American should really consider expanding it's premium economy cabin to offer more seats so more people can take advantage of the service.
I agree
thank you....we look forward to this trip.
You just helped me choose my flight from JFK to Athens. Thank you!
Thank you. I just switched my booking from BA to AA for my LHR-ORD flight in May in PE. BA has disappointed me too many times & the service I received from AA on my last rebooking exceeded what I ever got on BA🙂.
Awesome and informative video, thank you!
I'm really fond of this AA long-haul product. It's great!
Great video! Thanks so much, you helped me make my ticket decision!
Thanks so much. Have a great trip!
This is one of the best and most real video so far. We're going to Dublin in Aug 2023 and deciding between AA, BA and Air Canada. Thanks!
Go with the best price and schedule. They are all pretty much the same. Chose based on that rather than on board food etc.
I've flown with BA and AA premium economy, and in terms of food and entertainment selection, I'd lean toward AA since they have just offer a lot more of, both dinner and breakfast, AA also has a huge library of entertainments. Seats are comparable in comfort, but I do appreciate the adjustable headrest on AA which on BA's is not adjustable.
Why not fly Aer Lingus? The national carrier of Ireland, seeing as you are going to Dublin.
@@francismcdonnell753 They aren't anything special. Really kinda of hybrid between full service and LLC.
Where from?
Excellent video! Thank you so much🎉😊
Thanks 🙏
Very good video by the way !
Thank you for the very thorough tour! Recently booked this class with less info and you've confirmed that it was a very wise choice!
Thank you ! have a great flight
Great video! We're going Miami to Heathrow in May 2024 and that answered my questions.
Have an amazing time !
Helpful!
Doing AA Prem Econ this Christmas in a 777 to NYC through T3 LHR. Really looking forward to it! Coming back on BA 777 Prem Econ.
which one was better
@@user-ki6id4vt8u British airways, the crew were slightly more friendly and the seat was more comfortable on the BA flight.
AA was fine but the BA option I'd always pick over it in future.
I'm doing the trip again soon but going with Virgin Atlantic this time.
Our BA flight got canceled last year from LHR to PHL, while we lost our first class seats, these were pretty good. They weren't lie flat but better than domestic first.
Thank you. Flying from munich to Charlotte soon. It was the Right the desicion to fly with AA
Pleasure! Have a great flight ✈️
Flying Main Cabin Extra LAX-SYD (going to the Women's World Cup). The only thing I dislike that you like are the screens mounted to the wall showing stuff like the flight map. On transpacific flights, they are left on the entire flight so a mask is essential (lucky, I have zero problems sleeping on a flight. I managed to get to platinum pro on AAdvantage so I get Main Cabin Extra automatically at no cost (and I do get the extra legroom but an economy seat). Enjoy the video.
This looks really nice, I’m going to fly with AA instead of delta from ALB to LHR next year
brill ! have a great trip!
I am so glad I found this video. Kristi, did you say there was a foot rest in Premium? 🥰
Yes. Fiddly to get it to work , I helped the guy next to me ! Nice tho
I recently flew AA premium and it was well worth it. Plenty of space to stretch out and recline too
How much extra for the premium?
we paid £200 per person, it very much varies depending on the flight
To me,reclining / width of the seats are more important than leg rooms ! Also reserved overhead cabinets ! Good to know that you felt a lot reclining it gave !! 👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💞
Do they serve alcohol as a option? Is buying a meal a option in premium economy?
The good thing about the AA premium economy is that the food is very similar to the one they serve in First..
Wow this is amazing you get a meal in Premium economy , on delta before Covid no meal for second class seats and it was very uncomfortable 3 in a seat small seats no room , I’m flying American first class this time hope it’s a better experience
yes a very luxurious cabin with food. I walked through first, looked very dated on this plane, not a patch on Virgin upper
Im sure they serve u meals for international flights in economy class...
How is first row bulkhead in main economy? I saw a peak in the video. Looks spacious. Not sure about the reclining
Doesn’t look a patch on Virgins PE.Proper cutlery,nice cups of coffe and tea,The seats look ok on AA pretty wide,but there great on Virgin.That food looks exactly like you get three rows behind you.
Thing is doesn’t matter how much space you have it’s when the knobs in front of you put their seats back.
It was no different. AA were far more generous with the drinks and snacks, couldn't keep up. I've gone hours on Virgin gasping, then they come round with an ice lolly !
I am wondering which premium economy is better between American/ United !? 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💞
Wait wait two meals!?!? Two meals oh my. That's American take my money.
Fantastic review and video. I have not flown AA since they bought us airways. Question if you don't mind me asking was Wi-Fi available during your flight I know it's a little late to ask?
yes American international flights do have wifi on board. the flight from Dallas to Shanghai on American serves three meals and ice cream 😋
it seems the premium economy and economy class share the same food
Veggie curry & veg Thai noodle dishes looked very good !! 👍 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
It was delicious 🤤
@@kirstygriffiths749 YAY !! Very good to know !! 👍 As I'm thinking about flying with them to Argentina in the near future with mom & we're both vegetarians ! Thank you so much for your reply !! 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💞
The first veggie curry meal looked OK. The second vegetarian meal ,the veggie noodle meal ,looked better.
Was there any difference in how far the seats recline for the last row vs middle row of premium economy?
I think it was the same.
Hi! How far back can the seats recline and are they comfortable to sleep? Trying to find out if elderly parents could handle this and how far back the seats recline - can you comfortably sleep in premium economy? Thank you!
They had a good recline, as the gap between seats is a good size you get a fairly good recline. The seats are nice and wide, it would be easy to sleep.
I need to decide between the front row middle bulkhead aisle seat or the last row on PE with a window. Which one would be better. I'm assuming the back row will recline all the way. The front row will have more space but it's an isle no window. Please share suggestions everyone.
I think the front row had the best seat, the leg room looked good. The back seat didn’t recline
@@kirstygriffiths749 so I wonder why its still premium.. I thought it reclined
@@christinalove1309 sorry ! Yes it does. I was talking about another video. Front row was fantastic for leg room.
I am about to take this same flight in these exact same seats, just wondering if the row you are in reclined? We’ve had seats next to the bulkhead that did not and wondering if we should relocate
yes, our seats reclined. The seat at the very back didn't
@@kirstygriffiths749 the last row in premium economy didn't recline ???? Please advise
At what time did you take this flight? Im doing the same route soon with American airline 11am on a 787-9
We were 10.50am I think.
@@kirstygriffiths749 thank you
Could you keep all the items they gave you?
Everything but the pillow, blanket and headphones I think
Did everyone get these food extras or what you got in your section. Just upgraded us
On our trip home from Hawaii post wedding and honeymoon
I think this food was for this class only.
I see they serve food in premium economy.was the food included or was it a up charge? Also was alcohol a upcharge
Everything was included for free
@@kirstygriffiths749 Thank you very much whenever I fly I usually fly business or first class and the people in economy premium never seemed to have the full choices I have maybe it's because I'm on short trips? Thank you for your reply
is it better to book the first row of the premium economy? It seems that is way more legroom
I think you got a few extra inches , yes
Yes, but to be honest Prem Eco has so much legroom compared to economy you don't really need it.
Well I wanted to fly to Japan but now I’m realizing I couldn’t mentally put myself on a plane.. guess I’ll be grounded forever n never see Tokyo 😔 so scary
I’m so sorry. Such fears are totally normal. I couldn’t cross the Golden Gate Bridge due to a fear of bridges over water. Could you save to go on a long-term cruise which visits Japan?
I think you can take classes to beat fears !? Some of friends are very very scared to fly ,but they went to Japan ! Without taking any classes. I am originally from Tokyo. I live in L.A. ,hoping you'll be able to visit my country someday soon !! It's the best time right now as yen is low !! Lol October is my recommendation for people to visit Japan ,or April. Avoid our notorious summer & raining season !! 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💞
Looked ok for Pre: economy. Thank Buddha you didn't go BA as their food is mostly inedible. No hot second course you would have got a roll of some sort. if you were lucky.
Curious on your thoughts of BA Premium Economy. Heading to Dublin via Columbus in August 2023
@@christinashoop985 If you don't believe my firsthand experience, have a look on You Tube. Would I ever fly with B/A again well No.
That sounds so~sad !! Lol. Too bad as they've got real talented pilots !! Also ,Brits used to compliment/ praise their foods on planes !! Sad.😮😅💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💞
Flew from JFK to Athens in AA premium economy. Flight attendant was really rude . Wouldn't give me a double when everyone else in our class were getting them. Said, oh I will talk to them. Food was terrible. Not worth the price. Will only fly main cabin extra for the extra leg room..
Sounds like you got bad staff ! Does make the difference when you get great service and polite staff.
That blanket doesn't look super thick - were you cold?
I wasn’t cold at all no. I think I had a t-shirt on for the flight.
How much was premium economy? 2x as much from economy?
We were travelling as a package. Basically the flights cost us very little. I think it was about £200/$225 each
Pricing is all over the place. The way that works for me is to check Kayak or Google Flights for one-ways in PE. Sometimes its cheaper to mix and match airlines for the best price and experience.
If for international flights ,it can go as twice as more ! Sometimes,the own airline sites have better prices & also travel agencies do have discounted prices !! When it comes to change of flights/ plans & cancelation, the 3rd parties like Expedia will give you hard times as they won't be able to reach at by calling ,only texts/ email !! And they won't answer/ reply right away ! So,if you know that there will be a chance to change ,or cancel ,you should go with the particular airline's site ,or agency ! 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💞
Stupid but do you get to keep the blanket etc
I took it
😂😂😂😂😂 I take mines too
Shinola 🤣
I was on AA from DFW to ICN on Premium Economy.. it was horrible. Premium Economy on long flights is nothing above Economy on a domestic flight.. food was Economy food.. and service was just as bad (hostile attendants).
oh thats a shame. We had lovely attendants on this flight. I've flow Virgin Upper and had bad attendants. you get it across airlines and classes.
That's ridiculous. I've flown PE several times and it is WAY better than E.
Agreed4
Hearing the baby crying.......
I didn’t really notice a baby crying. But you do get them on planes.
American airline is the worst ever. Left me and my family stranded at LAX for a whole day recently. Strung us along by delaying the flight for four hours just to turn around and cancel it. I’ll never fly with this company again.
I've got far worst stories about Ryanair and Easyjet. No company is 100% perfect
