    Hello there,

    Thought I would give some details on my latest USA Trip with a couple of different airlines mixed in. Trip booked with British Airways, I have BA Bronze status/Ruby OneWorld, trip booked in Economy.

    DUBLIN-LONDON Aer Lingus, nice new A320 well I think it was new as it had those new seats where the pocket is at the top of the seat like on the A319. The Queens terminal is great although the bus transfer to T5 is still a little annoying.

    LONDON-AUSTIN British Airways, at the gate I paid to upgrade to WT+ just wanted some extra leg room so I could sleep a little, flight time was around 9hours, aircraft was their new Dreamliner with is pretty comfortable, I also found it pretty quiet taking off. I also like that they automatically dim the windows so people can go to sleep. The BA flight is Austins only international arrival.

    AUSTIN-ORLANDO, A320, Booked separate with JetBlue, always impressed with Jetblues economy product, free wifi, great legroom, free snacks and soft drinks and a really friendly crew.

    ORLANDO-JFK, American Airlines, B757, for the first time I was given a free upgrade to First for this flight which was really nice. No tvs though on this aircraft but served great lunch and drinks.

    JFK-DUBLIN, American Airlines, B757, I don't like taking this flight as I know there are no tvs but I stocked up on magazines and the iPad. Although I know the route is being cancelled for the winter I was surprised how full the flight was, although there were lots of people complaining they didn't know there were no tvs, I suppose PAXs just expect it now on every airline. I would say AA have the poorest product on the NYC-DUB route compared to other airlines.

    Not new, just ex-Iberia with Iberia seats like the A319s.

    I've done TA countless times from DUB with every carrier bar US Airways, and AA is without a doubt the worst. Delta to ATL didnt have IFE on their 767 for one flight, but even still AA was just generally uncomfortable, probably moreso for you after the outbound on BA 787!
