Review: how to choose or select the best seats in American Airlines Premium Economy, with Tom Otley, Editor of Business Traveller magazine.

- [Narrator] Okay, so this is the American Airlines Premium Economy cabin on a triple seven. You can see it's two-four-two configuration. And quite a small cabin, there's just three rows at the sides and four rows in the center. I'm standing at the front of the cabin, which is row 16. You got row 16, 17, 18, and 19 in the center. And then at the sides you're looking at 16, 17, and 18 there. Front row is obviously the one you want if you like the legroom. This is on a triple seven 300, I should point out. So that row 16 A and C, they're great seats. See, if you are in those seats, your in-flight entertainment's gonna come out of the arm in front of you, and it's got some leg rests there. Reclines as normal, as you'd expect. Same for that front row there, 16. Those seats are D, E, G, and H. Just moving back to the more standard seats, the ones that are in the center, you can see that the leg rest is slightly different. It just comes out, it's more of a foot rest. Comes down from the seat in front. And then you've got storage for magazines, a coat hook, some more storage below. The back row, row 19, looks a good one from one point of view, because you can recline, I guess without disturbing anyone or being disturbed. But of course, bear in mind that because of the configuration, you know you're gonna have the curtain between you and economy. And in one sense, you are almost sitting in economy class, in terms of noise. And also bear in mind that if there are children, there may well be bassinet seats here. Actually, it doesn't look like it is there, but there are bassinet seats in row 20 there. That's what those things on the wall are, those markers. Okay, these are the seats toward the window on the right hand side. These are L and J, and you've got rows 18, 17, and 16. It's quite a spacious cabin. The seats are obviously dedicated seats for premier economy.
More great advice for travelling with American Airlines.
This was a fantastic overview, and would be amazing if there was more reviews like this for different configs/classes on American!
HELPFUL!!!! EXCELLENT!! A real review video that showed the SEAT - really gave an idea of things So much better than many travel reviews where they love showing clouds and people's asses walking around in airports.
Just traveled to New York premium economy on American Airlines must say was worth the extra great seats very comfortable
Super helpful; thanks!
This was extremely helpful!!! Thank you!!
It must be quite smooth considering that the premium economy is right over the wings.
Thank you for the informative video!❤🎉😊
Now that's how you showcase a cabin, nice work.
This was so helpful thank you!!
Can’t wait to try it out flying to New York in may 🤩🤩🤩
ngl its actually pretty nice
Excellent video!
Flying American Airways next year for first time, have knee problems and thinking about premium economy seats and if worth the extra money ??
Does the emergency exit door protrude out at all to affect your leg room?
Nice advice, really appreciate it!
The OTHER concern from row 19 is that you inhale economic air which is ghastly!
Is there a curtain between premium and economy???
Are seat no.17a and 17c in premier economy class in flight aa293 on the winghs
Happy New Year Tom. Thanks for another informative video. Those seats look identical to those in AA domestic first in their A320/A321 and 737 aircraft. Certainly looks comfortable enough for a day flight to the US East coast. Is the in-flight catering anywhere near what they serve in transatlantic business? Happy travels for 2019!
Hi Keith. Thanks very much and same to you. No, the catering isn't very close to business class, unfortunately.
In the review I wrote,
"The choice was a salad of seasonal greens, balsamic vinaigrette. Main plates were coconut curry chicken, steamed rice, vegetables or tomato and mozzarella filled fiorelli pasta, leek sauce, pickled peppers, grana Padano cheese. I chose the latter which was fine without being exciting. I asked if they had any Tabasco sauce but they did not. Dessert was apple crumble, fresh cream with blueberries.
Not everyone got the full choice - I think I got one of the last pasta dishes. As it says on the menu "If we reach your seat, and we have run out of your meal of choice, we apologise and hope you will still enjoy your flight."
The drinks choice was several different beers including Sam Adams, with a white wine of Reserve de Sainte-Helene Colombard-Chardonnay, France and a red of Villa Chavin Reserve Tempranillo Syrah, Spain. The red was fine."
Thanks. Tom
Do you know if this is also on the "shorter" haul 700-300er flight LAX-MIA? On their website these seats are designated Main Cabin Extra not Premium Economy in the domestic flights.
Great job! Would have been nice to see one reclined, to get an idea of how that would be, but still, very nicely done sir
Thank you. We had about 2 minutes to film before the flight boarded which made it very tight but I will certainly do it next time.
do the front row leg rest come out and up like a lazy boy chair does?
why in the world wouldn't you show what they look like reclined?
Thank you so much
No good AA! Bulk head seats with leg rest or its a no go for me with only foot rest.
I have premium economy booked from Dallas to Hawaii. Two of us. Bulkhead middle section going. Last row on return.
Do other passengers use middle section of the bulkhead as a walkthrough? That would be bad.
Mine is a B777 200, layout 2, with 3,rows of premium economy.
Main cabin extra seats are behind the bulkhead, which should help.
Exactly, and on this flight they didn't use it as a walk through - hope that helps.
Is this 777 300er?
Some extra info for those that are curious: If you are a person of size (like me) then these seats are terrible. The aisle armrests do go down but none of the others do because the meal trays are now in the armrests (as opposed to before "premium" when they were pulled down from the seat in front of you). This made dining very uncomfortable for me (I know, I could stand to lose some weight by skipping the meals - - ha ha). Also, being wedged into this little 18-18 1/2 " wide box was uncomfortable as well (basically, no wiggle room at all). Those little round coat hook thingies are a joke, but they are listed in advertisement as another "plus". And the pockets in front of you are inflexible so no place to store the offered bottle of water (not even a pull down bottle/cup holder!). I used to fly on Delta Comfort+ and it was good, but all these new premium sections are a nightmare for me!
thanks for the armrest going down in aisle add
Can I ask how big you are please
Doyou get an amenity kit in economy premium flying from Heathrow
yes, you do
Those are the seats now in AA domestic first class
The best videos on CZcams!
Be useful to know the measurements and amount of seat recline
Hi Kenneth. That's on the review on businesstraveller.com.
I am confused about the first row screens. The other rows have the screen on the headreast of the other seat but the first ones?
This is the 777-300 not the 777-200 ER?!?
Yes, that's right.
Book a flight
What are you going to do if there are kids in premium economy 😂
Dolma C. Williams upgrade to first class just $5,000 more...
