It took a crewmember about 10 minutes to get my wife’s seat into position so that it would adjust. The middle seats can turn to face each other.Īlways check your American Airlines long haul seats upon boarding. The window seats can turn to face out the window and still have a desk for working while gazing out. There’s the main table when facing forward (and a seat belt on the ottoman in case someone wishes to dine across from you) and the seat swivels. However I must say I still like the spaciousness of the seat, and think it’s really good for working – especially since it has two tables. That’s amplified by there being no overhead bins over the center section of row 1, which is directly beneath the crew rest area. These are the Safran (née Zodiac) Cirrus seats which were pioneered by US Airways and adopted by Cathay Pacific.Īmerican Airlines Business Class, Boeing 777-300ERĮntering the first class cabin, you see larger seats that are entirely open (no doors) and while large lack storage.

I walked through the business class two row mini-cabin in order to get to first class.Īmerican has several different business class seats. I turned left past the boarding door, while my wife and daughter walked through the galley to turn left in order to reach their seats. There was no one in the priority boarding line, though when we got through there was a slight backup on the jet bridge. But there’s no reason to board the flight 50 minutes prior to departure, so we made a leisurely walk over. Since we only had a short time for breakfast in the lounge, we stayed there past the boarding announcement. We left the Qantas first class lounge and headed out to gate 61, which is a good 7 minute walk away.

I was excited for another flight in American Airlines Flagship First Class after flying down to Sydney in the product, if only to have a fuller experience to compare and because with American eliminating the product when they start reconfiguring their Boeing 777-300s to offer business class suites it might well be the last time I fly American Airlines international first.
