Great video man! This is probably one of the most detailed and descriptive videos I’ve seen, your content is SUPER underrated. Keep it up!

Flown American 1st Class 3 times since they resumed operations. If you ask for drinks they provide them in 1st class. Some flight attendants were put off by you even asking but they provided them. Last time we flew in October - they were providing cold food options to first class, like a cheese and crackers tray or a chicken sandwich. It's not 1st class pre-covid but getting closer.. Great video! Cheers!

@TrizityTraveling 3 года назад

Agreed! It is getting closer, slowly. There does seem to be more variation in the crew morale/attitude on AA than other carriers.

@davidlazarus67 4 года назад

I think that socket that you had problems identifying is a 5 pin din midi socket for audio playback. You can get din audio adapters so you can have two earphones plugged in at the same time. It’s an old format.

@TrizityTraveling 4 года назад

Thanks for the info! It is an old seat...

Great idea on the snack mix. Must try that myself. Nice report Curious how Tampa zoo and aquarium will be for covid restrictions.

@TrizityTraveling 4 года назад

Good question! Aquarium had limited entry and wear masks at all times. The zoo required masks when indoors, but allowed you to remove it outside. The zoo also did a thermal camera scan before we entered.

@electricheartpony 4 года назад

Not every AA flight will have those little baggies either. Just for anyone who is going to fly with AA during these times. Only certain routes will do it. RSW-DFW and vice versa did for me. But not DFW to Denver or vice versa. And yes, economy will also have personal screens if the first class seats have personal IFE.

@TrizityTraveling 4 года назад

Interesting information, thank you!

@electricheartpony 4 года назад

@@TrizityTraveling you're welcome. I added a qualifying statement to the IFE as some planes with AA still doesn't have personal IFE.

@deannamaietta1761 3 года назад

Is it hard to watch TV if the person reclines the seat in front of you?

@TrizityTraveling 3 года назад

It depends. Some of the seatback screens can swivel, so if the passenger reclines, you can adjust the screen to compensate. I have been on flights where the screen does not adjust.

@airfreak75 4 года назад

DL announced this week that they will keep window seats open through January

@TrizityTraveling 4 года назад

I saw that too. Southwest seems to be the only other carrier that is leaving space these days. Wonder if they will extend their's as well?

@jiangni2236 4 года назад

thanks for the great video of current travel experience! I'm surprised about the 737 still with PTV, I thought AA ripped out all the 737 cabins with PTV?

@TrizityTraveling 4 года назад

You and me both! On this holiday, we have 4 737-800 flights and I was very surprised that 2 of the 4 had a PTV. I've read they are going to be removed, but with the huge losses the airlines are posting right now, they may have delayed those plans?

Do you need a special app to watch the movies? I know Alaska airlines requires the Gogo entertainment app to watch, wondering if American has something similar?

@anitamann1625 3 года назад

Did they serve liquor on board? if so, with ice? Also, if so, how was drink service?

@TrizityTraveling 3 года назад

I had this question earlier, and I think they were serving mixed drinks with ice. Small bottles of liquor and a can of something with a cup of ice...service seems to be variable however, so I can't guarantee this will be the case tomorrow...

I do.

@marishamcdowell552 3 года назад

@TrizityTraveling 3 года назад

Here's what seatguru.com says: one neighbor instead of 2 in "first" with it's 2x2 instead of 3x3, and 40 inches from your seatback to the back of the one in front of you...in economy you get 31 inches to the seat in front of you...8 inches more in "first"...the seat is also 2 inches wider...

@mindyjoslin7279 4 года назад

So first class right now is nothing but more room and tv's? So I should just fly economy for the price difference?

@TrizityTraveling 4 года назад

Pretty much....you might get a soda, depending on the flight...only thing you could count on is the seat being bigger and you can check a bag for free.

@mfrazier57 4 года назад

I flew AA to Alaska in August, I must say how disappointed I was in the first class service or should I say the lack there of. No meals and you had to beg for drinks. Yet they have not cut the price of the first class ticket. In my opinion they can't give me an acceptable reason for the lack of service. This COVID crap is just a reason to charge your for something they are not delivering.

@TrizityTraveling 3 года назад

I'm afraid you are probably right.

@TrizityTraveling 3 года назад

On my recent flights, we were allowed to remove masks when eating or drinking. I think meals are still served on international flights, but I would suggest a DM via twitter to the airline asking that question. Seems like the situation keeps changing. I have heard that blankets and pillows are not being handed out on long haul flights, either. Something to consider if you get cold on a long flight. Best wishes!

@JosephCompnotta 3 года назад

I flew from Columbus,Oh. to Las Vegas past August. The difference I saw was having to wear the masks. I thought it was rather idiotic cause everyone pretty much there masks off while they ate and drunk what they had brought w/them. Since in the economy only got water and a bag of pretzels but yet in the 1st class they got what they wanted.

@TrizityTraveling 3 года назад

Seems like service or lack of is at the flight attendants discretion or whim...This series of 4 flights on AA really illustrated that.

@JosephCompnotta 3 года назад

@@TrizityTraveling It was funny to cause they kept closing the curtain for separation. On the flight I mentioned the plane would not start so they flew me to NJ and a 2 hour layover to fly to Vegas.

I'm say this. I bought the ale seat and window seat for my me and my spouse to deter someone from buying the middle seat as alot other did as well. I'm on to the game you middle seat buyers are doing. You think you buying the middle seat is going to force the other two people who know each other to offer you the window or ale seat so they can sit next to each other. Nooo buddy you buy that seat you going sit right there no matter how uncomfortable it is. Also I'm the type to keep checking the seat chart to see if someone bought the seat. So you middle seat buyers buy the seat hoping the buyer of the ale and window seat buy other seats or pay more money for the front seats and leave you with the whole row. Ohhhh no buddy I refused to let you finnese your way into having a whole row to your self. U going sit right there in that middle seat

@davidlazarus67 4 года назад

Trizity Traveling Well some airlines have 100’s of passengers now banned for failing to wear a mask. For me it’s not an issue because transatlantic flights are impossible because tourism is not possible and hours without food and drink will be a huge deterrent to normal tourism.
