Last year I flew with United on a 777-300ER from Frankfurt to San Francisco and I was interested in seeing how American Airlines would compete. So I found a similar route from California back to Europe with AA once again on the 777-300ER. American’s service was quite competitive to that of United’s offering a solid product but without much extra. Still, it is always a joy to fly on the 777-300ER due to its large and modern interior and incredible GE90 engines. I understand that AA tends to be seen as the worst of the U.S. big 3, but honestly, flying them long was an absolute pleasure and I wouldn’t mind doing it again.

Awesome thanks for sharing your flight journey
American Airlines gives great service and food with pillows and blankets with nice planes clean that i have flown for first time i was impressed cause i have flown many others and they are not the same as AA 👍❤
Nice video mate! If I were to have this same flight using SWA then AA and I have baggage to check in, I'd have to claim my bags in LAX and recheck them at the AA baggage counter? Sad about the second meal prior to arrival into LHR a hot bagel and yogurt would have been a way better meal than what was served. So sad AA.
@@devonsanchez8292 Hi thanks for the nice comment! So yes if you had checked in bags with SWA, then you would unfortunately have to claim your bag and re check it with AA. The only reason I was able to transfer terminals so fast is because I was only traveling with carryons.
Gosh, I can’t even imagine flying in first class. It would make the flight a million percent better.😅
Totally!!!
I be flying with AA in June this year to Charlotte Douglas airport
Cool! Enjoy your flight! 👍
I book this one from JFK to LHR and I’m in 25K! I leave in a couple of months though. Glad to see how the plane looks. It will be my first AA long haul flight as well.
Great! I hope you enjoy your trip!
When? I’m flying on June 14th from JFK to LHR
@@ericpicklebottom1956 July 13-19 for me. Then I fly to Amsterdam
You forgot to mention the pitch for Main Cabin Extra, which according to AA’s website is 36”. IIRC, the MCE seats also have up to 2” more recline; that’s the case for the A319s w/ the seat back TVs
Yes that I didn’t personally measure the seats in MCE but 36” sounds right
@@theplanefacts one thing I do wonder is how you found out the seat recline for Coach and premium economy cause I’ve looked everywhere for the recline and AA doesn’t publish the amount of recline on their website
@@retroflashbackdude the reason why I have the measurements for the seat recline is because I carry a measuring tape with me on all my flights to get my own numbers
Oohh that seat to seat chat looks cool. My kids will love that! Did you get to try it? How does the receiving party know they have a message? We'll be flying with this aircraft in a month same route. We are in 21 & 22. We were supposed to fly this aircraft LAX-MIA this past June in First class but the flight was cancelled and moved to a flight using 787-800 Max
Unfortunately since I was flying alone I didn’t end up using the chat feature. I would assume how ever that a notification may pop up somewhere on the screen notifying the user that they have a message. Sorry to hear about the downgrade last summer but I’m sure you’ll enjoy your upcoming flight!
I was on this plane a few months ago on the London-Dallas route!
I remember before they were serving drink and snack before the meal do they still serve that? and how was the crew because the crew who was front door he was a little bit rude no smile and nothing
Unfortunately no snack before the meal. In terms of crew, they weren’t super friendly but definitely not rude, which in my book is a win because I really don’t expect much from AA at this point.
@@theplanefacts hahahah lol but let me tell u something LA based crew usually its bad their jfk based crew are much better
@@robertgonzales3936 that doesn’t surprise me at all 😂
15:30 yikes 😢😢
I agree, American Airlines could’ve really stepped up their game for a 10 hour flight like this.
My AA Flight 136 this week will leave from Terminal 4.
Oh that’s interesting. I would keep in eye on that because it might change.
@@theplanefacts For sure! BTW - did they offer snacks in the back like other carriers do for overnight flights?
@@kevinrazban8906 Yes, I was pleasantly surprised to see that AA did in fact have a self-serve snack and beverage bar in the back
@@theplanefacts good to hear. I guess it makes up a little for the lack of beverage service after takeoff.
I believe looks more like southwest wing paint 😆 🤣
😂southwest is now offering flights to London for $59 one way😂
Believe he flew into LAX on Southwest thus the SW colors on the wing tip. He left LAX on the AA777-300ER headed to LHR.
I am hoping for a better long-haul experience than I on my previous two long-hauls with American. Both were on 767s in 2005 and 2012. One was ORD-OGG and the other was JFK-BCN. On ORD-OGG they ran out of food you could only purchase before they even got to my row, and neither flight had IFE’s. I was on a 777-300ER for Air Canada in 2018 for YVR-YYZ and it was great. Found out yesterday we were changed from a 777-200ER to a 777-300ER like this for our JFK-FCO flight in June 2024. So maybe it will be good.
I remember getting omelettes and sausage for breakfast on DAL transatlantic flights ten years ago.
Yeah, it’s crazy how much things can change in just a few years!
