I had the chance to fly the brand new American Airlines A321XLR from Los Angeles to New York in Flagship Business Class and quite liked the sleek new cabin and individual seat.
My 6:15 am departure meant a very early morning, but it was nice to arrive to a very quiet LAX. I made myself a coffee in the Flagship Lounge before boarding my flight.
Boarding began 40 minutes prior to departure. Stepping onboard, I found a swanky cabin with mood lighting…it immediately reminded me of JetBlue. The cabin has 20 seats: 10 rows of 1-1 seating. Stepping into my seat (1F), I found it narrow, but not at all uncomfortable and very private. Padding was excellent and there was enough room for my feet. I like the suite finishes as well, though I hope they will age well!
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
