FIRST CLASS with Delta Air Lines vs. American Airlines
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 09. 2024
- Two trip reports for the price of one! Let's compare the domestic First Class experiences with Delta Air Lines and American Airlines.
The first flight is on a new Delta 737-900ER from ATL - PHX.
The second is on an older American A321 from PHX - DCA.
What do you think? Which is better?

What I’m impressed with is that your American Airlines flight wasn’t delayed 5 hours
no, shit!!!!!! AA just humiliates the good people of Texas..... last week... flew to Chicago.. not a cloud in the sky, and we had 7 gate changes... it's as if, really? Passengers? you showed up today? You interupted my texting......................................ugh... I hate AA
This is why I love JetBlue, Delta, And Southwest.
@AsianCurry Alaska????
Ikr
Eugenia OL or delayed to 4 am
Being a former AA employee, I fly Delta.
Lol that’s funny
Avishai Hershey thank you! I checked in a customer and he admitted that he IS, not was, an American Airlines pilot who spends thousands of dollars just to fly on Delta.
It is ashame American does not care about their customers. I have flown American on First class for the last two years. It isn't great. I would hate to be in economy.
Dean Semmer Economy is amazing.We do care about our customers 🤦🏻♂️
@@deltatv3525 Then why is AA making the pitch of the seats smaller and eliminating the entertainment monitors. In my opinion that is NOT caring for their customers. I have flown 43000 miles this year with American. I am changing next year to Delta.
It may be called first class but it's more of a business class in my opinion
Jeb Brooks yeah, our European short haul business class is really bad
Jeb Brooks that was a shorter domestic flight though. i flew from boston to san francisco on jetblue first class and it was amazing. there was a completely flat bed, great meals, and the nicest flight attendants i’ve ever had.
Louie R it’s more like economy for me
i call it, a premium economy long haul flight
I totally agree and if this video didn't have a title I you think it was economy class
Nobody:
Jeb: "I brought my own Bose noise cancelling earbuds that work better"
I prefer my Sony WH-1000XM2 headphones.
@@Undecided0 got you beat. WH1000XM3 for the plane and H9I for the ground.q
@@valentenaupton2805 They're not really. They've got a lot of the marketing hype behind them, but there are superior headphones from other companies.
@@shogun2215 Can you recommend some other brands?
@@winebox Philips or Bang & Olufsen.
If you have not had the delta cookies you are missing out
American serves Biscoff too.
Groan! Did you have to mention them? Now I'm drooling! LOL!
@KingMattVidz and aren't tey yummy? Mmmmmm! :)
Oh not the Biscoffs! Delta gave me some KILLER warm cookies and milk on my way back from London in Business class!
@@soarandskor.aviation oh, the Biscoffs are delicious! I dunk them in milk. When you fly domestically on short haul flights, you don't get much in the way of food, but the Biscoffs really are great!
Even though this review is a couple years old, it helped me immensely to get an idea of what to expect on my first flight. Thank you.
Delta is my pick! Thanks for posting 👍🏼
Delta is alot more consistent product.
AA can be great but the hard product varies so much based on the plane . Even take 321 they offer five different layouts and they will swap out based on scheduling. The Oasis planes were a huge step backwards
Those “first class seats” look straight outta economy
it looks like premium economy on the big boi planes
Because they are flying on a us airways repainted a321 say they flew AA 787 Vs Deltas A350 it would be a no brainers american would win.
You know it's bad it looks looks like the southwest seat and frankly I rather fly Southwest
@@icisne7315 American Airlines in my opinion is best out of the 2 airlines but what American did with their new 737-Max Is disgraceful and they should change that
@@KOTTOS HMMMMMMMMMMMMM. You should read TPG's take on that.
My grandmother lived to be 89. All her traveling life up until the day she died, she swore by Delta. I remember the days way back when smoking was still allowed. Lol
My grandmother too she is 85
I’ve flown both in first class and I choose Delta. I’ve had similar experiences with American not having IFE.
I hope American suffer for not having in flight entertainment. They are making a poor choice. I can understand not having it on a flight that lasts for an hour but for 3 1/2 hours. American you have lost my business.
This video makes me feel like I’m watching a “ mister rogers neighborhood ” Delta/AmericanAirlines Review .
Delta > AA
LOL!!!!
I Personally am a stickler for United but the 3 times I’ve flown with delta they have been very impressive. I wish they flew to more of the places I go!!
Yeah I'd prefer an airline that doesn't punch their passengers but thats just me.
@@ryleefinger7421 Stfu that wasn’t United i’m not even gonna start with this, so uneducated.
The delta app is amazing. I was on a flight, sitting at the gate for maintenance issues. Literally was on the plane. It saw that I was going to miss my connection and automatically booked me on the next available flight and sent me a boarding pass without doing anything. However, with your video, you should have had two equal planes. These aren’t remotely the same level. You need to find a delta and AA flight that is the exact same plane made during roughly the same year. This is like comparing a 2000 Benz with a 2016 BMW.
Aaron Hepps If you like the delta app and fly Virgin Atlantic i recommend the app. It actually the same app but with red-purple-pink classic virgin flare!
Aaron Hepps I don't agree on the difference in planes. Delta is running all kinds of older planes, especially its 757 fleet and, guess what? They've updated all the cabins to look just as good as the brand new 737. AA's brand new 737 MAX8 aircraft look the same in first as that A321. Exactly the same seats. No IFE. It's not the planes, it's the carrier.
elias chiddicks ur right. basically the cabin design and size all depends on the airline, not the plane itself.
Aaron Hepps same
Aaron Hepps i was going to say the same
Delta has great servce better than American Airlines. Not bad for a company that started out as crop duster.
I agree
Haha, I agree
We all have to start somewhere!
33 year F/A at American, I appreciate your honesty and you were impartial...as it should be!!
But if I had to choose I would go with Delta Delta is my all time favorite airline that isn’t too expensive and out of her class is just really nice and I love airplanes so delta is my way
*Cough* You forgot to mention the 12 hour waiting time and the 57 dock switches on American Airlines.
Jarom Toy hay i know you like delta thats why you are being a ass whole both are good airlines
What player says is fair.
I'm not being an a** hole because it's true
Player: Unknown facts I hate aa
JetBlue guy 56 u must of never flew with AA cause they are bad not bad horrible
I always fly Delta First Class, have never had a problem with Delta.
Charlie Scott careful they choose random person to be kicked out
OMG craft that’s drama caused by the passengers and those videos are mostly from united don’t grow a paranoia over the drama people make
Charlie Scott, you are right when people are so stupid and make drama that’s on them. It happened on Delta, American too. Media just show negative garbage as it sells better than positive, or is it Delta, American or United Airlines.
At the end you get something for being bumped and doesnˋt cost you anything expect time.
OMG craft That was United you dummie
CoolTechStuff Delta did it to it was not as harsh but they did it to a family with a baby !
5 years on and still finding the positives....
Please, never lose that, It's a joy and a help to watch :)
I will be flying with delta for the first time in May so I'm looking forward to the comfort plus.
How as it? We will be flying comfort plus in nov and on the way back I haven’t decided if I wanted to spend the extra $$
I really enjoyed this video. it was a very objective and pertinent comparison, and the outcome was weighted fairly. I personally think that Delta was the winner overall in this comparison. I've flown both airlines and I have always had more enjoyment, and less trouble, with Delta. You did a good job, Thanks!
Definitely first class with Delta!!!
Flying with delta is awesome! I fly a lot with them going if trips to places with family. Its comfortable
I am a Concierge Key with American and fly well over 200,000 a year on them. Many years ago, I had top tier with Delta (also around 2 million miles) before switching to American because Delta was eliminating first class seats/service by expanding business class seats especially for international travel which had a negative impact on me. However, the past year with American has proved extremely frustrating between 737 MAX, mechanics slow down, etc. Presently I fly six days a week at this time of the year and I am experiencing flight delays on two-thirds of all flights which is costing me valuable business/work time. Your video appeared very fair and represents similar experiences especially with American’s inflight food. As with most of the major mergers, the American service has deteriorated since US Airways joined the company. Thank you for your effort to present a fair evaluation and know it was appreciated.
This is my experience as well. It would be good to see this comparison done on a year by year basis. Delta seems to be making significant investments to their product while American is regressing, both in their equipment and employee relations.
I have flown only with American for my whole life and have never once been disappointed.
I would much rather have the better flight attendant than the better seat.
Keep up the great videos Jeb!!
I love delta Airlines
Probably because I live near Hartsfeild-Jackson Airport
Yes but those Monday morning flights can really test your patience. From another Atlanta resident. :-)
I live near Atlanta too and I always fly with delta. Probably the best airline
I live near KATL and I think Delta is the worst.
I live near Atlanta too. I fly whatever airline fits my schedule because me and my family don’t fly often(3-4 roundtrip flights a year ) so there isn’t really a reason to stick with one airline.
I live near JFK and LaGuardia airport in New York City. I see and hear many aircraft a day. That also may be why I love delta.
I’m surprised that you didn’t get any delays on American Airlines
Delta is waaaay better
Bob the truck driver ikr
Nope American is.
Kilo Alpha One nah my dude that sucks
Totally agree bro
Oh yeah yeah
United: Am I joke to you?
Everyone else: Yes
Yes. You’re a joke, United. 😆
Delta all the way ! ✈️❤️💙
JENNMARIE 🔺✈️
I would love to try other airlines, im only 12 and my family ONLY flies Delta. We flew Spirit once. Yikes 💀
Sweezy_boi hmmmm which is worse though?
Spirit vs Ryanair
I've flown both Delta and AA first class and your comparison is spot on. For me it's far and away Delta - but yes I've run into grumpy crews on occasion, probably inherited also from US Airways (also flew their product and paid full price to be snapped at the entire flight). My recent trips with AA had the most incredible crew member in first, but the food was dreadful for all three meals. And the lack of in flight entertainment along with NO outlets to charge your own was unacceptable. Their new product may be great, but the chances of not getting it makes me reluctant to book. Here's a trick for making your flight, no matter where you are sitting, more enjoyable: bring a bag of goodies for the cabin crew. Doesn't have to be much, but it is always appreciated.
Sorry, didn't mean to highlight this, I was trying to edit it
Delta all the way
American lose baggage all the time Delta very rarely
Pilot Urp flown American since 1990 never lost a bag 2nd time I flew delta and the 6th lost my bags
oh wow. my friend went on asiana airlines and they lost their luggage first time. there was an iphone X and a brand new microsoft computer in it, and they lost it all. probably 1,000 some dollars lost. they never rode asiana airlines again.
it basically depends on ur luck, and reliability of the airline.
Pilot Urp all airlines lose bags all the time. Neither one does it more than others. This is first hand experience on a daily basis.
Contrary to DELTA - Don't Expect Luggage To Arrive then? ;)
Maybe its luck, but overall I have to go with Delta because I haven't had terrible delay experiences like I have with American
I am being on a Delta plane from Minnesota to Mexico and I have to say the service was amazing 😉
I’m 13 years old I live in Baton Rouge Louisiana a and BTR is mainly delta and united airlines. I love delta so much! And one time I was sitting in the back because our first American airline flight was canceled due to hydraulic fails and there was a 10 year old boy with a flight attendant and that flight attendant was so nice to everyone although he was a Alabama football fan instead of LSU he still made everyone laugh and have a good time that hour and forty five minute flight was one of the best ever.
I LOEV YOU MAN!
Delta Airlines a hundred percent I use Delta to fly to Hawaii Delta used to have a hamburger on the menu that tasted better than a restaurant hamburger it was unbelievable how good it was so I'd say Delta gets a thumbs up
Darrin Graham delta isn't the ones who make the meal
I bet it would taste even better on ground! Scientists say that when you eat on an airplane it tastes worse than on ground.
Darrin Graham I went to Hawaii with delta too
American Airlines had no TVs on a 7 hour flight from New York to London!!! delta was an amazing experience on the way back. DONT FLY AMERICAN!
Ive been on an American Airlines A321 with entertainment in economy.
there could have been an aircraft swap due to mechanical issues. It's best to check which airplane you will be flying on before hand and see if that aircraft has the amenities you're looking for.
Um once again look at the aircraft before u book the flight because we just came back from California back to Texas they both had TVs and plus they landed us in a thunderstorm we saw all the lightning it was a bumpy landing anyway look at the aircraft before u book and don’t say u don’t know because the aircraft has a schedule for the rest of the year unless they change then u will get a notification on the app so that is your fault for not booking it right
Probably because you flew on one of their older aircraft (757 or 767). However, their newer aircraft, 777s and 787s, are very nice with IFE on ever seat. They are still a great airline, regardless if they have IFE or not.
AMERICAN AIRLINES IS MORE BETTER. I have been on a flight to LGA and it was nice
I flew first class in American for an eight hour trip to Maui. This was on a Boeing 777. All the amenities that you had on your Delta first class flight were there. We also had adjustable lie flat seats with provided pillow, blanket, and Bose noise canceling headphones. The seat was contained in its own semi private cubicle with a lot of storage space. So try American again with a proper modern first class seat.
John the Werewolf I agree! I flew on a 777-300 this last summer in first class, and the “pods” we had were amazing! They reclined almost flat, had the entertainment system, blanket, storage...we thought it was great! We were served the signature warm mixed nuts and the beverage of your choice...I just had diet sprite, but alcohol was available. We had lunch served and I preordered the fruit and cheese plate, and it was perfect. Not too heavy, but filling enough. The warm cookies for dessert were delicious. I was actually able to recline, and napped during the flight. Unheard of for me!! The crew in first were just as described in the video...attentive, smiling, and helpful. I would def do AA again in first class!!
As a Long Time Flight Attendant for "One" of those Airlines, Now Retired, I enjoyed Your Observations... Yes, That Smile from Yo ur Flight Crew can MAKE or BREAK any flight, Short or Long Haul..... Enjoyed very Much and Thank You !
I always fly Delta first class to and from Hawaii
Wilikers. I would rather have the amenities, than the friendly staff.all the best Shaun of NYC
I had my first First Class experience with US Airways before they completely merged with American Airlines, and I WISH I could do that again. The crew were fantastic, and it was only a 2.5 hour flight from Charlotte to Nassau. I’ve recently resumed my First Class experience with American, and I’ve had just about all their domestic First Class Cabins. Really, the best one so far was my 2018 summer flight (again) to Nassau. My Winter Flight to Miami in the same year wasn’t great, but they get passes due to the political turmoil that occurred at that time.
American first class always is sub par. Fly first 90% and I’m feed up with them. Live in the DFW area so not much choice.
Absolutely outstanding service rates high! It demonstrates genuine care for the customer and can make an economy class flight feel better!
Definitely delta because I’ve been on many long haul and short haul flights with them in first class and it was good
I recently flew a 6-hour Delta flight but it wasn't in first class. I was overall happy with the experience on the Delta plane.
We flew another plane for about a 4-hour flight and those screens in our row were all out of service and not working. 3/4 through the flight they began to work again.
The 6-hour flight had nice food and wonderful blankets and pillows. The breakfast and other food was very delicious and the flight attendants were very helpful in assisting us. The snacks were good too. The only thing that was bad about that flight was they said they had two options for in-flight dinner. But, they didn't have the veggie wrap as they were supposed to have since the front of the plane got first to pick, and we in the back were pretty much the last ones to order, so they gave us the turkey wrap and we couldn't fight about it.
Both of these flights were very well and enjoyable thanks to helpful flight attendants and the flight's entertainment system. I was able to watch three movies through the entirety of the flight, and was able to sleep for about two hours. Overall, I would choose Delta over American any day. Even though I haven't flown on American, I have heard bad things about it and choose to never board an American Airlines flight.
wobbly.muffins just because you HEARD bad things about them doesn’t mean their bad. I’ve been flying with AA ever since I was a year old (apparently) and we have never had problems with them.
Skoogy Woogy same man. Dad works as FSA for American and we’ve always had flight benefits (I’m now 18). We’ve flown with them ever since and never had any problems. Recently had a trip from la to euro and back (London, Paris) and the only problem we’ve ever encountered (and literally the only problem) was waiting at JFK for 24 hours for another plane because some dumbass really broke an emergency exit handle. We didn’t care that it took a day after all, we only had one gate change and it was the same flight and we rode first class. My dad’s and sister’s checked in luggage wasn’t lost and flight service always keeps us comfortable. People automatically assume it’s a bad airline overall, when it actually isn’t.
I enjoyed you comparing the two airlines, I'd have liked to have seen you avail of the lounges too though. If I'm flying 1st class, I'm arriving early to eat and drink quite a bit 😂
DELTA IS THE BEST I want to Iceland with it AND IT WAS FUN the food is awsome
John Whitam Have you been on other airlines?
Allegiant. Sucks
As someone who’s flown with delta to Germany back and forth I’ve had the privilege to see a wide variety of different planes, my dad is a 2mil mile flyer (a little too much) but he’s never been disappointed and neither have I. Having some sort of membership helps with service but even in economy the flight has never been remembered in a bad way. I’m a student private pilot and aim to work with and for Delta. Definitely bias but I love it.
I had a 1 h delay from LA to Atlanta. It was because the ground crew. They put dry ice in the cabin with animals, not good. I applaud the pilot for noticing & caring about everyone’s pets.
Alaska’s food is amazing I’ve had deltas it is great too.
The pilots r really nice I'm 10 and I got a picture with a pilot he gave me a plane card about the boing 717 I also want to be a pilot for delta
3:19 flaps *50
Tommy Vailes Boeing* and yea me too! Landing light on when you are on the runway ;)
I hope you make it as a pilot!
I’ve had ONE exceptional flight on AA-LAX-JFK in First with Outstanding Food and especially, Service. Delta on the other hand is Consistently good, maybe not quite as good as that ONE AA flight but certainly better than the majority on their competitors.
I’ve been flying for delta for about 5 years now... it may have its up and downs, but I’m still super proud to say I work for this company. Simply the best international airline of the US...
My dad is a gold member on Delta and I have flown once my flight attendant was so nice! she gave me a goody basket full of treats I preferably like delta over American on any day!
I fly myself. Takes longer, more stops, but I enjoy it.
Do you just flap your arms or? 😁😂
That Delta Chicken meal sure looked good. 13/10 for presentation
Love your content, man - you’re THE BEST!
With the amount of flying you do, I am surprised Jeb isnt working on his laptop instead of wanting to watch movies. Glad you are able to travel in style.
I find deltas a320s and 737s to be pretty different experiences, however I will say one isn’t better than the other, I love them both equally.
I have not flew on American yet, but I did fly on delta, so I prefer Delta's First Class
AA has entertainment streaming capabilities for entertainment through your personal device. 🙌🏼
Delta has that on the planes that don't have IFE.
The American Airlines gogo inflight entertainment has hundreds of movies and TV shows for you to stream right on your device. So no need for the screen on the seat.
My husband works for Delta, and while they do have a good hard product as you say, every 1st class flight I have had with Delta the service was rushed, they just wanted the in flight portion to be done and picked up even if you are flying a good 4 hour leg where as an FA you have plenty of time to serve. AA however does have a better service in flight because on long flights I always feel like they indulge you and allow you time to enjoy what service they do have. My husband and I love the warm nut cocktail service prior to the meal. It gives us time to talk and become relaxed and ready for our meal when it is served. Delta doesn't even as you if you are ready to be served before they serve you, they just come at you with a tray and expect you to hurry up and eat so they finish their pick up and go to their jumpseats and rest. I am an old Delta flight attendant from the late 70s, there has been a lot of elegance lost in in-flight services. We use to serve on china and actual silverware, ice cream with caramel and chocolate sauce, whipped cream was a standard on ATL to LAX,,,,,,,not anymore!,,,,,,
Love your videos and unbiased commentary! Great job! Thanks, and keep flying 😀
Oh man, just hearing that engine rev up made my anxiety shoot up. 😪
May I ask why
Being an aviation enthusiast, I love JetBlue Mine cabin. It’s the best of all. The crews are very on top of what’s happening. The IFE is outstanding. And best of all the food is incomparable to Delta,American,Southwest. Delta with a close second is my other favorite. I work at a small airport on Long Island and they fly their CRJ-900’s in and two flights daily. I service those flights 6 days a week. Delta newer planes are nicer. Their older ones are sadly not. American does the same. JetBlue does not have a plane that small other than the EMB-700 which is still to big. In conclusion JetBlue mint is my favorite for those reasons.
FlightExpert 93 My favorite is Delta. Their service and IFE so if the best. Besides d flight, the delta app is my favorite over any other airline.
Delta won.
One of the things I love about sitting in front of the engines is that you can hear the whine of the engine without the jet wash splashing against the fuselage to cover it up. I’ve only ever down it once on a plane with wing-mounted engines, a SouthWest 737-800.
I am flying back to South Carolina From LGA in Delta First class I’m at the front of the plane and the staff was great
Good review but my experience with DL flight crews is one of North vs South. ATL crews typically (not always but typically) are friendlier than Northern based crews (MSP, DTW, BOS, etc.). Take it for what it is worth but I have always felt that the crew friendliness took a hit when the NW crews came on board. Otherwise, I too believe the DL hard product outshines AA or UA any day of the week. Good review.
UGAFan I think it’s a merger effect. When Virgin America merged with Alaska, some mean faces definitely came over. Frequent fliers see these things more tho
I had this same discussion with a retired woman from Delta's finance department recently. She said the transition wasn't easy. Delta certainly had their work cut out for them having experienced the battle axes that made up Northwest's gate and cabin crews.
In my experience with Delta on the West coast, Salt Lake crews are hit and miss, but LAX crews have been pretty good.
I think Delta is the better Airline,. I would bet money that your crew was former
Northwest Airlines Crew. I find that the former NWA inflight crew do not have the same DAL “ Friendly Family Corporate Culture” . Good presentation !
We used to call them “Northworst” because the crew were ALWAYS so rude and cranky. The only reason we flew NWA was, at the time, they had the only non-stop from Detroit to Seoul.
Agreed. I've always had fabulous New York and Atlanta based flight crews. The Detroit and Minne flight crews are not nearly as service oriented and normally not as friendly.
Out of ATL? Was 99% chance original DL F/A'S
The former NW cabin crew could easily compete against AA' senior mamas with regards to indifference to passenger needs, and doing the absolute minimum work, and still get paid.
I greatly appreciate the review, while I am a die hard Delta fan, with a diamond medallion family member, I would like to point out some factors that may have swayed this review:
1. If you are going to compare seats, you should be using the same aircraft. This A321 didn't have entertainment because it wasn't as new as the 2016 737.
2. Although you gave a fair review, you were used to Delta, and flying American might have pushed you out of your "comfort zone". As a diamond on Delta, their aircraft are like second homes. So, you are more used to and accepting towards that environment. Maybe comparing two airlines that you don't travel on often would do the trick (Frontier and Spirit, United and American, and so on).
Overall, I appreciate the effort gone into this review, and while we all know Delta is better, you kept almost all bias out of it. I love this video, and will surely come back for more!
Airport Productions
Almost every delta aircraft has been fitted with IFE, not just new planes. So your first point is moot. AA has simply neglected to invest in IFE upgrades.
Airport Productions hi bye you're so stupid hello archive.org hello Cosatto
I like delta cause almost every aircraft has an IFE except for E170, E175, CRJ200/700/900, Boeing 717 and MD 88/90
Thanks for showing me this! i'll be flying with delta first class to disney world :)
For delta if you’re flying first class, in the airport you can go in the delta sky club room and you have a unlimited breakfast buffet of all different types of breakfast and there is tons of seating+little cozy private desks with wireless charging and regular outlets.
I’ve never been to US anyway, but I think I would prefer jetBlue. Watching from other reviews, I am always amazed by the hard product and the service by jetBlue. And the term of FIRST class is somehow excessive. Would be better if they call it business class instead. Just my two cents.
I've never flown, but I've seen videos of 1st class for long flights like with Korean Air...and their first class...is First Class! People get their own booth basically, that has a large monitor in it, and everything from movies to t.v. shows, or radio available. Seats that can recline into a bed,, and the FA makes the bed up for you.
There is custom lighting control in your private booth, and they offer a pouch fillled with things like lotions, after shaves, etc. The menus offer several selections and there is a large wine list. First Class even has a bathroom available that has a shower in it for those who wish to take one.
I watched a bit of the video above, and their first class doesn't even offer in flight entertainment? And the seating, looks like business class on the long flights of some of the Asian airlines.
So, is it because the USA trips in the above video were shorter in time, that they don't have all the luxuries I've seen on other videos of non-USA airlines where the flights can be like 10 to 20 hours? And again, I thought it was weird that they didn't offer even some kind of entertainment for their 1st class flyers.
stormy peak, flights that are not longer than about 7 hours do not have in flight entertainment. Mainly large aircraft, like wide bodies, have inflight entertainment, so ya. my dad went on a dc trip from LA, Ca and realized there was no inflight entertainment even though the flight was 6 and 1/2 hours long.
Thanks for the info. Still...it seems like anything over 3 or 4 hours should at least offer up a movie or something for their 1st class folks :P
Too bad. In Middle East and Asia, even the short haul flights are provided with decent IFE. Been to many short haul flights (less than 3 hours) and I am well provided with the entertainment. It’s just ridiculous that a major US airlines could not afford to provide this unless it is more than 7 hours. I mean, it’s 7 f****** hours in the sky with nothing to do.
i agree with both of u. i went on a southwest airlines myself for 2 hours and was bored like heck cause there was no inflight entertainment.
The chance that you fly on a AA old
Interior is low now a days I’m platinum with American so you know how it is but, amazing 😉 vid Jeb 🙂
Qatar new business looks way better than Delta first class
👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿
Hey American 01
Delta the best airline in US
Nope.
Yup.
Nope it's Alaska airlines and it's everywhere on best airline in the us
@@user-do9ki9ib4w Never flown Alaska Airlines but what I have seen I like it. I think the best airline was Pan Am. RIP Pan Am.
I'd say close 2nd. JetBlue wins as the best. Their only problem is limited flight locations.
Same problem, American A321 from Phoenix to Seattle, at least I had an IPad.
Too bad American doesn't consider the needs of their customers.
My mom is a delta platinum cause of how much she travels so I regularly sit in first class with delta and I had a similar experience. However, my 14 hour flight to Dubai on emirates was absolutely fantastic
That ain’t IAD, looks to me like DCA if anything😱 nice video tho, keep up the good stuff man👏
You should try the JetBlue Mint, it's like a long haul first class cabin, but on an A321. (Like the American you were on) Virgin America also provides a good first class. I like the Delta first class cabin better btw.
Who is going to be a Delta Pilot here? ^.^
TocyBlox hopefully :) flying for delta would be my first airline of choice
2 Years till flight school, then I’m going to aplly for KLM ( as I’m Dutch and my father is already a pilot there), if that doesn’t work out, Delta Airlines or Air Canada are 100% my second options.
Not you
i am in matter of fact i am becoming a delta pilot
Don’t think I’ll be trying to fly but definitely my 3rd or 4th option. I’m more of a traveler like my boy Casey Neistat
Wow, this video and especially the comments have really swayed me towards Delta. I live in Florida, so having Atlanta nearby is a slam dunk and Delta is also the principal carrier out of Tampa and Orlando. I will definitely look into their frequent flyer program, VISA affinity, etc. Thanks!
i’m a biased traveler living 2 hours from ATL i’ve always been very pleased with my delta and i also love ATL as my favorite airport

Jetblue mint
SJ Navaid I seen you in Swiss001's videos
Oh you're here too? Nice
mint is nice , but its not apples to apples, Mint is used on trans con flights. PHX is not considered trans con service , this is why regular f/c seating . Delta does have lay flay on their wide bodies. Jet blue doesn't have larger planes.
Mint is only certain legs, JetBlue doesn’t offer Mint on all of its flights. It looks all well n all, but I’ll never fly out of NYC so it’s meaningless to me.
SJ Navaid yes QWEEN
Good review but the dinner vs breakfast review was not fair ... compare roast chick to a breakfast sandwich? No. Do both dinners or both breakfasts. In flight entertainment is important no doubt. I think AA has free streaming on new planes ... your AB321 was not fresh out of the factory ... I enjoyed your review ... ps .. I'm an AA pilot.
Thats great. I want to become a pilot too.
No shark lets.
New American planes have sharklets .. I flew 2 of them last week (I'm a pilot for AA).
Yes new A321 first are amazing flown it One time with new interior and I have flown old 100% agree with you
Glynn Knox food quality no matter what should be good, in breakfast lunch or dinner, no excuse.. and Delta has free streaming on all their flights now even in main and older aircraft like the MD-90s (Just have to use your phone or tablet threw the free in flight entertainment Wi-Fi which has tons of choices)
Of all the US carriers, JetBlue Mint is the best 1st class. Delta One is great when you can actually find a route with one.
As a flight attendant with a regional airline, I have the opportunity to fly first class with both Delta and American. I've had amazing experiences on both. I will have to say I flew from Indy to Seattle on Delta and I will never forget it. Amazing crew, food, and flight attendants. I think it just depends on your crew, the plane, and honestly just the day.
Out of the three Delta, AA, United: Delta by a mile. Consistent hard product across the fleet, great wifi, great IFE, and the food is excellent quality. AA/United just do not compare. Some planes have IFE, some don't on those two. Seats felt more cramped (AA on their MAX product felt like Premium Economy not Business/First). Wifi on United was terrible, and mediocre on AA flights. Delta out of the three legacy carriers seems to have figured it out. AA/United seem to be trending LCC moreso than legacy
It all has to do with the crew and the product. Customer service will make or break.
Tate Tate agree, all planes are very confined space. When you have good people to work along w it makes it better but when you don't care for the people then you aren't able to put your best foot forward.
I’m a delta Airlines Customer
My personal rankings for the 3 legacy carriers used to be Delta, American, United. For me in the past 18 months United has upped their game and have nosed out Delta and exceeded American by a lot. I actually was amazed with United.
Only flown on American once and ended up driving the last leg of my trip due to a thunderstorm. All the other airlines resumed service within minutes of it passing but not American. The trip prior was with Delta. Great experience. Your video fits my take to the letter. I’ll not fly American again unless I have too.
Y’all wanna hear a funny story
So my parents made me get the Fly Delta app on my iPad for them since their phones were dying and we needed to get on a flight 😂
I was 10 then 😂😂
I have not been able to fly on Delta One, but I did get to go on Delta Comfort+, which was a great experience! We got extra legroom and the 50% more reclining definitely helps with taking a quick rest. The On-Flight Entertainment Screen also helped me get through the flight. There were so many movies and shows to watch! The seats were kinda the same as economy but had a cool diamond pattern.
On the seat in front of you is an extra pocket to hold food and drinks. I found the staff a little strict though. I asked one of the FA's if I could have a drink, and she said in a stiff voice, "This cart only has food," and kept going on with her job. The other FA's seemed like they would rather be somewhere else. So, out of all of that, it was a good ride. 4/5 or 8.5/10 To the economy class, if you DO feel uncomfortable in coach, go ahead and use a little more of your money to buy Comfort+. It's totally worth it.
Totally! xd
Delta is better
I fly Delta 100% of the time. I just wish they were more consistent with their culture. You never know what kind of mood the flight attendants will be in when you get on the plane. Nordstrom has a great philosophy when it comes to hiring for their stores. "We can teach you to sell but we can't teach you to be nice to people." I recently flew to San Diego and was wearing a sport coat and asked the flight attendant to check it for me when I got on. She looked at me like I asked to sit on the captains lap for the flight. But when I flew home a different flight attendant was so nice and said no problem at all and it was the same size plane.
