| Flight Experience
American operates a Boeing 777 and 787 to Europe. Business class is arranged in a 1-2-1 reverse herringbone cabin layout on the 777. On the 787, the cabin layout is 1-2-1 and some seats are rear facing. Many consider the 777 to be a nicer experience.
Regardless of aircraft, each seat will be lie-flat and have direct aisle access.
You may prefer to eat at the Greenwich Lounge (JFK) or the Flagship Lounge. Inflight service can be a mixed bag, but American has a solid selection of entertainment options to keep you occupied and the bed is comfortable. |
| Best Ways To Book
Qantas: Great From JFK, Reduced Surcharges, Transfer Bonus
Qantas isn't usually a great option, but 57,000 points from JFK is a great one-way rate when you consider that you can transfer Amex, Capital One, and Citi points.
If you have Capital One Miles, the 20% transfer bonus means you’ll only need to transfer 48,000 Miles to book. For flights out Chicago and Philly, you’ll need 68,400 Qantas points, but only 57,000 Capital One miles.
With the reduced surcharges, this will be the best way to book for many people.
Alaska: Great Rate, No Surcharges, Bilt Partner
At 55,000 miles one-way and no surcharges, Alaska miles are your best bet if you have Bilt points.
Cathay: Solid Rate, Reduced Surcharges, Easy To Earn
If you don’t have Capital One Miles, Cathay has the advantage over Qantas from Chicago and Philly at 63,000 miles one-way. You can transfer Amex, Bilt, Capital One, and Citi points.
