Watch this American versus Delta video to see which has better Domestic First Class, American Airlines or Delta Air Lines.
These two fierce rivals are slowly returning to their previous offerings. And on these two American versus Delta back-to-back flights, we’ll put them both to the test to find out what each one offers onboard.
You’ll see the onboard offerings from both American Airlines and Delta Air Lines. We’ll pair American versus Delta in terms of their First Class seats, food, entertainment, and service onboard two similar flights!
Let us know in the comments below which airline you’re more likely to book next time: American versus Delta!
Oh! And here's the 2017 Video...I cringe when I watch it...learned a lot about making videos since then...

I have the second highest status on both Delta and American. IMO, Delta leads in First Class service and it isn't even close. The only advantage AA has is their First Class seats are more comfortable and more functional. I do hope Delta gets back to better food service in 2022.

This past summer all I got were the pittance snack boxes. Back in December it was at least a decent, albeit cold in a box, sandwich (on a flight 2 miles over the 900 minimum). At least it's improving... I sure do miss the decent hot meals though. Even the flight attendants seemed disappointed in what they had to offer, but otherwise went above and beyond with other snacks and drinks. AA removing IFE really made me lose interest in flying them, and United only uses regional jets at my local airport, most lacking First, so I usually don't even bother checking them.

From my experience, AA is a JOKE in first class. Their fc seats sometimes don't even offer room for me to move my damn legs. And the food is a joke. NEVER get fc on AA, they are a joke. I mean it. I once flew Iberia's A340 in business and it blew away AA's fc.

I prefer very early flights, and Delta for me is the no-brainer choice. The early morning flights tend to have more normal, sensible people, and you avoid many of the audacious crazies out there. Also, the flight attendants seem to have a natural, straight forward, mannerism about them which I find pleasant. I am sure there are great flight attendants on other airlines as well. Delta so far for me, seems to be the most consistent.

The seats and entertainment were more comfortable in my opinion.

@philquinton1629 2 года назад
Comfort + and Premium Select on the 767-400's are different products. IMO they should remove the "Premium Select" name and call it "First Class" since the -400 has "Delta One" which is above first class on Delta wide bodies.

Delta hands-down for both the wife and me. We only book first class and only on Delta.

If we didn't have mainline Delta service at our airport, we might consider someone else.

I'm going with Delta, Jeb. The biggest reason? It's a people oriented airline. Their main concern (even in Economy) is the comfort of the passengers, not "how many seats can I squeeze in so I can make more profit?" (I'm looking at YOU, American!) Because Delta is so focused on people before profit, they end up getting more profit. And their service just can't be beat. After 3 years of being grounded due to illness/surgeries, I'm looking forward to climb aboard Delta to head to JFK, and from there, flying Delta partner Virgin to Manchester, for the summer!

Check in said a storm was coming and my flight might get delayed - do I want to leave early? My flight was hours away and I would have been perfectly happy doing some work and chowing down so I opted to do just that. As time passed, my flight was going to be delayed by 20 mins. Then an hour. Kept looking bad. I told the desk people to get me out early. They somehow couldn't get me into a first class seat on an earlier flight, even though I was booked in first. However, I was able to do it on the app with 2 clicks. I got home EARLY. If I stayed, I'd have been delayed 2-3 hours. LOVE This kind of proactive service and redundancy plans.

Having had no pleasant experiences on AA I'll take Delta any day. Overall I really like their service much much more, not to mention giving 2 thumbs up for having seatback entertainment! Big plus in my book.

I’m a Brit and always thought all US airlines really suck. That was until we got stranded by Norwegian and managed to get out of Newark to London on United in Premium Economy. It was a new plane and a totally enjoyable experience! I stand corrected!!

United had glassware on my Christmas flight, so I am with Suzanne on this one. Delta had glassware on my midsummer 2021 flight but I find it to be inconsistent. But, I love Delta and I have the platinum card to access the lounge.

I remember my first time, and as of now my only time, in first class and it was on Delta. My mom unexpectedly got an offer to upgrade our seats for around $90-$100 each, and she decided to pay for it. She was expecting it to just be bigger seats and free service, but we had these pods or capsules that I’d say was spacious. Unfortunately, I was young and this was almost 5 years ago, so I don’t remember the technicalities and what the food was like, but with first class seats from airlines in America, I might not get that experience again. At least for a while

It’s interesting because I just flew American Airlines and sat in “business class” and the seats looked exactly like the ones in the video that you said were “first class.” The actual first class seats on my airplane were a lot bigger and more luxurious. Also we had screens on the back of our seats and could enjoy a variety of movies. Snacks were also very tasty. I think I’ll stay with AA.

Seatback screens are a must have for me. I just flew on my first United Express flight a week ago and not having a seatback screen or even Wifi to stream to a device makes the flight feel less premium. I also don't travel with a tablet, so I would have to stream to my phone, which isn't as big of a screen as the seatback screens.

I've found 1st class was inconsistent even before Covid, and even more now. I've been on back to back flights with AA where I got real glass and mixed drinks with a snack service and the next flight I was handed my captain, coke and plastic cup of ice and the snacks were on request. The 2nd flight was also the longer flight of the 2.

I’d say Delta would be my preference, having flown with both Delta and American now, I really prefer Delta’s IFE system with a built in screen, nicely priced wifi access and a cooler looking interior! Anyways I’m always happy to fly with airline in any aircraft! Looked like fun Cheers🥂 -Caleb

Personal tablets are ubiquitous, so a built-in screen is not a valid reason to choose one airline over another.

Been with American Platinum and/or Executive Platinum for years, but I've been considering making a change since my home airport no longer being a AA hub. I've recently flown United First Class and was Impressed with them. So, for me going forward it is between American and United.

Interesting video. Surprised at AA's meal, looked very good. DL was really blah. Since I live in Houston, usually go UA. Wish you would have added them in this video. When I was young I'd go for the early morning flights....but being retired with not as much energy, I do flights around 10-12PM. Returning home, around 12-2 as don't like to arrive home too late. Thanks for the great content.

My preference is for early flights due to less delays and sometimes fewer people in the airport. But surprisingly red-eye flights are great! I’ve always slept quite well on planes and if it’s a work trip I arrive well rested. In Feb of 2020 I flew one of the last Delta 777’s from LAX to Sydney for work… red eye. Fell asleep on departure and woke up an hour before arrival. The FC attendant in my row saved my food for me and joked that he thought I had died. Just dead tired. 😂😂

I've never taken a first class flight so I was expecting it to be so much better than coach, especially considering the price difference. I'm sorry to say that I'm definitely not impressed. Besides a couple of electrical enhancements and better customer service, there's almost no difference whatsoever. In fact, even in coach, you usually get a seat back video monitor.

Well done my friends! I always give high marks for real dishes and cutlery. I also find American's first class look and feel more modern then that of Delta. The unfortunate thing I have noticed with American is that their WIFI on Boeing Wide Bodies including the Brand New 787s does not seem to be the latest ViaSat, but a previous generation technology provided by Panasonic.

Switching to Delta. I go with AA, as my upgrades seem to always clear, and price is better. With the new AA qualifiers, it will be easier to earn status on Delta. While pre pandemic, AA first class had better meals & alcoholic beverages, along with a better blanket, Delta just feels much more premium. Its that seat back IFE for me. Delta Lounges are also vastly superior to AA's.

The best first class in when you get upgraded from steerage. I think that is more likely to happen from a smaller station than from a large hub. When I was checking in at US Airways in Greensboro NC years ago, the agent said I had a long flight today since I was going all the way to Sydney via Charlotte and Los Angeles. I replied that I was going to Sydney to watch my wife compete on one of the U.S. teams at the Sydney Games. He asked for my boarding passes and tore them up, printing up new ones and stamping them 'First Class'. It was really appreciated.
