10hrs in American Airlines FIRST CLASS (Not what you think…)
341,918
Published 2024-04-06
American Airlines is the only airline in the United States with true International First Class. They call it Flagship First, but is it more of a Flagship Flop? With a price as high as $15,000 for a seat, we couldn’t help but wonder: Is it worth it?
Join us for a brutally honest review of this 10 hour flight across the Atlantic Ocean.
In this video, we’ll show you everything First Class from this experience. We’ll take you inside the American Airlines International First Class Lounge as well as show you some of the other places you can visit with an American Airlines Flagship First Class ticket. We'll also show you inside the Flagship First Lounge in DFW.
Once onboard, we’ll show you everything this First Class Seat has to offer, including its special “party trick!” Believe it or not, the First Class Seat swivels!
From there, we’ll show you the first class dining that’s available from American Airlines on this route as well as the drinks. We’ll explore the inflight entertainment and even discuss the service onboard.
Flagship First on an American Airlines 777-300er is a special experience and we feel so very fortunate to share it with you! As always, please never mistake any criticism for a lack of gratitude. We simply want to help you understand exactly what to expect if you choose to fly in Flagship First Class!
Once the flight’s done, we’ll rate everything in the First Class experience using the “JebScore.” We’ll also tell you exactly what we paid.

This first class is what many airlines offer in business class nowadays, so not a big surprise that they will phase this out. Who in their right mind would pay $15K for this? 😅 [edit: this is a good thing, as we can experience what used to be first class for “only” business class money]
-
My face when you said that costs $15K each = 🤯 But even that, and they don't even include free wifi in that price, wild 😭 Great video as always!
-
I can stay in Thailand for 6 months and live like a king for $15,000 so forget that.
-
Hands down the best flight/travel reviewer. Even keeled, highly intelligent, smarter wife, and always a great edit with great sound quality. You should teach a course to some of these other travel humans.
-
Hope you get those million subs soon, you deserve it!
-
love seeing you run/hop/jump/skip down the bridge to the plane and thought it was a little funny the lotions and potions experienced so much turbulence. Thanks for the new video. 🦋🦋
-
I gave a thumbs up just for the leprechaun kick on the boarding ramp. Love your videos. Can't fly first class often. I've flown United Polaris Newark to Rome once. Will fly United Polaris again next year to Sydney. Until then I'll live vicariously through you both. Keep up the great videos.

I love the seat and the desk feature very unique. I do believe that Flagship First should have Wifi included especially at 15,000 a ticket. Also you can really tell the age of the seat with that screen but it seems you do get all the true amenities of a first class and I hope that AA keeps the same level with their next first class. I’d call it Flagship Firstish

So excited. Finally. I’ve been waiting. I love Jeb Brooks
-
Easily my favorite aviation YouTuber out there! I love watching all your fun journeys and flights! Thanks for the awesome vids
-
My favourite airport to spot planes is LAX, huge variety of aircraft, airlines, and action packet all day and all night! And the weather and atmosphere is awesome in LA
-
Ha, vicariously living my life through this channel again! Don't think I'll ever fly first class or business for that matter, but still really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work 👍
-
Flew on this exact flight back in November, albeit in Business Class- completely agree with your scoring. Love the video and made me want to book another trip to LHR this year!
-
This looks ok, maybe $3k not $15k, no US carrier has a flight worth 15k one-way, 15k is Emirates, Ethihad price points. Great video Mr and Mrs Brooks :)
-
Always love your videos! You both do an excellent job and appreciate the honesty and great experiences!
-
You guys are a treat to watch. Wish I was as lucky as you are and travel like you guys do!
-
Favorite airports for plane spotting; ATL from the Marriott Concourse Hotel and DCA from Gravely Point Park.
-
LAX has been hands-down my fave for planespotting. Had a 12-hr layover there pre-COVID and was never bored spotting planes at Tom Bradley terminal
-
Thanks for a great video! I am flying the AA Flagship First to Sydney soon and this video was a great primer on what to expect!
-
Great video it is always a good day when you post
