People usually pick on American Airlines. Doesn’t look like that bad.

It really depends. The old Business Class product, which I’ll review later, is really bad, but the new one is actually more than just decent!

I’ve only had really bad experiences on AA! But then I have not flown business 😉

AA can be quite problematic, but I especially found the new Business Class to be quite good (what doesn’t go for the old one, which I’ll review later)
