Wednesday newsletters always feature a hotel and/or flight review. Today (March 25, 2015): Trip report: American Airlines Boeing 777-300ER (77W) Business Class Los Angeles (LAX) to London (LHR). On March 20th 2015, I flew in a new Boeing 777-300ER of American Airlines (AA) from Los Angeles (LAX) to London (LHR). The Boeing 777-300ER is AA’s largest wide-body plane and is currently being introduced in AA’s fleet to replace its older wide-bodies. AA currently operates them on selected routes to and from the United States. The overall experience was brilliant, with a new cabin interior, updated amenities, onboard WiFi, and very comfortable lie flat seats. This is currently the single best Business Class product to fly across the pond (although British Airways’ Airbus A380 Business Class is not bad either). For my trip report of American Airlines’ Boeing 777-300ER First Class product (London … [Read more...] about American Airlines B777-300ER Business Class LAX to LHR

Wednesday newsletters always feature a hotel and/or flight review. Today (March 30, 2016): Trip report: American Airlines Boeing 777-300ER (77W) First Class overnight New York (JFK) to London (LHR). On November 4th 2015, I flew in a Boeing 777-300ER (B77W) of American Airlines (AA) overnight from New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK) to London’s Heathrow Airport (LHR) in the First Class cabin (click here to read my trip report of a day flight on the same route). For this particular flight, I had booked a Business Class ticket and used one of my AAdvantage systemwide upgrades to get a seat into AA’s First Class cabin. AAdvantage is AA’s loyalty program, which I still consider to be the best in the world (read here why), despite the fact that it devaluated last week. The B77W is currently AA’s largest wide-body plane. As of today, AA owns 27 of these … [Read more...] about American Airlines B777-300ER First Class New York to London

My Flight: American Airlines Business Class review from London to Miami B777-300
I have recently travelled to Mexico and chose to fly with American Airlines from London Heathrow to Miami as it offered the best connection times, good value and I was keen to try its long haul business class product (having been quite impressed with its ‘transcontinental’ service between New York and San Francisco a couple of years ago). Here is how my flight went. Check-in Check in area at London Heathrow, Terminal 3. The flight departed from Heathrow Terminal 3 (and interestingly, there was never a mention of the terminal on American’s pre-flight emails). I had seen this ‘flagship check-in’ area a few times and knew where to go. On arrival, there were 3 passengers waiting to be checked in and 3 agents on duty. I waited a good 10 minutes before my turn came and had what could be described as the most bizarre check in ever. Instead of what would be a normal ‘Hello, where you are flying to today? How many bags? Can I have your passport?’, I was … [Read more...] about My Flight: American Airlines Business Class review from London to Miami B777-300
