FIRST CLASS with Delta Air Lines vs. American Airlines

Editorial Summary

The creator compares the first class experience on Delta Air Lines and American Airlines during separate flights. The Delta portion of the trip takes place on a Boeing 737-900ER flying to Phoenix. The creator highlights the responsive in-flight entertainment, the availability of universal power plugs, and a high quality chicken meal. While the physical cabin and food were impressive, the creator notes that the flight crew did not seem particularly happy to be working. In contrast, the American Airlines flight to Washington DC is operated on an older Airbus A321 that lacks in-flight entertainment screens. The creator describes the seat as terrible due to the lack of entertainment and notes that the breakfast was not as good as the Delta meal. However, the service on American Airlines was a significant highlight, as the single flight attendant was described as fantastic and highly attentive. Ultimately, the creator concludes that while Delta offered a superior hard product including better food and entertainment, the American Airlines crew provided a better service experience that compensated for the inferior cabin amenities.
