American Airlines A319 First Class - Dallas to Pittsburgh

- Finishing up my trip, I flew aboard American Airlines up to Pittsburgh, PA from Dallas, TX on one of their A319s in First Class! Obviously, this was no where near the experience I had in Flagship Business on their Dreamliner, but for a narrowbody it certainly beats sitting in Economy. Now, if only the meal service was on the First Class level, then it would be worth it...but sadly American eliminated their meals during COVID in the name of "safety". It was still a very nice flight though and since I just ate beforehand on my previous flight and at the airport, I really wasn't expecting a steak to be placed in front of me. American's A319 only has 8 First Class seats up front, so it's a very private and inclusive section pardoned off from the rest of the plane. It's a really cool experience sitting up there and having one flight attendant serving that few people, and when the FA is friendly it just adds to the goodness. Hope you guys enjoy!

The A319 is too cute. You can tell they were meant for medium haul with all the trolley space aft. Enough for two meals in an ideal world.
I like your style man, subbed.
The 19 is my personal favorite of the A320 family.
Great video! It is good to see you enjoying flying in the front of the plane now too. I think that it is the general consensis that American's decision to get rid of the PTV's was a bad idea. From what I hear is United is bringing them back and Delta plans on keeping them.
AA may have to reverse that decision given the competition.
The person in front of you at Auntie Anne's sounded like a Karen. Great video by the way. You always brighten my mood.
Adding cream with the bag still in the cup? Pure evil! But another fine report Chris. I’m still a ginger ale guy. I love your history and airport data, as well as your music selections. I’ve never flown AA (B6 usually for my US visits), this looks sorta ok.
Great video Chris! I can’t believe you flew over the city I live close to (Lexington)! I think I like the 787 Business class better. Great video as always!
DLs best IFE product is on their A220s. The only mainline aircraft without IFE is their 717s and they're on the way out. Once the 717s are retired the fleet will offer a consistant product from smallest to largest.
I flew from Pittsburgh to dfw a couple weeks ago and I had a good view of Lexington and I took a picture of it

Forgot to mention that you have beautiful hair!
This is the first time he flew first class, nice plane, I flew on this one in seat 2E, idk why I’m always such a weirdo booking isle seats, nice. I loved the plane! This one was beautiful! I loved sitting in the 2 rowed isle seats! First class is truly worth it (on long flights like this one)
I think AA messed up horribly taking the ifes out of service, like, come on😱
It’s normal to see dogs traveling by their owners in the cabin
my mom says people are rich for first class
There needs to be a door between First and Coach. I don't like those dirtballs seeing what I'm doing, and I don't like smelling them either.
Those wretched commoners in economy ought to be walled off from the decent folks in first class.
I can't believe they allowed 2 large dogs on the plane.
Yeah, those were definitely not service dogs.
Awesome 😎
The food and drink service on American in business/first is really mediocre to bad these days. The food is mostly terrible and for drinks they only carry two of each beer and not enough champagne for even half of first class to have a mimosa. First world problems right? but those are some of the things you are paying a premium for. Like going to a gourmet restaurant and eating with plastic utensils and drinking out of red cups.
American Airlines has got some nerve calling that first class. I personally wouldn't even call that business
Did you know before 2005, DFW had an underground train connecting the concourses together
Yes, it this rickety little train pre security.
First time here and I really enjoyed the content. Liked and subscribed.
so basically you need to pay a 1000% increase to get a normal seat on a plane
Awesome! Your videos are the best! Nicely done 😃
Do they reserve the overhead bins in first class for first class passengers? In other words, could you board late and still have your bin over your seat free?
Yes
Might be flying from Dallas to Pittsburgh myself. Not sure what airline and doubt it’ll be nonstop. Possibly United or Southwest.
Fantastic trip report as always Chris! I can’t wait to see more reviews here!😸
Hey Life’s Ups and Downs!
@@BluegrassElevators hey Andrew!
Amazing video
Agreed 👍
Chris you have fabulous hair.
Great vlog
I flown in first on AA'S 737 and 319. I think I prefer the 737. Maybe cuz the cabin has 4 rows. Having setback IFE on their narrow body would be a good idea.
I'll be heading to Pittsburgh this fall for Steelers' game. I have a feeling that I will be flying on the day time version of this flight.
In December 2020 COVID was extremely bad in the U.S. averaging 300,000 cases and 3,000 deaths a day
Right now Chris is onboard a Lufthansa flight from San Francisco bound to Frankfurt, Germany and he will continue on to where his family is from which is Poland aka Krakow!!!
So no IFE in first class on American A319s? Damn, I have a 4+ hour flight on one in a month.
DFW is the 4th busiest airport in the world behind DEN and ATL and Guangzhou China
Hi my name is Andrew
No IFE?
It grieves me to see how FC service has dwindled and changed all due to a virus excuse. I remember many first class flights I have taken where the food and beverage service was top notch even on American! Oh well, I guess until Americans complain, nothing will change! Thanks for your report!
It's slowly comming back. A big challenge has been the catering companies ability to supply full meals.
what kind of microphone are you using to narrate your videos? You'd should use a windscreen or pop filter, it would cut down on those nasty plosives! I always enjoy watching your videos!
It would be nice to see PTVs installed on AAs narrowbody fleet. Even UA has seen the light and their entire narrowbody fleet will be installed by 2025. AA unfortunetly has never been one for consistancy. When they started installing on the 738s they didnt' retrofit so you didn't know what you had until you saw the planes reg. They then pulled all of them out with the exception of some L-AA 321s. And how many "products" are availible on the 321.
I literally laughed out loud at the tea incident
i was wonder when he would say BEEP.
I know how you feel when the tea bag string falls in the tea, it sucks when you try to get it out and you almost burn yourself. I am a big aviation fan also and try to fly as much as I can while still being in school
American needs to offer free wifi texting like all the other carriers. Big shame they don't
I wonder if it would be a good item to use pandemic time flight - so that in the future people looking for flight vids during the pandemic can find them easier.
Also at least it doesn't snow in San Francisco meaning no White Christmas there
I knew exactly what terminal that was only D is nice enough for a tree 🤣🤣
Was living in NYC during that storm… sheesh lol
Great vid! You are right….the meal was truly a “rip-off!”
just like my service dog Danny cute :}
Great review.they are bringing back regular meal service this month for first class on all flights that get it.
Do any airlines offer free WiFi in 1st Class or Business Classes ?
Fruit and Cheese Plate just like Alaska Airlines
I flew on American MD-80 first class back in 2009 and it was really cool and the seats where quite roomy and the flight attendants brought warm cookies it was a cool experience for me
I think I would have taken the sandwich
they should upgrade the skytrain to a prt. i enjoy that strange buzzing planes make during take off.
Thanks for sharing a first class flight. And because there’s a hub for AA at DFW, I would sometimes fly on that airline from O’hare to Dallas and Austin a while back. I have to admit I was on the md80 many times before it retired but I don’t think was always my aircraft to there and back.
Sky link is my favorite
I love your content keep it up
5:10 american west airlines
TheJazzguy13 aviation don't forget Friday 26th November is my 19th birthday.
Love your videos! I don’t know what fascinates me about full flight videos but they do! I know your a plane channel but do you think you could do more train vids!
More trains soon! 👍🏻
Stroopwafel’s are the best!
I agree 1000%
Love your flight reports good job
amazing video are you planing on flying to atlanta or Washington DC next ?
Yep both! Atlanta vids will be first up eventually

DFW was designed as an origin and destination airport to begin with but deregulation in 1978 resulted in AA making it their main hub airport prompting more concourses to be built with confusion among passengers where their gate is especially originating passengers
Actually DFW is a very easy airport to navigate with the airtrain. Can be much easier to connect there vs ATL
@@johniii8147 DFW good hub and spoke airport but for departing passengers confusing for AA passengers
@@michaelsharp3615 Never found it so. Found it quite easy when i lived in Dallas since the parking garages are there at the terminals. Only trick to remember is what terminal you parked at.
@@johniii8147 AA uses all 5 concourses especially transferring after security
rip The American Way magazine
NO ONE CARES!!!!!!!!!
Love your voice and videos..good job..
I agree
Based in this video, domestic US first class is definitely a ripoff. You are barely fed, you have to pay for wifi, etc. I know many people will disagree, but you are better off flying Spirit and paying extra for the "Big Seat".
Fantastic video, Chris! I just can't believe you're flying to so many different cities. I hope you send the next video!
cool
i liked the vid
You are starting to be like Zach, Quintin, Dutch, and Emil by flying in First Class most flights
Snow sucks and I want to leave the Midwest and move to the desert after I graduate from college
The problem is with DFW is if you are a passenger originating at Dallas Fort Worth meaning you park your car at one concourse like concourse A only to find out your gate is in Concourse B, C, D, or E meaning you have to take the Skylink to your gate and when you get back you have to find where you parked your car also in a different concourse when you arrive which is why I don't want to fly out of DFW if I move to the Dallas Metroplex
That's no big deal. Actually very easy to navigate and much easier than at many hub airports.
People in the back lol peasants
