We’ve seen a recent trend whereby airlines have introduced a “business class plus” product, taking advantage of the extra space in the first row of business class, to create a differentiated experience.
Along those lines, American recently rolled out a new business class product on newly delivered Boeing 787-9s. For the first time (well, unless we’re gong to go back to the US Airways A330 days), the airline has introduced a “business class plus” product, known as Flagship Suite Preferred.
I recently took my first flight in American’s new business class. While I didn’t fly in the Flagship Suite Preferred seat, I figured I’d share my impressions, as I took a brief look at the seat.
In this post:
American’s new business class seat is a customized version of the Adient Ascent product, which you’ll also find on Qatar Airways and Hawaiian Airlines.
While all the seats are comfortable, American has a special business class product in the front row of each cabin, known as Flagship Suite Preferred. Note that on newly delivered 787-9s, you’ll find these at seats 1A, 1L, 2D, 2H, 10D, 10H, 10L, and 11A.
