Even though there was an exit row at a bulkhead, whilst there was a little more room than a normal Y seat, it was tightish (a lot of the bulkhead people had feet on them in flight something I wouldn't do).
Soon enough the plane was buttoned down, and begun pushback for the hop back over to London. I noted where the staff sat, which was a new one on a 767 the flight attendant seats were in the isle. Now whilst there are adequate exits on a 767 (I was next to one of them), I've got to say "huh?" I always thought keeping isles clear was a key safety thing.
Now the gentleman in the middle seat in the bulkhead row started reaching for his waste bag as we begun our climb. When I reach for one, i'm building a GhettoIFE las vegas hotels discounts system. When someone else reaches for one its 9/10 times to use it as a biological hazard cleanup tool.
The chicken was edible if forgettable it was easy to cut and filled a small hole. The salad was fresh at least, and the addition of cheese and crackers (whilst I didn't touch them) was a nice touch. The cookie for dessert well you all know my opinion of that anyway.
Still the tray was cleared away another drinks run was done, and the cabin went into darkness for the flight. las vegas hotels discounts I took advantage of the darkness and watched a bit of my own non iPhone IFE (as there was no way the headphone I had would had reached the bulkhead.)
Daybreak came soon enough as it always does on a Transatlantic hop and soon enough I woke up to a dark cabin and a complete lack of guessing where I was (there was some silly reality TV programme on that made me want to ponder the meaning of existence when I woke up).
Well. Hmm. Yoghurt. That's instant pain in a pot (and all of you know of my love of fermented milk especially with the lacto now). The croissant was a bit.. chewy but warm. At least the orange juice tasted of orange juice (believe me, some airlines make that a challenge).
It was then a reasonably long taxi over to T3 and we were gated nearer las vegas hotels discounts to the terminal and passenger processing.  Soon enough las vegas hotels discounts the doors were opened, and after a minor stumble on the way out as people las vegas hotels discounts were taking their own sweet time getting of the plane as usual.
Overall: What was I saying about glorified buses across the pond in the first half of this? Feels like this again, except the equipment needs work – serious work – to bring it up to its competitors. This is a case of "can do better" here AA. Whilst the service was solid and the food products was good, the state of the plane really can't be excused when other operators (lets say United) tidy up their plane in all classes.
Just did ord-man/lhr-ord on AA. As a frequent AA flier, I have come to expect the dull amenities an American. My flights were both on 767 s and both had the old school, center cabin tv ife. I used my iphone ( non ghetto ife, I am new here!) for entertainment. Having never really las vegas hotels discounts enjoyed a great ife experience except for a quick Atlanta Chicago run on Delta, I have always thought the future of ife was in the personal devices. Maybe next trip will be on UAL or BA and that may change me. My next flight is on Spirit I ll be reading the seat back ads!
You are wrong on United. Their 747s in economy are ancient big screen IFE, bits falling las vegas hotels discounts off the seats etc. No worse than what you describe but certainly no better. (They re-did the front of the bus but not the back).
I know about the UA 747 s far too well sadly (I wrote about them last year). Those are on level of the AA 767 s tided up at the front, left to rot in the back. The rest of the UA Long Haul Fleet (777/767ER las vegas hotels discounts s) aren t that bad, and the pmCO fleet is better in terms of content.
