Come along with us for the conclusion of this trip series, as we return from Paris with #AmericanAirlines in their Premium Economy cabin on the Boeing #777 200 (AA63). We have flown competing #PremiumEconomy products from several European carriers in the past, so it was nice to see US Airlines entering this market, and we were eager to give this one a try.

@random3802 5 лет назад

Hey, really great review! I love how you compare other P/E in video. Just a quick question, is the TV in the bulkhead row smaller.

@GilbertTravels 5 лет назад

Thanks and great question. From what I can see yes, the the screens are the same size in the bulkhead. The disadvantage there if the screens have to be stowed for takeoff and landing, vs gate to gate use for the other rows, but for me, I think the benefits would outweigh that.

@random3802 5 лет назад

@@GilbertTravels Definitely. The bulk head is the way to go. Thanks for the amazing reviews, it's always a pleasure to watch.

@garyeales986 4 года назад

Just got back from Paris on American Airlines last night (8/21/19), never again. We flew to Dulles via Charlotte and paid extra for Premium Economy. The seats are awful, the catering is nothing special and the drinks service is lacking. On the flight back yesterday my table was broken and despite the fact that PE was only half full, they never invited us to move. Did I mention the entertainment system (I've experienced much better in the back of planes). I've heard very good review from friends who have flown PE with European carriers, so AA have plenty of competition, and will not get my business in the future.

@GilbertTravels 4 года назад

That is a bummer. Definitely try another premium economy carrier some time and see what you think.

@JakubSemoda 3 года назад

Hey people's, can I ask you something? I flew once, but only in charter flight. So I would like to know, when I get that amenity kit, so I have to take it back to the crew (or leave it in my seat), or I can take it home? Thank you for very nice video. J

@GilbertTravels 3 года назад

The amenity kit is all yours and makes a great keepsake. I have all of mine! The bedding, pillow, and headset stay at your seat when you leave. Good question, hope you get to fly again sometime and get your own.

@GilbertTravels 2 года назад

Good question, yes sadly one of the drawbacks of Premium Economy is that the entire section is over the wings. 17A&C are not in premium economy though on the 777-200, it is on the 777-300ER. I recommend aerolopa for excellent seat charts by the way: www.aerolopa.com/aa-772-type-2

@davidbian2466 4 года назад

How did the food taste on this flight regardless of the looking?

@GilbertTravels 4 года назад

My food tasted good, a definite step up from economy food. About on par with US domestic first class meals, minus the real drinking glass and with a pre-packaged roll instead of warm bread.

@privateuser1264 5 лет назад

Between premium economy vs exit row, which you think is more comfortable?

@GilbertTravels 5 лет назад

Good question. Exit row should have the legroom. If you are traveling solo 2 vs 3 seats isn't as big of a deal. For couples not having to share the row with another passenger is nice. Basically it is the difference between a domestic economy and domestic first class seat in terms of space. Wider, more recline, nicer screen. How much do you value the meal quality on board? AA definitely delivered a superior edible and filling meal in premium economy. I think there is no question premium economy is more comfortable in every case, but how much would you pay more than an extra legroom economy seat? At less than double coach but less than half business I think it can be a good value for what all it includes. In some cases it is much more than double coach and can even be very close (or more!) than discount business tickets. So you have to be smart when to decide it is the right value. I hope that helps, thanks for commenting.

Yes, amenities kits from the airlines are always yours to keep whether you use them on board or not, I like to collect mine as keepsakes from my journeys. Other airline items though like over-ear headphones, pillows, and blankets are not to be taken though. Good question, thanks for watching and commenting.

@DVelez-wz3fe 3 года назад

The blanket and pillow are intended to stay on board, the airline will launder and re-use them. Good question though.

@GilbertTravels 4 года назад

If they offered anything it would be a sparkling wine, which they sell in economy domestically, however I don’t see that on the premium economy printed menu, just a red and white wine option (plus beer and spirits). So my best answer is no. Thanks for commenting

Gilbert Travels I’m sure he meant sparkling wine. And no, economy domestic AA does not sell sparkling wine.

I wear contacts and can assure you I have to blink if I want to see for long.

@arias07087 4 года назад

@chico4449 5 лет назад

I think what Americans do not have is the cultural sense of what IS first class. Not like what other countries do. Our cultural sense for the finer things have always been driven by its cost and it's greatly shown in businesses like our Airlines.

@GilbertTravels 5 лет назад

I appreciate the perspective and your time taken in commenting. I hope a service centered US airline can excel again. I never had the chance to fly them but I understand Virgin America was a true pleasurable experience in the air, so it can be done. Other carriers certainly seem to be spending more time training crew in hospitality outside of the US to try and attract their business. I know flight crews have a lot more training and responsibility than presenting cocktails with a smile, but carriers around the world have shown you can have great service and run an efficient and safe operation.
