Flying First Class on Every US Airline (Back to Back)

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator documents a 72 hour journey flying first class across six different American airlines to compare the service, amenities, and food quality. The trip begins with JetBlue on a transcontinental flight to New York, where the creator notes the benefit of lay flat seating despite an aging aircraft. The journey continues with American Airlines, featuring a visit to the Chelsea Lounge in New York before flying to Los Angeles. The third leg involves Hawaiian Airlines on a new Boeing 787 Dreamliner to Honolulu, where the creator praises the hard product but expresses disappointment with the food and bedding. The fourth flight is with United Airlines on a Polaris cabin to Chicago, which offers excellent bathroom amenities but lackluster service and food. The fifth leg is an Alaska Airlines flight to Seattle, noted for its good food and legroom. The challenge concludes with a Delta flight to the United Kingdom, which the creator ranks as the best overall due to the high quality of the food, staff, and suite. The total cost for the series of flights is calculated at over $10,000.
