American Airlines - 777 200ER - Business Class - Miami (MIA) to New York (JFK) | TRIP REPORT

American's Flagship Business Class is one of the best premium seats in our skies! I was lucky enough to catch it on a repositioning flight from Miami to New York. This flight was sold as "Domestic First Class" and the soft product (meals, amenities) represented that.

American Airlines is the largest airline in the world when measured by fleet size, scheduled passengers carried, and revenue passenger mile. They currently operate over 900 mainline aircraft across 350 destinations. I used to love flying with them until they merged with US Airways about a decade ago. Since then I've noticed a drop in quality as they retained much of US Airways administration and corporate structure. Thankfully one of the areas that remained great is the First/Business class!

The 777 has been a staple in American's long-haul fleet for over two decades, and the fleet of 67 777-200ER/300ERs will begin to get retrofitted for the new Flagship Suite product, with older aircraft getting replaced for the 787-9.

This aircraft, N754AN was the same aircraft involved in the ground incursion at JFK.

Have flown AA’s 777-200’s in Biz frequently on the DFW-HNL-DFW routes. Last couple years, they sell them as “Flagship Business” so you get access to Flagship Lounge which is a nice perk. Agree, the BEA Super Diamond seats are superior. AA will start retiring the 777-200’s as they take more deliveries of the 787-900 ‘s. Beautiful vlog as always. Thanks.

You know the legroom is forever when Quintin's shoes could barely reach the end! I've flown on one of these seats in their 777 as well, they're pretty nice.

I met Quintin on a flight from Toronto to Miami. Super nice guy! An articulate and well round young man. Clearly had a passion for this channel.

I flew on this exact same aircraft (N754AN) from Tel Aviv (TLV) to New York (JFK) once in economy class. Great video!

[danielpenalo]

okay that was a stunning sunset departure 🤩

[mrthaiaviation]

Love your flight reports Quintin. Keep it up!

At moment 2:32, on the left side of the screen, you can see a small portion of this hotel Clarion Inn & Suites in the far distance. Depending on the room you choose, you can have breathtaking views of Miami International Airport.

Thanks for another great flight report

Great video! I love the cinematic during pushback, climb and approche. The 777 is my favourite plane.

[AmsterdamAviationYT]

Beautifull flight report! Liked and subscribed 🙌

[paulrom]

Awesome sunset 🌆 shot out of MIA! I used to work Ground for COEX at the TYS Station. One of our Supervisors suggested we should ride the Headstart to IAH, (an ERJ-145), and connect to the 777 Repo flight ✈️🤑 up to EWR Enjoy a great onboard Lunch 🤠😎 and ride the evening 🌆 ERJ back down to TYS! A great way to spend your day off and have a great Lunch to boot!

You know its a good day when QFS posts

[juliusnepos]

19:24 Woah you mentioned that incident and interestingly enough several days later the very aircraft Quentin was in was one of those involved

[RobMuir]

Nice video. Loved the nighttime views from one of your windows from Miami all the way to NYC. Considering the age of the aircraft used by AA, not surprising that it looked like it had seen better days. Have flown once on AA back in 2005 - YYZ (Toronto Pearson)-ORD (Chicago O'Hare)-LAS (McCarran Las Vegas) and it was crazy both ways. Our luggage on the outbound flight did not make the transfer to the flight to LV so we had to wait for the next incoming AA flight. The inbound flight to Toronto through Chicago left late due to a mechanical issue and our connection was missed. Ended up catching a United flight back to Toronto where our luggage would not arrive for another 5 hours. After that escapade, my spouse and I agreed on two things: 1) No more connecting flights on domestic travels, and 2) No more flying AA.

Kinda cool flying up the Atlantic Coast of the U.S.
