American Airlines Business Class does not meet the standard it should when compared with Japan Airlines, Qatar Airways, or Air France. The flight attendants often appear disengaged and fatigued, with forced smiles, noticeable attitude, and occasional rudeness. Food options are subpar, the overall ambiance feels cheap and outdated, and the cabin design reflects a past era rather than current premium expectations. Lastly, the aircraft itself felt old and uncomfortable. Overall, the experience is not competitive with what peer airlines are offering today.

The flights were on time and the cabin crew were very nice. The only downside was that the food was not good
I like the intention and service of the flight crew. Japanese values were observed and appreciated as a customer.
Excellent service, excellent food and beverage options, plenty of legroom
Underpricer is a terrible third party service that couldn’t change three letters on my boarding pass in time to make a flight. It cost me tons of money to have to buy a new ticket with JAL. I’m extremely let down with Kayak using such a sketchy company with horrific customer service.
Check in procedure is harder than with other airlines, infotainment system is outdated
I liked- timely took the take off I disliked- food for ANML was not served even after request, ASVML was really bad, the cleanliness of seats were not up to satisfactory level and I had to use my own sanitizer. Even basic sanitizer packs were not served, cabin crew could be more friendly as I noticed their behavior against other fellow passangers who were not speaking English well.
It was okay, short flight so nothing much to comment.
The crew was attentive and provided everything I needed. The business class food was excellent.
Fantastic flight company. A higher standard than any American airline company for sure.
It was amazing. I had several upgraded seats on my flight out. Everything went smooth with no delays.
They never clean the toilet, and the food is worse
Flight left on time and we arrived 25 minutes early! There was a gate available when we arrived so early on a busy Sunday afternoon! Flight attendants came around twice with the drinks cart.
I couldn’t make my first flight due to weather delays trapping us in the town we were in. Then I had to buy a new ticket
Provide some Asian movies.....Chinese or Taiwan or some of the International films winners and better documentaries
Much better than Spirit. I was please by the easy fast check in and boarding
Crew was great. 2 1/2 hour delay was due to staff needing "rest" was avoidable and self inflicted as United not willing to hire enough crew to keep flight on time.. Ridiculous. The crew and the passengers both suffered due to this.
In overall it was a good experience, the only down point was that the entertainment screen was working properly.
This Japanese airline provides great service and very helpful in assisting their passengers.
After a delay at the gate, C3, at Ohare on Sunday, I left my Blk ski coat on the bench at the gate, lost! Please review my lob claim, thx.
