Great video. I definitely think all airlines need to make the 787 window shading optional for passengers. Being able to control your own window gives power to the customer and will create more satisfaction. Glad to see American is taking the lead.
I had my first flight in my life, from Dallas FortWort (DFW) to Chicago (ORD) about 2 weeks ago and it was in that same aircraft and in the same seat, what a coincidence😊 I loved your review, good job 👏🏼🙌🏼
This video I really appreciate. Scheduled to fly this exact aircraft type, pandemic doom pending, from LA to Tokyo in February. Scored a deal for $300 round trip out of STL. SO excited for the trip. Even though it’s economy class.
$300 all the way to Tokyo?? That's insane man, enjoy it! Economy on the 789 isn't bad as I hope you saw it from this video, hopefully your flight goes okay!
Another awesome video! Water Canon salute! Eager to go to the Company Store, love that Dreamliner shirt! Pleasant flight outside of window shade tint for cruise, glad their addressing that. What. A. Approach! Can’t understand how much height difference those buildings have from many perspectives but this is one of them! Lake Michigan looking finer than ever! LH 748! Excited for more to come!
Thanks a lot Connor, I'm surprised you haven't visited the Employee Store yet you must visit it next time! Albeit the models they have are all Skymarks that are heavily overpriced ($75 for a 1:200 777-300ER) but still they have great stuff. From what I know the height difference has to be at least 3,000ft between the skyscrapers when we do the approach, it's not much actually.
@@ASAviation I didn’t even learn about it till late last year! 🤦♂️ I was planning to on my DFW/PHX Day Trip on my last layover but my PHX NEO got in late so I would have had to sacrifice Skylink or Dinner, I thought the Company Store would be there next time so I’m pumped to make an appearance there! Watching back it isn’t as big as I thought, still very nice to see them from this perspective though!
Preferred seats are weird. UA has those too. A seat 2 rows ahead will cost 24.00 dollars more on UA. There are even middle seats that cost 24.00 dollars more than aisle seats that are 2 rows back. I bought one for 24.00 dollars more be on a 737-800 on UA because they only had the last row empty for regluar cost seats and i wasn't sure about that for a 3.5 hour flight. I chose one that had a preferred middle seat next to me. That preferred middle seat 1 or 2 rows from regular seats is going to be one of the last purchased. No sense in buying it unless there are no other seats open. It was not used in my flight so i had more room on the flight. My seat was probably better than a ecocomy plus seat with all 3 seats taken. I am not tall so the extra pitch isn't as big of a deal but I would still prefer more pitch.
Outstanding trip report. It's cool to see the water salute from the Skylink train. I love the 787's window, but it'd be better if the crew don't lock them
I want to love this plane yet I flew from HNL to DFW and they turned off the windows for the entire flight unitl landing. Even though it was night I like looking out the window seeing stars, ships in the ocean, the moon, shooting stars and city lights. It was such a bummer.
Thank you! Normally AA is my go to airline when flying on solo trips because they are literally the only airline flying to my hometown airport of CMI. Otherwise honestly I prefer United overall.
Thanks a lot Todor! I set my GoPro to 1080p60 and film using the “linear” setting. Wide angle is fine too I guess, but “linear and horizon leveling” I wouldn’t recommend for takeoff/landing.
Did they check to see if you got covid tested? I’m going to be flying soon domestic from DFW to California. I’ve been researching and getting so many different answers.
They do not. No one checks while traveling domestically, all you have to do is just verify on check-in that you don't have any symptoms. The check is literally just agreeing "yes" or "no" if you have experienced symptoms.
Flying AA for the first time in less than 2 weeks, and on a 787 no less (followed by an Oasis 737 😑), both flights in economy, so we'll see how it goes (usually a Delta flyer). Now I know what to expect!
Being a Delta flyer, I can definitely say you won't enjoy the Oasis 737, but the 787 I hope you'll find it nice if you haven't flown it before! On the flip side, I usually am an AA and UA flyer living near Chicago but I'm flying Delta in about 10 days which I'm excited for as they're definitely the best in the US.
@@ASAviation Appreciate it! It will also be my first 787 too. Would have flown it in March 2020 from LAX to Heathrow with Virgin Atlantic for work, but that obviously got canceled :( Purposefully picked a seat on the sunny side of the flight to see how well those dimmed windows work with the sun shining through (usually avoid the sunny side).
Sadly this is an issue widespread across the entire US carriers. I flew United this past weekend, both times the seat was dirty along with the traytable. Thanks for watching!!

Totally agree, it's been a widespread issue across many airlines but I'm glad they're finally trying to solve the problem.

Flying this same Route Wednesday! AA2412 on 787-9!
buying that t-shirt and walking out into the airport takes a lot of commitment and love for aviation lol
I think it helped that it had the AA logo on it 😂
Great video! I live in Naperville and I love seeing the flight pattern over my house!

I love those windows. When you compare them to let's say concorde windows you will see that they are giants. I call them the gentle giants.
So cool seeing wrigley field before landing. Great vlog.
Amazing trip report mate!! The AA 789 has a special place in my heart 😍
Thanks bhai, funny enough I got the exact same shot you did while deplaning in Chicago with just the nose of the aircraft taken from the jetway.
I want to love this plane yet I flew from HNL to DFW and they turned off the windows for the entire flight unitl landing. Even though it was night I like looking out the window seeing stars, ships in the ocean, the moon, shooting stars and city lights. It was such a bummer.
That’s a shame, especially departing HNL. It’s a beautiful departure going past downtown!
Thanks for sharing
I recently took economy from Dallas to San Francisco... it was a great flight but I did have the exit row 👍
Gay
I just made a trip report on my flight to Hawaii
Awesome Video man! The approach was just 😍. Also in my opinion the a350 mood lighting beats that of the 787. And that T Shirt was dope!
Thanks a lot Safwan! Haven't flown the 350 but tbh I prefer it over the 787 overall.
@@ASAviation yea mans its much more spacious than the 787
The A350 is definitely superior. Airbus in general is superior. Boeing kinda sucks these days.
Nice trip report very nice 👌👍
Thank you bro.
Good job Hadi!! Hope I get to fly to Champaign at least for Zoya’s graduation…
Excellent review .. Great job ..
thanks a lot, I just saw the seat I needed
Great video, I hope I can fly with American sometime soon!
Thanks a lot, they're a good airline for the price!
Another great video! Thanks! Question . . . Is AA your preferred airline? If so, why? Just curious. Thanks again!
Thank you! Normally AA is my go to airline when flying on solo trips because they are literally the only airline flying to my hometown airport of CMI. Otherwise honestly I prefer United overall.
What a cool trip report! Nice video! What settings do you use for the go-pro footage?
Thanks a lot Todor! I set my GoPro to 1080p60 and film using the “linear” setting. Wide angle is fine too I guess, but “linear and horizon leveling” I wouldn’t recommend for takeoff/landing.
@@ASAviation Nice nice! I believe that's what I use as well, and its worked best for me.

They do not. No one checks while traveling domestically, all you have to do is just verify on check-in that you don't have any symptoms. The check is literally just agreeing "yes" or "no" if you have experienced symptoms.
I wish this video was never uploaded
JK Mate I love this upload
Nice video mate,my first trip report video may delay:(
Thanks man, and no problem take your time.
I flew this flight on the 777 in First, they didn’t give me a water. Since then, I’ll always judge AA shirt wearing :D
Nice video :)
I would’ve loved to have been on a 777 for this flight, that’s really weird how they didn’t give you water…thanks man!

Thanks a lot!!
Awesome work
Thanks bhai.
I agree with you completely about the sanitary conditions. This is terrible any time but in a pandemic essential. Nice vid. Cheers.
Sadly this is an issue widespread across the entire US carriers. I flew United this past weekend, both times the seat was dirty along with the traytable. Thanks for watching!!
Great Video! I will never get over that Chicago approach!
Hi aviation18
It truly is unique :D
Nice
Nicely done!
Thanks a lot man for all your support.
@@ASAviation You're welcome!
Great video Hadi Bhai. Please make how to make your own Serene Air A330 model please...
Thanks bro, Insha’Allah once I find time I will try.
@@ASAviation Inshallah. Hoping soon to watch....
You know the no meal bit is long overdue tiresome thing .
nice review
5hr layover? Go tour the city like I did lol.
I’ve been to Chicago hundreds of times 😂 I live two hours away I’ve seen all of it!
Not sure Chicago is the best city for tourism these days.
Cheers
As: only nerd will buy this
As mind: i have to buy this tho
Me:so you are a nerd? LOL
Please don't take this as offenses
Pretty much lol
Wow what an amazing approach!!
