Another American Airlines 787-9 Dreamliner review? Yes…after my earlier flight went mechanical, I was rebooked on the late-night 78P flight from Chicago to London in business class, once again on a brand new aircraft with Flagship Suites.
This flight ended up being delayed an hour too, not due to any mechanical issue, but due to a crew scheduling issue. It’s not that Delta and United never have flight delays, but it happens far too often when I fly on American…
The seat measures 21 inches wide and includes a 17-inch 4K touchscreen display. Power options are comprehensive, with universal AC, USB-A, and USB-C outlets at every seat, as well as Bluetooth connectivity for pairing your own headphones. Wireless charging pads are also built into the console, though mine did not function, which seems to be a chronic problem with these wireless chargers. Seats and lighting could also be controlled by touchpad.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
