  • cuando viaje era mentira

  • es mentira cuando viaje en esta business no tenia tv personal y ra dificil de dormir

  • I've flown this new business class on the 777 on the ORD-DEL route. Its not a true lie flat seat like the guy says on here. Its an angled seat so it makes it harder to sleep on it. Every now & then, I felt as if I was sliding off the seat as I was sleeping which can be irritating. I guess its an OK seat according to American Carrier standards but poor according to International standards such as Qatar, Singapore, Emirates , Qantas etc.

  • @thewarsaw f off

  • Next generation? More like Oldest generation, such a piece of shit airline just as shitty as the people who work in American airlines. (CEO, etc...)

  • @TheWarPlanet Hey, Not as bad as RyanAir!!

  • They're like: "This is so amazing! People look at our awesome seat!"

    and Singapore's like:

    "Yeah. Your seat's cool, but ours is a 30 inch wide lie flat bed. And its got a 15.4 inch TV. And our flight attendants smile at you. Sorry, bro, but we got you beat this time."

  • It's not a lie flat sear. It's a slid-off seat

  • comparing to arab airlines...this is SHIATTT

  • the black guy cant talk :S

  • Why aren't these seats used in the 8 hr long LAX-SJU flights, but are used in the 6 hr LAX-MIA flights. Smacks of discrimination, as if SJU is a second-rate market!

  • @chencho57

    Here we go, discrimination! Second most abused word after rascism. You are actually right when you say SJU is a second rate market. In the literal sense of that phrase. Leave the running of airlines to the big boys and girls, eh?

  • @ballyhigh11 at least the ones that know what they are talking about... the black guy was obviously a TWA employee, who is now only being used as a token.

  • I know who I'll be flying with on my next long distance

  • Are you joking? This is a business class they are even proud of?! Sad... US airlines have to lear a lof how to treat business passangers. I'm flying business all long-haul flights and sure will never use this kind of economy slightly advanced class for premium price!

  • Is he speaking Mexican or Ebonics?!?

  • I am sorry, but I do not like this Bussines.

  • The best Business class cabin goes to Singapore Airlines... With 1-2-1 on the B777-300ER and A380-800 :P

  • seats like in my living room- he claims? Woah. I have more than 4 inches of legroom in my living room.

  • Could fit a bus between the seat and behind that lady's knees. HORRID HORRID HORRID looking seats.

  • HORRIBLE!

    They call it lie-flat?! I've been more comfortable on a bus for a YEAR than in that seat.

    Its too narrow, not 180 degrees. Or "FLAT" I know but that seat is just straightened out. Still on a uncomfortable angle. I wonder why they say American is CRAP!

  • These seats look like the seats of a day-nighter coach of the Canadian National Railways of 30 years ago! Nice the airline industry is finally catching up! But, I'll still take the train! You can have my airline seat and all the problems of air travel.

  • British Airways Business and First Class all the way. Lufti is 2nd, I fly AA to Ohare from Heathrow in 2 weeks in Business and from what i hear, its no where near BA business where you walk around the person next to you, not climb over top of them .... Americans need to get their shit together and learn customer service, not customer servitude.

  • Comment removed

  • @VibrationPack even inter-European flights on Lufthansa yield the same equipment as a domestic US flight. Lufti's 737s are held together with duct tape and gum.

    I've flown between the USA and Germany on both AA and LH and my experience was far more enjoyable on American.

  • @krispykreme82603 Once upon a time.... as all fairy tales start up...there were airlines that took pride in themselves, aircraft were clean, stewardesses (yes that's what they were called) were friendly and greeted you with a smile, luggage was free, food was edible and drinks free, and the service was on time. There were even first class dining rooms upstairs in Pan Am 747's with a steward in a white dinner jacket and fresh flowers, those were the days. Lovely memories.

  • @chloe7829 I'm sure American and United And Delta would love to offer white glove service, and upstairs dining rooms, and the works. The only downside is they would be out of business in a year.

    I'm sure it was easy to afford to be able to provide that kind of service when fuel was a dime a gallon, but now that airlines are paying quadruple what fuel cost even a few years ago at some airports, like any other business, there had to be some sacrifices.

  • @VibrationPack Well there is a very big difference if you live in say minot, to whether you live in New York, Dallas, or Atlanta... just because DL or AA or whoever isnt setting up ULH flights from your front lawn, doesnt mean that they arent good airlines, its so much easier these days to get to where you are going with 1 connection

  • I hate the fabric

  • They need to upgrade every class especially economy-AA is such a popular airlines that it's about time they star becoming as luxurious as emirates or virgin Atlantic.

  • PERUVIAN AIRLINES IS THE BEST AIRLINE IN PERU 

  • No security shoes??

  • looks good 

  • they should give Air New Zealand a call, they might give them some ideas...

    Air New Zealand new long-haul experience. Taking flight from Nov 2010 - check it out, bloody fantastic stuff, Air NZ doin some great stuff.

    Being Aussie I can say without any hesitation that it puts Qantas' sickly green and red interiors to shame.

    There ads are fantastic too...

  • Who ever agreed this new next generation business class seat should be sacked, its very poor and over time im sure the tables wont fit so good, the PTV IFE looks rather cheap, in this day and age of business class travel A.A. should of looked at Etihads pod style seat ...A.A. next generation would of been fantastic 10 years ago but not now...United and Delta must be laughing their heads off and rubbing their hands with more business class travellers heading their way.

  • all of you consider yourself lucky!!!! living in this modern day technology....

  • People who are comparing US based airlines to Asian and European airlines are just stupid. They all have different business models.

  • can some1 explan y asian airlines r better with customer service

  • déjà vu....... ftw SPACE JAM!!!!!

  • Please excuse my typing.

  • I like first-class better; it's has like every business class doesn't. I remember last year when I first experienced it on American Airlines, I never realized how much more luxurious flying with American could be. Actually, though, I wouldn't mind flying in business, but coach, I have a problem with. I know it sounds snobbish, but you have to experience it to understand.

  • it looks cheap.

  • i would like to said that us based airlines give good customer service like japan airways and thai airways brithish and international i fly one a weak and wil tell you the bes food and and services on brd thai airways japan airlines philipines airlines and british really good food

  • does anyone know what the song is that starts at 2:10?

  • @krispykreme82603 Your missing the point hear. US carriers fly mainly very old 737's. Lufti and others hardly have any.

    Generally, Euro and Asian carriers have a much more modern fleet and offer a much better product.

    You obviously haven't traveled allot if you believe that US carriers are better...

  • United airlines win the award for best first and business class seats for a US carrier

  • @bshess5729 Ok.

  • I'm very curious as this new C-class product of AA is. It looks very promising. I flown in business class with a host of airlines around the world and where comfort and service are concerned  nothings beats Cathay and Singapore with the middle easterners (Emnirates, Etihad and Qatar coming up close). This lauch with AA should be a blueprint for the other US carriers to follow.

  • very nice, i'm speak in english iv an if italian

  • it is still lie flat?

  • Yes.

  • looks sick im flying from RDU to heathrow next summer! cant wait

  • For all of you fuckers saying that these seats are shit you can fuck off they are actually very good better than delta united and northwest and I know I have been on all of them

  • Comment removed

  • Fuck yeah you go Mac.. I agree, they are not bad at all.. biz class is comfy!

  • i know man these shit heads are saying all this because they have been in business unlike you and me

  • Dude I sat in biz one time in my life.. it was awesome dude! The rest has been in coach.

    FC would be a dream!

  • one time is more than these people. yeah i usually go in first and biz when we travel with my dad because he is executive platinum with aa. without him we are in coach

  • i agree with you, ive flown bussines on JAL, which is AA's partner, and also on delta and NWA, american is better

  • Flown it several times already dont worry because its nothing to write home about but is decently comfortable.

  • ALL american airline are CRAP....

  • @jimmah55555 lol you havent flown enough then

  • @FutureMarine246 i have though. That is the problem - that is why i know just how shit American Airlines in general are...

  • bull. all us carriers are far more superior than all of the european carriers, ESPECIALLY domestic. look at a lufthansa 737, then an AA 737, and if you still tell me that lufti is better then you are one sad individual. even international flights are more comfortable on us carriers.

    now i cant speak for asian carriers as i have never been on one. but as hyped as european carriers were, i was highly disappointed on my first flight with one.

  • Are these seats from the 80's! next generation! oooookey then!

  • Comment removed

  • I am taking a Boeing 767-200 in about three months on American. Do you know if they have added this on since 2006 to the 767-200s yet?

  • The screens are only 10.5" singapore airlines ECONOMY class has 10.6 " screens american airlines hasto catch up

  • hey the music in "Taking to the skys" Is in Mac OS X Tiger Intro

  • The US based airlines are dreadful when compared to the Asian and European airlines. Ancient aircraft and cheap and nasty service / products. That's why all the major American based airlines are only rated 3 out of 5 stars by Skytrax whereas most of the Asian and European airlines are 4 stars or more.

  • I agree with that. I have been on European and Japanese airlines.

  • @zephyruk Yes, but where do your asian airlines take you? Theres a reason why Delta, an American airline, is the largest airline in the world, flying to more places then any other. 80, 90, 100 destinations just doesnt cut the mustard. Its all about going to where you want in less connections, something that the Asian and European carriers are terrible at

  • @zephyruk jet blue

  • @zephyruk We remember the good ole days of airtravel, people properly dressed, gracious service, good food, spacious seats and above all friendly staffers. Recently my wife flew Delta ATL to Munich, terrible service, old aircraft, lousy dinner and a breakfast consisting of a frozen banana and a cello wrapped egg-McMuffin type thingy. Never again Delta. US flagged airlines have a lot of catching up to do to stay competitive. And now the hassle with security. No thanks.

  • @zephyruk - American Airlines has airplanes that most of the top-rated airlines have

  • @zephyruk after 8 years this airlines will update there stuff then things will go other way round 

  • Shocking! This looks more like an electrically operated economy class (coach) seat! Only nice thing about it is the large tray table... That's about it. These guys have a lot of catching up to do!

  • Business class on AmericanAirlines looks so old and outdated, compared to British airways

  • They Put on plane the Howard Stern Tv Program On Demanad.

  • This looks awful. This is clearly not a lie-flat seat as the recline is not 180°.  In fact it looks like the ski-slope seat that it is, is even worse than Lufthansa and Air France. There is clearly less space and the big black guy in the film looks miserable. Thanks for showing this so I can avoid it!

  • well lufthansa is just spoiled

  • Does AA have this business class design now?

  • yes on 767-300s and most 777s

  • I recently flew on AA's new gen first class, and may I say that it was FANTASTIC. I loved every second of it. American Airlines Best airline in the world!

  • I like love AA I m very happy trips

  • Wow they still dont have lie falt seetsin business class united got that like 1 year ago

  • cool

  • wow i like the in flight entertainment thing

  • The oldest Flight Attendants in the SKY!!!!! UGLY!!!!

  • they need to upgrade there fucking logo!!!!!! and there airplane paint scheme. it looks straight out of stone age!!!

  • I am not impressed. Sorry

  • this isnt that advanced...personally continental and jetblue are the best airlines

  • It would seem groundbreaking, but the Asian carriers have been using such seats for nearly 5 or more years, and what they are using today makes even this seating technology look almost out of date. Still nice to see an upgrade in American cabins though.

  • Hey bikemaninasia, sorry to tell you but I just turned 23 yesterday and I can say that i'm looking pretty good, hahaha. (AND I LOOOOOVE MY JOB!!!)

    NK SJU cabin crew base!

  • Whatever you do, DON'T fly American for business class. Theese engineers came up with the most uncomfortable business class seat EVER. They should be forced to fly for eternity in these seats as a punishment! Get a window seat and you are trapped in your seat. You cannot get out!!! I had a miserable 8.5 hour flight on this piece of engineering crap.

  • should of said any Pilot & FA

  • SURV100 u sound little bitter over AA Pilots & FAs

    Face it girl u R not as young as u use 2 b

  • Fact is loser, that I was assaulted by a group of AA pilots and fake hermoraphadite stews out of O'Hare. Fact is you are probably one of the perps following me around. AA pilots out of O'hare are nothing but stinking filthy ass trash.

  • All US based airlines are the pitts compared to Asian carriers,even the crew are old, ugly and arrogant

  • sOME OF them are 20. twit...

  • AA sucks for domestic US travel, but there businees class for international flights is really good. Singapore or Thai doesn't fly from US to Europe

  • Unfortianatly. they should, though. Then our domesteck carriers would have to step up the service and quality to maintaim their share of the bussiness.

  • Actually Singapore Airlines does fly from the US to Europe. JFK-Frankfurt and Houston-Moscow.

  • AA sucks !!!!!!!! Thai owns!!!!!!!!!!

  • yeah.... American Airlines SUCKS!

  • Sorry guys, this is not leading edge stuff. The American carriers are still playing catch up with the likes of Singapre and Emirates.

  • american airlines bussness is LIE FLAT, NOT FLAT LIKE UNITED NEW BUSSNIESS

  • All of these posts have gone by and no one has realized that the reason that these seats are not the greatest is because you guys want low fares. It's either better product or lower fares, you can't have both! Another thing that no one has stated is that look at the situation of our economy.

    BTW, never had a problem with AA and those seats look rather good although I like NW World Business Class better...

  • Better product.

  • been on the new biz class to paris it was the best

  • Wow! nice!

  • Hm I duno whats better, BAs Business or AAs. Any comments?

  • Hm I duno whats better, BAs Business or AAs. Any comments?

  • Virgin

  • AAs of course

  • PWNED!!

  • ah sorry to bust your bubble buddy but america is goin into recession so its not really the richest country in the world

  • Hmmm...Great seat on Cathay and/or Singapore.

    Or a shit lame seat on American...

    Id have to go with Cathay...

  • u suck ur just mad because ur country cant be as rich as ours and have as good of food as mine

    USA ROCK

    PWND

  • As donhur says, your country is not rich at the momment. Anyway, stop talking trash when you dont know what your talking about. I choose cathay because the service and the seats are good. And GUESS WHAT DUMBASS!??

    IM NOT CHINESE!!!

    IM AUSTRALIAN!!!!

  • u suck ur just mad because ur country cant be as rich as ours and have as good of food as mine

    USA ROCK

    PWND

  • jesusrulesflight I realize you are only 13 but your comment was pretty sad. WHy don't you look up how many trillion your country is in debt. How many dollars a day are you spending on your military Campaigns? Maybe if your food wasn't so good you wouldn't have fat people waddling around everywhere. Epidemic diabetes anyone? And this still doesn't change the fact that AA sucks and companies like Cathay, Singapore and Emirates are amazing.

  • if aa sucks

    y is it the worlds largest airline nearly surpassed by fedex but yea PWNGE

  • Just because it's the biggest airline in the world doesn't mean it's the best.

  • people wouldn't use it if it wasn't good.

  • No that is where you are wrong. People use it because often they are cheaper than the competition. Trust me I fly an VERY regularly on many carriers. AA is by far the worst airline I have been on. The only one who could even come close is Alaskan.

  • well u are probably right there

    but ive never flown on american ever so u know

    ive only flown on vanguard southwest northwest and bout to fly continental

  • Then you have no right talking about AA. So just shut up.

  • Few American airlines can compete with Asian airlines. Apparently, jesusrulesflight can't accept that fact.

  • i didn'tsay they couldnt

  • The layout and design of these seats are pathetic! Do you people ever check out global leaders and adapt?

  • go check out Singapore Airlines :) They own the skies in terms of style and comfort!

  • I was on a flight were the pilots were screwing the FAs in the front of the plane. I don't give a damn what kind of seats they put in, I wouldn't fly them for all the money in the world after that episode.

  • Jesus H. Christ, why do people tell such lies??

  • I guess you never heard of the mile high club? You must work for AA. Pilots screw stews all the time, get real honey.

  • Idiot..I've been a flight attendant for years. Stews? what decade are you living in.

    Now for your information, it is nearly impossible under anti-terrorism rules for this to happen. I won't talk about it in detail, I'm simply just leave it with the obvious fact...you're a simpleton.

  • Your an uneducated coffee server. Under the anti-terrorism laws 9/11 was never supposed to happen, but it did. As for the word, Stews honey, I have had a run in with a couple of AA broads and that is what I refer to them as. I am not encompassing the entire industry. I usually say FAs. I have known pilots and believe me grabbing ass is what a lot of them do. You are lucky if they don't bother you.

  • By the way, just for your information, AA was once mob related. They even had a prostitution ring under Tony Accardo here in Chicago; I hear they are trying to revivve it.

  • eweryone is called David!! (:

  • C'est de la merde

  • i think this is pretty cool, the detachable screen and stuff and how the seat moves forward.. but the privacy's not really there eh? i mean, not every business traveller's gna be flying with his wife or colleague yknow..

  • American is great because its cheap, but by god the service is really not that great.

    My favorites are British Airways, Singapore and Emirates..... notice all are way expensive though. I guess with air travel you get what you pay for.

  • hell yeah its expensive but damn, singapore airlines's business is already as good as first in other airlines!

  • aa sucks because when i went to Honduras they did not give food and they lost one of my bags

  • never going to ride on AA again, worst service at airport.

  • UGH American Airlines suck, in fact all US airlines are so decrepit!!

    Next time fly Virgin first class. For the love of mergatroid!! You get your own comfy pod!!

  • You mean Upper Class? Yeah!!

  • yup!!

  • You're so lucky to be able to fly VA! I've been wanting to, but they don't fly to KUL.

  • KUL? Kabul, Afghanistan?

  • Kuala Lumpur. =D

  • Oh ok, I hear it's beautiful. I would like to go to Malaysia sometime in the future. Any suggestions of where to visit?

  • Plenty lucernrox.

    I'd suggest you go to Langkawi, and Penang(If you're a food lover, haha).

  • i love asian foods!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Me too!Hehe

  • i suggest u go to the escape islands such as pangkor,tioman and redang.and not forget to the rural area in the borneo such as ba'kelalan and bario.

  • wow, I can't wait for my visit to Asia, besides, ASIAN GIRLS ARE HOTTTTT

  • and i hope u fly with malaysia airlines.

  • ugh, this is terrible !

    it looks soooooo ugly, like a hospital waiting room !

    take a hint from your european and asian compitition american !

    there's no way i will fly them after seeing this .

  • It isn't even 180 degrees flat! This is a horrible product to be new as it is something I would expect from airlines 7 years ago when this technology started rolling out for premium cabin seats.

  • Agreed. It seems no American airline is making any effort to compete with those of Asia.

  • Flew the AA 777 yesterday with new business seats installed and I have to say they were awesome!!

  • please americain airlines emirates airlines more profesionnel in this step also more comfortable be easy ..

  • Looks quite nice in my opinion, but I think Club World (Business Class) on BA is a much better product overall, and they are around the same price range on most routes.

  • The simple fact is that AA can't compare or compete to other airlines business class. I will continue to fly with BA or Air France.

    And for the people who say that BA "are crap" well BA or Air France where the only airlines in the world that could afford to run a supersonic aircraft such as concord, so that really does sum it up idiots.

  • For those of you that dont know AA is one if not the best Economically well airline in the industry at this moment an airline that has never fallen into bankrupcy like other airlines have.

  • How does it look awful?

  • It looks awful. How the hell can AA try to compete with the other airlines if they provide such a dreadful product. Think I will be flying BA business in future

  • you could the best seats ever into AA but they'll still be an aweful airline. Get rid of their sky hags and maybe it will improve

  • lol...the bad thing about this seat is,it's like a confine space.there's not much space for ur leg.But the besst thing is,u can move ur seat foward and backward.cool.But i think Malaysia Airlines is better

  • as a frequent flyer, i can tell you that american carriers in general are crap. if you compare them to Asian carriers they are just pathetic. (you can have a look at the latest singapore business on my site) and even compared to European carriers, they are just plain bad. AA is probably amongst the baddest.

  • A detachable IFE looks cumbersome. Take a look at SQ's IFE in business.. now that is quality! Not only do you have a large screen, it's IFE also has MS Office built in so all you need is you USB flash drive! I always think that US carriers are a bit behind the times compaered to Europena and Asia/Pacific carries.

    Apart from United (who don't advertise it as premium ecoconmy anymore) are there any other US airlines that have a premium economy product?

  • freakin cool

  • By the way, the FA Julie is so sick that he/she actually believes she is me. She/he claims she/he is part of a larger community and has identified herself as a gang stalker. The weirdest airline crew I ever came across.

  • Yes, AA provides bad service while tooting its own horn to portray a golden image. There is a crew on this line that everyone should run from--the hermaphadite crew. I only know this because I flew a couple of years ago and one of the FAs hung on to me after the flight for about two years. Julie stalked me and is still stalking me. Unfortunately, one day, she/he lifted her skirt revealing that she is a true hermaphadite meaning she has a penis, scrotum and a vagina. Not a pleasant sight.
