Another flight report from my US travels. This time I flew from Seattle to Chicago (ORD) with AA in one of their new 737-800s in First class.
A few points of note:
It was the first domestic F flight where I was greeted when boarding the aircraft. In Australia, by contrast, I'll often get a greeting including my name (the FA reads off the boarding pass) even though I usually fly Y.
The warm nuts was a pleasant surprise. I've only ever had those when flying EK in J.
The F cabin was looked after by a young FA so I'm assuming she was still keen and enjoyed her job. There was a senior FA (?CSM) who was a lot less pleasant.
The food was fine.
The aircraft's interior was a lot nicer than the other AA 737 I've flown and the seat was good. Although the leg room and seat comfort are well behind Virgin America's A320s.
We all got a pre-take off drink, which from what I hear, only sometimes happens in AA First.
And to top everything off, we also got a warm towel at the start.
It was like flying a different airline to what I got on the AA 738 from LAX to LAS. It'll be interesting to compare this to my next F flight from Chicago to DC with AA.
