American Airlines [Domestic First] sucks

Certainly no FEBO on our east bound flights in the last couple of days.

I am no expert on AA Domestic F but am in the planning stage for grabbing a flight in a few weeks time as part of a OW Award ticket.

From what I can gather from my reading the only decent AA Domestic F are on a couple of the trancontinental routes using the A321T type of aircraft. Routes such as JFK-LAX, I think there might be another one or two routes but not many. I have read a few flight reviews of JFK-LAX AA Domestic F and they seem okay to me. Time will tell I guess!

domestic F in the usa is perfectly ok! nice wide seat, ok legroom, plenty of padding. the meals are tasty enough on longer flights (not gourmet, but good comfort food) and the alcohol will keep you entertained on shorter flights (bad luck if you don't drink )

I prefer domestic F any day to QF's similar offering on its 737 flights.

I skipped the middle pages of this thread.... but did anyone compare the PRICES?

Its complete BS to rave about QF domestic J being so much better than AA's "upgrade class" (as someone upthread accurately termed it) if you don't look at the cost.

After all JUST WHY do folks do status point "runs" in the USA instead of here?

What does THAT tell you?

(A very simple/quick comparison) Transcon on AA...middle of their summer.... AUD$1400
Transcon on QF...middle of our summer.... AUD$2400

And it is NOT hard to find far wider differences....

. the meals are tasty enough on longer flights (not gourmet, but good comfort food) .

As long as your longer flight leaves before 8:01pm. Unless preferring a liquid (alcohol) diet, always pays to avoid short connections to a flight leaving after 8pm. 2hr flight + 40 min connection + 3 hr flight leaving at 8:15pm. Food? Not so much. Some warm nuts and a cookie....

I see many benefits of AA F over QF domestic J - comfortable seats, quick and very efficient service that continues through the flight, warm nuts, decent starter and meal (which you can choose in advance), great upgrade prices and decent bloody marys - but I agree the stars need to align in terms of time of booking and time of flight.

Been almost two years since flown, however.
