The question is, are they also going to improve their economy class experience and replace current domestic first class seats with these new premium economy seats? If they do, that may put them ahead of what Delta and United currently has on offer, otherwise Delta probably still has the edge overall.
Glad to see AA stepping it up; it'll spur competition in the US market for other carriers to also include more premium cabin offerings. It'll be interesting to see what routes they'll be flying the A321XLR with this more premium config.
Yes they are however I hoped they'll add Free WiFi Networking on There New A321XLR's All 50 of them but we'll wait to see what happens next with the Major US Carrier.
@@lilseedy_boi2749 Yup that is so true I can't wait til JetBlue Airways gets there Mint Studio updates for there 13 Airbus A321XLR's Seats for 2024 but we'll wait to see what happens next.
The most important aspect of an inflight experience is the hospitality onboard . New seats look spectacular but can we overhaul the experience as a whole from A to Z . ✈️
It's great to finally see some modern premium products from an American airline, instead of the usual 'look at our new product' and it already feels dated when compared to their competitors. This is really nice and will be great to see how it holds up inflight for travellers.
The seat looks like what JetBlue currently has in Mint on their JFK-LHR route. For the A321Ts, the product might be excessive for a 5-6 hour flight. Not sure if it can bring in the revenue similar to Flagship First struggles to sellout the cabin with full fare paxs. I do think the PE product is part of the market that will be good for AA on the transcon routes.
Looks pretty great. Though, when airlines talk about enhancing customer experience in the front of the planes, it seems the misery increases exponentially behind the curtain - thinner, narrower seats and sub-30" pitch on legacy carriers. Of course, the ULCC's take that as a challenge and really cram them in.
I think they mean they're full height when seated, as in they are above the passenger's head height when seated. Some airlines say things are such and such but are only saying that for marketing purposes.
This new seating style is luxurious, lovely, private and replete with IFE gadgetry, but will never be able to replace the luxury and elegance in service we were afforded during the 1960s and '70s.
one of the best things about dude is that he never takes credit for himself when he achieves something . he always respect us, the audience, and his team, and he is always polite in all of his video. we congratulate ourselves on this achievement more to come and everything to come""❤💛🧡💙 Let's we all just appreciate the content this man and his crew makes it's just a masterpiece imagine what's he's gonna doing the future ❤ I hope this channel never ends and keeps spreading happiness.❤😊
Maybe first try “improving your customer experience” by getting your planes on time, reducing your heinous overbooking practices, reducing cancellations, bringing back IFE to all/most economy cabins. Maybe start there first.
I would want those winglets on the premium economy to be able to move out of the way. If you are traveling with someone you know, you will have to lean forward to talk. This will mean the two people sitting next to you will lean forward and then leans back causes them to make all three seats move. Very annoying.
You barely can hear anything on an airplane anyways. Plus I hate sitting around chatty people on flights anyways so maybe that’s a good thing you won’t be able to chat. Flying is for relaxation.
Fantastic! AA has been known for their outdated and uncomfortable cabin. As a frequent one world member I am certainly looking forward to have the actual experience? Kudos to AA…I hope they won’t disappoint me?
While Boeing will need 5 years to make money with their B787, Airbus will make a hit with the A321 XLR. With a small investment. Another great move from Airbus
My question... which routes/air crafts will have to new business class. I will be flying to Europe from DFW Aug 2024, and I sure would like to be in their new business class
The second suite photo is so confusing because the head position of the seat is closer to the aisle and the photos before and after as well as Simple Flying described it would be the other way around
These seats look like they are the same model from the new A321LRs Jet blue has on their planes. At least from the premium cabins And the 787 version looks like a very similar seat to the customized version Qatar airways has on their new 787s, which for the Americas is a really competitive business seat IMO
Looks fantastic. Will the A321xlr have an all premium layout? I know that BA had an A320 with all premium from Heathrow to JFK via Shannon that was given the same flight number that concorde had. With the 321xlr, American would have much more premium only flight options to alot more long haul destinations in that layout.
it was a A318 using the old concorde's BA01 callsign and its epic, And I assume not as they couldnt afford to loose customers for some little premium seats in their newest jets I guess?
Are the american airlines 787-9 dreamliners are coming back to LAX for a pre pandemic international flights? Because terminal 4 at LAX are under construction so they get prepare for 2028 olympics.
@@brawnbenson552 they literally stopped one row ahead of me, shrugged and said “we’re out, we’re changing the cart folks!” Then rolled back to the galley and we’re on their phones for the remaining 2 hours of the flight. I’m an FA in the Middle East and on 90+ min flights we do full meal service with tea and coffee, I’m sure giving a biscoff cookie is not as hard
It's a step down from the 1st class transcon product they offered domestically on the 321-T. The seat will be a step up but the service and amenities will be a step down. It will also be a step down from the International First Class Product offered internationally.
@@_1Brick1_ They are scrapping "Flagship First" company-wide. They will eliminate it on the 777-300 as well. It's a cost-saving measure. The idea is, they can eliminate ANOTHER flight attendant for all the routes that have Flagship First and unify it to a Flagship Suite (Business Class). They eliminated a Flight Attendant for pandemic reasons already, they get to eliminate 2 by switching out the service. They can also eliminate an entire cart pack from catering. So the catering that the 777-300 gets will be the same as the 777-200 and the pack on the 321 Transcon will also have the same pack. So catering at DFW, MIA, JFK, LAX, SNA and SFO will remove the entire Flagship First menu, making it cheaper only having to pack domestic 1st and MC/Flagship Suite-international Premium economy and international MC (and hawaii). That means the plated food will be the same pre-plated food in BC, the stemware will be gone, the high-end wine choices will be gone, and the plating and table linens will be the same as BC. It also means they can remove an entire galley from both aircraft to make room for more seats. They have an extra galley dedicated to just Flagship First on the 777-300 and the 321T. Taking out that galley makes each aircraft lighter which saves money, and having more seats makes money. They may give the menu a makeover to roll out with the new suites but it's going to be the same Business Class product.
All fine and good, but where will they be used? In April I flew DFW to LIM in Business on an A321. It was a seven hour flight, and it was awful. The seat had poor pitch, no leg rest, limited recline and the seat cushion was very, very hard. In short, the flight was extremely uncomfortable - and remember, I was in business class. The catering was also woefully small and very limited, and again, inadequate for seven hours' flight time. This hard and soft product might be okay for a 3 hour domestic leg, but they were deplorably inadequate for such a long flight. But AA insist on putting the A321s on these longer international sectors. I have repeat business trips to LIM coming up. I will NOT be choosing AA for them.
Why are we are kidding ourselves? Let's just call it what it is, First, Buisness & Coach. This way all the confusion goes away with labels like "premium economy" and people know exactly what they are getting.
the premium Flagship® Suites should feature on AAs entire fleet of B777-300 ER & B787-10 as well . . . B777-200 ER operating international long haul might get the Flagship® Suite as well . . . the new Premium Economy is as good as any Business Class . . . AA is the largest full service airline (including subsidiaries) in the world for a reason . . .
Can we have a look at the economy product in the narrow sardine can? As usual airlines don't give a damn about passengers, who can't afford to use premium product, but cattle class. I know, I know, I know, you get what you pay for.
Gonna take too long for them to put this into the fleet. 2024? By then this could look outdated with the newest fad in the airline industry being something else like bunk beds ects.
Very nice, but long haul on a narrow body aircraft? The A320 or A220? Good for the airline, BAD for the passengers! Yeah, I'm sure 10-12 hours like that would be great. NOT!!
I think that there has been no consideration for People with Disabilities. What is the consideration individuals for people that transfer from their wheelchair. There needs to be some real changes in thinking if we are going to be truly barrier free for all people. Is the Accessible Parking on the plane? There is a legal requirement at the airport, why do airlines get to ignore it on planes. With existing, tested and approved technology, a wheelchair space is easily achievable. Slightly reduced profits is not an acceptable reason. Please, if you concur, bring up the question to airline employees on your next flight. If we all start asking questions the grass will grow roots!
You must never been in an airplane. There’s no accessible parking. You can’t park a damn wheelchair on a plane that’s dangerous. They have working in place to wheel handicap people to there seats first assisted. Then they let the rest of the passengers on. They are met at their destination with another assistant to help them off the plane.
@@_1Brick1_ the current aircraft can be modified to have people in power wheelchairs stay in those chairs. Delta Airlines has completed the design. As for flying, I have been flying for a lot if years. I travel multiple times a year on aircraft. Every other form of transportation has accomplished having power chairs. The Airline industry has push safety and now that is not valid.
