    Got to fly the 787-8 to Miami (PHL-MIA) the day the hurricane hit last September…my original flight DCA-MIA on a 737-800 was canceled. When I had to pick a new flight I geeked out when I saw a Dreamliner option. And geeked out even more when I upgraded to premium economy (seat 6L). I created a KZread short boarding and there you can hear my excitement ! Next up. United 787-10 EWR-SFO this March. Can’t wait !!! As always. Awesome videos ! You are my go to now for trip reports. Keep up the good work !

    👍🏽Excellent trip report! It felt like I was onboard that beautiful Dreamliner too. I appreciate a good video review and I love to hear the engines roar, the crazy 787 hydraulics , the dimming of the lights, windows and no silly excessive music to mess up the review like so many other reviews. That Oasis garbage is such a disaster and cheapens their fleet. with removing the IFE screens. I flew on a B738 from DCA-ORD and enjoyed the free movie selection and EVERYONE on that packed flight actually used them. Now there’s talk of them returning lol. I recently flew on a B738 from DCA-MIA and the Oasis shit reminded me of Spirit 😂. I will definitely go out of my way to book a flight on a B788/789 soon!

    Super nice report. Very informative. Thank you. Will be on AA a few times this year. Looks a lot like the Premium Econ United product which we thought very nice. Seat and config is the same for the 787. We really like this product for shorter (6-12 hour) long hauls. Dreamliners are very comfortable in PE.

Only flew economy a few times mostly business or first but always loved AA and flying into or out of DWF is always fun. They went downhill years ago, so I switched. Maybe I should try them again.

It looks just like first class on some flights I've taken! Question, how far back do the seats recline? Would it be enough to be comfortable and sleep? Thanks for the video!

    Looking based on most recent trip report and my experience on American 787 and 777 it seems the Wi-Fi is fixed pricing rather than based on distance. So if it is very long distance flight, it may be worth it rather than short haul flights.

    I was one of the early passengers to use AA’s new service to Europe (LGW/DFW/SAN). I think it might have been a DC10. As I was in my early 20’s I used economy but on one occasion they upgraded me to business which was amazing for me. No flat beds in those days but the extra room and better food were a real bonus. They were a very good airline back then but I’ve heard not good reports in recent years. The First class cabin (business long hail) on this flight looks great especially considering it’s a domestic route.
