American Airlines' new super seating (not for coach passengers)

American Airlines has just announced they're beginning installation of their "Next Generation Business Class Product" on the new 777's. Those able to cajole their companies into paying for the upgraded seats will get:

- ergo power seating with 5-way motors - "lie-flat" seating that transforms into a 76-inch bed - privacy dividers - multiple interlocking tray tables (the Business Class version of building a fort with couch cushions) - "move-forward" seats that slide forward 10 inches, so you don't have to converse with the guy next to you - Bose noise-canceling headphones - tilting LCD monitor - power ports

and last but not least,

- that curtain separating you from the peanut-eating philistines in steerage.

The "Flagship" passengers in First Class will get all of the above, plus swiveling seats and personal sat-phones. AA expects to have the installations sewed up by late 2007.

I newly flew American Airlines with Rehlat.com from Florida to Chicago and back to visit family. I had seat 8A going northbound and 8F coming home (southbound). I will say that I was joyful with what I got for what I paid for. Since I was in their Main Cabin Extra class, I got a little more legroom, although I paid $35 more each way.

This airline will never be brilliant. You must be a paid employee. There are so many AA stink blogs. Brilliant is something it will never be.
