If you ever have the chance take an international carrier business or first class flight and you will see the difference. All business class is nice but the European and Asian airlines are incredible. Also hi cupcake 🥰

Domestic business and first is such trash by comparison. AA doesn't really have a nice product for international flights, but at least United does. Now the gulf carriers, they're on another level.

Global Entry is totally worth it. It’s $15 more than TSA precheck and you have to do an in person interview at the airport, but so worth the hassle. You get precheck AND global entry which speeds you through immigration when you return to the US. Especially at airports like MIA, the lines can be daunting but with GE, you’re through in minutes. You can also do your interview when you are going through customs upon return from a trip, at certain airports.

We just got b back from Singapore, and using Global Entry was so easy. It was two of us versus a few hundred going through the regular line. Edit: My traveling companion did her interview and it vtook about five minutes, at the office located prior to baggage claim in Seattle. She was able to utilize Global Entry as well.

Nice video, finally a video about an I.S carrier business class that isn’t about complaining and how “superior” European and Middle East business class

This is the best business class review video on KZread. I flew international J once and I had the same excitement as you for all of the fun perks. I can't wait to see more.

Way to go, American Airlines!! 👏👏👏👏👏 Very nice video, Jay. Thank you for sharing this experience.

I love this for you. I’ve never watched your page before but it’s great seeing you enjoying this. Videos like this are one of the many reasons why I make sure I smile at my fellow Black travellers in business/first class. I generally fly first and business and on my most recent trip, I smiled at an elderly Nigerian man in business as well. The man spent the whole flight smiling back at me as if I was his granddaughter.

Wow Jay-that was fun, flying vicariously with you! I can't wait to fly like that too. Enjoy Paris!!!

Great video. I flew in 1st class from Norfolk VA to Seattle WA on American Airlines, and it was a totally different experience . The food and service were very good. I will definitely do it again. Thanks for sharing 😀

Great video, J! So happy for you! 🎉✈️

Loved the video! I’m making my first overseas trip in February on AA and, like you, I splurged a little to upgrade to Business Class. It was great to see what to expect!

Congrats J and glad you enjoyed the experience. Got to fly business class for work and now that I’m retired, I’m still hooked. Flying Virgin Upper Class from TPA to London next year for first time. Great video BTW!

Jay, I loved your modest approach and enthusiasm to Business. I found it very relatable as, like you, I'm not accustomed to treating myself.

Global entry plus Clear is the way to go. If your regular traveler, I’ve flown business class twice last year on Copa airlines But my bank accounts strictly forbid it …..I do have the platinum card from Amex the centurion longe should be on your everyone wish list

"Thanks, my first time flying Business" was cute! As others have mentioned, make sure to test out the International airlines next. Quality and amenities are next level. Happy traveling!

Haha Jay, now you have experienced business class, it will be very difficult to do long haul in economy! I’m old and grey and have decided that if I can’t afford business class for flights of 8 hours or more, I’m either going on a cruise ship, or I’m not going at all! I was recently in Japan and got 6 solid hours of sleep flying Westjet business class from Tokyo to Calgary. It was totally worth it! I have not flown on American but their setup in business class looks reminiscent of Virgin Atlantic and Air New Zealand, in that you face away from the window. Not my favourite setup, but I will be cruising to Australia in 2024 and coming back to Canada on Air New Zealand, so we’ll see!

@@petervonkanel4963 If you do, consider spending one night in Narita before embarking on whatever plans you have in Japan. I stayed at the Narita Airport Hilton, where I rejuvenated at the swimming pool before getting a good night’s sleep. The next morning I took the hotel’s free shuttle to the Narita Japan Rail station, but I did not take the train. I walked down a charming street to the Naritasan Shinshōji Temple, which is actually a big campus of historic temples and gardens. It was a lovely introduction to Japan. I even met an Air Canada pilot who was doing the same between flights. That afternoon I joined my group in Tokyo (we were doing a foodie tour).

J, that was so cool. Thank you for allowing me to live vicariously through you, lol

dope as usual bro keep em comin

That looked like a truly pleasant experience with that awesome lounge, the food and service on the plan, as well as those ammeties. I flew Luftansa in 1994, Chicago to Germany in the main cabin we had the hot towel, an ok meal, amenity kit and comfortable seats (reclined a bit, but NOT lie flat). Check international airlines if you can.

Awesome review. I'm really glad you enjoyed it and hope you get to make a few more business class reviews!

Love this review. I almost always fly business/first class. That price was fantastic especially international! Definitely get global entry. If you have certain Amex cards, they will reimburse you too

I love the dry humor, agree about the Nintendo switch remote, and wanted to thank you for making my crappy day better! I subscribed within 4 minutes.

You gotta love the business class flights. The seats, the unlimited alcohol, access to all the movies & entertainment onboard. Perfection.

Thank you for the content brother!! I'm an Aadvantage member who will definitely try Business Class once or maybe 3x 😎🤙🏽

Wow. Flying AA business back from Heathrow in May. Hope my experience in business is just as good as yours!! Thanks for the video!!

I'm new to your channel and thoroughly enjoyed your video. You were concise and touched the important elements of airline travel. I'm glad that your travel experience was good!

Wow what a deal❤Love AA lounges. Its Spa lounge chairs , showers and free food are a must!

I think that is a wonderful way to travel!! Good video Jay. Happy holidays to you and Lauren. Hi Cupcake. BTW - noticed a "cupcake" on the video screen you were scrolling when you first started talking about video games. Hopefully you banked a whole lot of frequent flyer miles with AA.

Jay, I enjoyed how you explained things about traveling business class didn't know that there was a free pass-through custom. Would love to see the rest of your trip of Europe. Good content. Happy Holidays and New Year 2024.❤

Hi Cupcake! I hope you enjoyed the flight too! Thanks for the content!

That business class was nice!!! Thanks for sharing

Thank you for sharing your experience. You laid it out perfectly. I didn’t get that ticket through customs when I went first and business… so hopefully next time.

Loved the bank account set up moment at the end. Good Kevin Hart reference LOL.....

As an Army soldier stationed in Korea, I had a PCS move that includes a free ticket on Korean Air, they overbooked the flight. Had an early flight I had to run to catch. But they upgraded me to first class. The recline to bed like seats are nice

The smile on your face says it all. I will be flying business class for the first time this fall and I'm sure I'll be smiling too.

AA has gotten a lot better lately, while United and Delta have definitely gone down hill. Congrats on your first time in business. Hope you get to fly International First Class on AA before they phase it out. Do a deeeeeep dive on how points and miles hacking works and you could be the next big travel youtuber 😎👍

Even I have Global Entry. 😊. Love your videos Jay! Thanks!!

I have NEVER flown business or first class. This looked fantastic. Thank you J!

Glad to see JTHENOMAD take us on a business class adventure. I never knew such things existed.

Wow I really love this video! Great review.

Excellent review! I have two business class flights coming up. One to LHR and one to FRA (Both originate out of DFW non-stop). I'm already a member of the Admiral's Club but I'm excited to use the Flagship Lounge. Again, thanks for sharing.

Made my day.Thank you for the positivity review.I hope to have you on one of my flights(AA).Please continue the Airline reviews.Thanks

Love your wit and humor in the video!

Great video - International business class is amazing. It's been a while since I've been able to do that but for a while on Delta I could pay a little more for economy then use miles to upgrade to business class. Makes economy absolutely painful.

I enjoyed your upbeat and humble attitude to your first business class trip. I wish you lots of success with your channel.

Love seeing some AA positivity! I never understand the negative feedback, looking forward to trying their F/J options soon

Lucky you getting to fly with Cupcake!!! Looks like a nice dog...

Brilliantly done. Started following you bro. Cool vlog 🙌from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I travel for work and I do the same thing as you. Bought my ticket then paid for the upgrade. Business class on long haul flights is the way to go! Also, on a Business Class ticket, don't settle for the Admirals Club, hit the Flagship lounge, its WAAAAAAAYYYY better than the Admirals Club. Lastly, pay for the Global Entry, if you do a lot of international travel, because it comes with TSA Pre-check. When you apply, you pay $100 and will get a conditional approval after a few weeks. When you return from international travel (once you have the conditional approval), you can do the interview upon arrival.. takes all but 5 minutes.

Cupcake was so cute. Options are great to have. Nice to view your appreciation of traveling Business Class.

I'm jaded having only flown International First/Business Class. I enjoyed your video, it will make me appreciate it more. Hi Cupcake!!

I am so happy your experience was good.

Dope.. I definitely need to try that soon.. Great video..

That seating arrangement looks nice and comfortable. Hello Cupcake❤.

Jay! Glad you had a great experience! Get TSA Pre.

Thanks for the view of international business class. I will look into it next time. .

Very nice review! Loved you attitude and excitement! Great video!!!

Thanks for the video. It was very enjoyable. You look very relaxed and happy. Hope you have a nice time.

Delta One is still my go to business class. I try to fly international at least once a year so I’m okay spending a bit for that 2 week long international escape

Nice job on the review! Loved the little bit of humor you added, and I agree, I would absolutely have no problem with that arrangement if my bank account would let me.

We take first class/business if we are traveling over 5 hours. I can’t sleep sitting up so it works for us. We are traveling to Sydney, Australia for a cruise/tour in January and with a 15 hour flight from Dallas we bit the bullet and are going business. We’ve been waiting to take this trip since before Covid so saved up to pay for it.

I flew business class from Dallas to Incheon Korea & I loved it👍

🤭Impressed🎁thanks for allowing us little people to go on this journey with you☺️😉

That experience looks exciting. That's a bucket list item. $$$$ - worth the fly! no pun intended

Great video great information wow! wow! wow!

You need Global Entry, that gives you TSA plus easy access back from international travel. Basically bypass Customs

This was interesting to see the difference between the have and have-by nots experiences. I have a close relative who inherited a lot of $$$ and says she’ll always fly 1st class forever more. Must be nice!

I fly first class with American every time. With me being a large woman (though I have now lost 76 pounds!!), the seats are more comfortable. I love that my luggage is free AND I get it first. The snacks are always way better, too. When my granddaughter travels with me (she's 10), she loves it! Once we traveled with her parents, but they were in Economy (I bought her ticket so she would travel with me). One of the funniest moments was me joking with her that her parents were in the "peasant section." I was JOKING! But once on the plane, at one point she went to the back to find them. She came back up their aisle and said loudly, *"Grammy, I found them! They're at the front of the peasant section!"* Everyone up front started laughing. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself, J!

Hi Jay! I enjoyed this. I know that I can't afford this. 🤷🏾‍♀️💁🏾‍♀️ however, I am happy that you had the opportunity. Hi cupcake 🧁 🐕😂😂

This is amazing... l just got back from Paris, and I flew with NORSE Premium. I thought it was so amazing and it beat out both AA and Delta first class. But this looks like a great experience as well. I flew both AA and Delta International first class, but it didn't provide that level of comfort. Possibly depends on the length of travel. I will definitely consider AA on my next trip to Europe. Thanks for sharing.😀

I scored a business class seat on an AA 787-9 for later this year. Thanks for your uplifting review. Hi cupcake.

Ayo got to go to Paris to see ya girl, enjoy man

This man is so personable! Loved his video.

What a nice guy! Great vid.

You don't need to be rich to fly business class. Just understand each airlines loyalty scheme and use the one where you accrue miles through everyday spending. In the UK, we have BA's AVIOS which you can collect shopping at the supermarket, using their online portal for things like insurance and taking out a BA Amex credit card which gives you miles/AVIOS for every £/$ you spend.

Wow! You lucked out. I have been to over 130 countries and avoid AA at all costs. Even my friends who work for them say they are awful. I am glad it was a good experience for you. Hi Cupcake!

Always use the Admiral lounge and get all of your free food before boarding. They had a delicious filet mignon steak last week at JFK. It’s always available for First and Business Class passengers. Great channel.

Hi cupcake. Interesting video. I never flew business class before but hope to someday.

Hi Cupcake! Great video, J

Get that bank account straight! Great video and yes I too heard negative reviews about American but I have flown them in business class internationally and always had a very good experience!

Global entry is the best way to travel! I love it! I will never go back to not having it!

I had some e credits that were expiring on Delta, splurges on a First class ticket to FLL. Feel your pain on traveling economy after that experience.

I upgraded to domestic first class once and now that's all I fly. It's hard to go back. Obviously not as nice as this but definitely better than economy. I don't fly very much so I make it work.

Great video. Was amazed you got such a good price from American, wonder if that’s because you flew from Miami. It was way may (5 figures) from SFO. Looked like a great flight, glad you enjoyed it. Hi Cupcake!!

Nice review video! Thanks.

I thoroughly enjoyed business class on KLM, India Air, Turkish Air, etc. Surpassingly, I've never flown on American Airlines for business class. The closest was British Airway, flying out of Nice. Perhaps I'll look into this for my travels this summer.
