American Airlines First Class To London, Up To 8 Seats
There's a nice chunk of first class award space available this summer and in early 2025. While JFK has the most space, there's a nice chunk from Dallas and I've included the few dates available from Los Angeles.
Please note that AA has said it will be eliminating first class in late 2024 - if they're actaully on schedule. The first row of the new business class cabin will be sold as Flagship Suite Preferred seats.
If they do phase out first class before your flight, my hope is that first class tickets get the Flagship Suite Preferred seats.
Now, let's get into it!

Flight Experience
American's first class doesn't have a top tier reputation, but there are much worse ways to fly! While, American isn't known for having the best service or catering, the bedding gets high marks and that's important!
The cabin is arranged in a 1-2-1 layout so you'll have direct aisle access.

If you're looking for flights to Europe in July or August, I would jump on this ASAP as space across the Atlantic has been tough lately.
