I flew a brand new American Airlines A321XLR from Los Angeles to New York in Flagship Business Class and enjoyed the sleek new cabin and individual seat. It’s not a perfect business class seat, but it is a big upgrade from the A321T seat we’ve seen for so many years on the same route.
I had to travel from Los Angeles to Pittsburgh and while I could have flown nonstop for the same price (38K miles, though not any longer since AA suspended the route), I saw that flying via New York JFK on the new AA A321XLR was an option for the same price. Booked!
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 and had some fruit and eggs before boarding my flight.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
