Did they not give out snacks from their snack baskets?

They did, but it was like tiny bags of pretzels

Surprising, they normally have like 5-6 different snacks to choose from.

Yep. Surprisingly, that was it. And it wasn’t during Covid

Every once and a while, could you maybe still do text reviews?

It’s hard for some to watch YouTube…

@N1RG can correct me but I believe they don’t give out snacks bc of Covid now

A couple of things:

1: AA doesnt need a lot of counter space there. You said it wasn’t during COVID but even before COVID, the staffing that AA/AE had was trimmed down (At least where I am). Also, PBI is a small station for AA so thats another reason.
2: I have never had a problem with the e170/175 first class seats. Im 5’5" and actually have quite a bit of legroom.
3: That is a Republic aircraft. I can tell by the seats.
4: The flight attendants aren’t actually AA or even AE flight attendants. They are Republic FAs.
5: I didnt see anything about the food, the plane, etc etc.

I understand completely. I review planes not based on the plane, not based on the airport. For me, flying out of JFK in PBI should have the same experience, take that with a grain of salt., But I was a little disappointed, but of course I’m happy that I did end up flying first class anyway

Then what do you review flights on? I think if someone was to review flights they have to include the important details…

#11

For me, I review a 737, A321, and the 175 in the same standard. They’re all domestic first class seat. It’s not that I didn’t have enough leg room. I was able to fit just fine, but it’s the principle that first class should be more luxurious for how much more you’re really paying on American

And what’s that standard? A regional aircraft is going to be different then a mainline aircraft…

How come you fly first/business all the time? Based on the variety of airlines you’ve written about it doesn’t look like you’re part of a single airline/alliance’s loyalty program.

It all comes down to the price. On that route on that same day, the A319, with a better first class product was cheaper than the E175, and I find the A319 to be much better. For the price that I paid for that first class seat, I should be getting a much better product than what I got

I am a true blue member, I am a rapid rewards member. My grandparents have almost 400,000 United miles, so they fly United a lot, they have some JetBlue miles. For me, I really just fly whatever the cheapest is. Of course, convenience counts in the factor as well

But it was a voucher yes? So you didnt technically pay for it. If you wanted a better product then you should of flown the A319… Again, comparing an airbus to a 175 is comparing a 172 to a G5

#18

I understand that. You make good points. My thing is, for the people who really did pay for that flight, they, paying $600 to go to Washington DC, should be served more than a bag of pretzels. And, you expect to see the flight attendants a little bit more, but they had behind the curtain the entire flight.

#19

Some people might be happy with that… And how do we know they didnt have a voucher, if there work didn’t pat for the flight or even if they were flying for free? I just think someone that got a “free” flight shouldn’t be able to complain all that much. On top of that, again, the FAs aren’t AE. They are apart of whatever company operated that flight…

As I Think about it now, I agree. I probably shouldn’t be complaining. In my next trip report, I’ll tell you this, I’m not gonna be complaining lmao 😂
