That’s true in the US, no lounge access (not that many of them are worth it often!).
Also you have the odd situation where the airlines own status holders don’t get lounge access either - so if you are on a AA domestic flight AAdvantage status holders get no lounge access, but equivalent level status holders of other oneworld airlines do get lounge access.
Wow a MD-90? I thought all US carriers had retired them. I bet it was quiet in first class, but can’t say same for people in last couple of rows in back.
On short final when they’d throttled back to landing speed it sounded like the engines had just died. First class was super quiet and I could only hear the engines if I listened for them. Very unique ezpirejce and I’m glad I could have it.
Because it was super affordable and this was most likely my only chance to fly first class on any major carrier ever since most of my flying and my future work plans are on budget carriers
You are going to say priority boarding and a screen and bit of leg room you can get at a emergency exit it’s main focus is targeting business men and women commuters
It depends. In europe, no, not at all. In America, yes the hard product is much better than economy (DL/UA on par while American continues it’s densification making it worse). In fact on UA they have a custom design seat with granite cocktail tables as opposed to DL/AA’s more generic seats.
I’ve flown Delta Economy and I’ve flown Delta First Class and speaking from personal expierence first class even in a 59 minute hop is still incredible!
