Francisco ?
Why the surprise about no food? There hasn't been any meal service in coach U.S. Airlines since 9/11. (Food for sale, yes. Old fashioned hot meal, been over 20 years.)
@@photographybyrovin8769 oh man.. where to start! Honestly it’s too much for this post. Just do some research on the issues going on in SF these days, it’s truly a tragedy and shame
@@flyjet787 well, OP said they were on holiday in the country with their parents, so maybe they didn't know about it.
I check out everyday but no new vlog.. When is the new video coming... Please let is be quick!!!. Done waiting :(
Yes, I agree that American Airlines is not very good. Flying today on United and hoping it’s better!❤️👍✈️
Hope you have a good flight Diane!
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?
I feel like United's new-ish fake first class seat is also less comfortable than the older version, the old recliners are softer and easier to sleep in. Delta seems to have a great option with their newest seat though, which I hope to see you try sometime soon. There is nothing MAX about that loo, Boeing claims to be an American company but the size of their tiny toilet closet suggests otherwise - supersize it!
Great video... you said American always fill their first class cabin by upgrades... do you know if Oneworld emeralds are also in the game for these upgrades (in this case BA Gold), or is it for AA members only? Thank you.
My understanding is that One World elites are eligible for upgrades, but only upgradeable one class above what you are booked in and only after A/A elites in your status level have received their upgrades.
Actually only AA elite members!
I am emerald one world elite on a different airline and I am always upgraded to first class when flying AA.
New Sub here. American Airlines as a platinum card holder I would say I am at the point to drop the CC. I booked a flight for wife and I and our returned trip my wife and I was separated on one leg on our return trip. Wife is afraid of flying I was not going to have sit 3 isles away and I know picked my seats previous because i took a screen shot of the flights and seats. The flight for what I picked was booked for economy so to sit together I had to use 8k in points to upgrade to more leg room. This was one leg of our trip. I sent in a complaint and I just realized I never got those points back even with proof of seats being picked. I stayed with AA because my local airport they was the main carrier. But now I live with in one of the busiest Airport now I am going to start shopping around. I live near ATL what would be your recommendation for a good airline but not Delta please. Hehe
I flew on the Alaska 737 Max yesterday and I agree with you about the uncomfortable seats in first class. A little padding would have been much appreciated. Also I was dismayed that the entertainment required your own device. I am not a tech savvy person and paying for wifi in first class is a ripoff.
Interesting. I took a flight last spring, DCA-DFW where the free streaming service was not working.
Wonder if filling first class has anything to do with trimming the plane. AKA center of gravity.
You should reach out to American Airlines I bet they would give you Miles for the lack of the entertainment working
