It's flown in a 762. Its called the Flagship service. There's only 10 seats in the cabin. 2-1-2 configuration. They are leather sloping recliners, not fully flat. Entertainment is a Samsung tablet and Bose Headphones. The service and food are excellent, not as good as QF F but significantly better than QF J.
I thoroughly enjoyed my AA F trips this year and would be happy to fly them again.

I agree with the princess - although the red eye is not nearly as nice as the daytime flights. If you can switch I would.

Hi wayne, have sat in 2D, 3D and 3H ( with J vacant )
I heard 2D fondly referred to as "The Throne" by the AA crew. I wouldn't be overly enthused at sitting here again. During boarding the business and coach passengers on the H and J seats have to walk across the front of your seat to access the aisle. At times it's quite a struggle to prevent your Mimosa from ending up in your lap
3D is a great solo seat, none of the boarding issues and just as much room. Either of the window pairs would be fine for a couple.
Here's a leg room shot from 3J

And here's a gratuitous shot of the famous AA sundae


Sadly I have a wealth of photos and menus from the TR's that never seem to get written

Great info Fiona thanks, and the photos are good. Dr H (she who must be obeyed), noticed the bag she has the same one, and loves it ,we picked it up in NY. I bet the Ice Cream was low cal

The orginal "Kirk" seat was indeed 2D - there was no 3D. Now 2D has been moved forward to allow 3D. I reckon 3D is the new Kirk as all other First seats are arrayed around.
