A friend of mine works for a company that builds the seats. Airlines are removing the IFE's for two reasons: 1. most people are using their laptops and tablets, thus no need for the IFE and 2. removing them creates about 500 lbs less weight which translates into better fuel economy. Other airlines are following suit so no one is offering a better in-flight experience than anyone else.
Hate to say you're wrong but you're wrong. United just announced they are re-installing IFE on their entire fleet, Delta never removed them in the first place, and AA is even considering it since their competition is now better than them. Go on a flight with IFE and look at all the people using the systems. They are more than worth it in the long run.
I fly this from DFW to Lga August 2. My thoughts are that AA remains nothing more than a bunch of bean counters and if they aren’t careful Delta is going to eat their lunch with their huge investments at LAX (Already passed AA) and at JFK.
Yikes I'm on an A321 tomorrow, I hope it's not an Oasis one! I loved the map screen when I last flew American in 2017. Also, you go to Embry-Riddle? That sounds so awesome.
Hey if you dont mind me asking.. how tall are you? Im foying this class soon and im pretty tall. Just need to know if ill have more or less leg room than you😂
I flow on an A321 a fews back. On the way we hit a crosswind landing. A little scary. Perfect flight on the way back. I like the plane.
Thank you for sharing this video! It was relaxing to watch

@@FLLAviation I've searched every news article about AA considering adding in-flight entertainments back. Where do you hear this news?
@@qasimahmed445 It's been mentioned internally a few times. AA doesn't want to do it, but DL and UA are forcing AA's hand in adding it back.
@@FLLAviation I believe they'll switch them out. With the new partnership with Thales' AVANT, they'll switch em out sooner or later.
And JetBlue also still have ife screens onboard all their planes even on the new a220s
Yall all seem to want all the fancy entertainment and fancy food. I just want a plane that somehow doesn't give me ear pain for the day.

All A321's have Oasis now, and yes I go to riddle
@@FLLAviation Well at least hopefully that means we'll be rid of those computer boxes under half the seats that took away from carry-on space.
Do the armrest between the seats raise all the way up?...also what about exit row seats armrest?
Yes, the armrests in between seat raise, but not for the exit rows since the tray table is in the armrest
I’d rather read a book than watch a movie

I tried doing that on a Spirit flight from Fort Lauderdale to Guayaquil. Really wasn’t at pleasant as I thought.
