As we all know, American has become a distant third among the “big three” US carriers when it comes to both profitability and passenger experience. The issue is that American has essentially squandered the past decade plus trying to become less premium, focusing on a strategy of “the schedule is the product.” Suffice it to say that the airline has realized that this strategy doesn’t work (as have employees, customers, and investors).
In recent times, we’ve seen American try to become more premium once again, realizing that’s the only way to compete with Delta and United. So along those lines, it looks like American is considering reversing one of its most controversial decisions in recent years.
This would be part of a larger revamp of American’s inflight entertainment on narrow body planes. The plans also include discussions with SpaceX’s Starlink, and Amazon’s Leo, to potentially provide higher speed inflight Wi-Fi.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
