| | | 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 a 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: Capital One Transfer Bonus, Low Surcharges, Easy To Earn
Qantas isn't usually your best 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 take advantage of Capital 20% transfer bonus, you’d only need 47,500 Capital One miles. In fact, with the transfer bonus, you’d only need 57,000 Capital One Miles. That makes Qantas your best bet on all routes if you have Capital One Miles.
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: Reduced Surcharges, Easy To Earn
With Cathay, you’ll need 63,000 Asia Miles for a one-way award. Plus, Cathay doesn’t pass on all of the surcharges. Cathay is one of your best option if you have Amex or Citi points and aren’t flying between JFK and Madrid.
American: Great Rate, No Surcharges, Tough To Earn
While American’s own members can sometimes get access to more space than partners and the 54,000-mile rate is quite good, it can be tough to earn the miles. Your only options are co-branded Barclays and Citi cards. |
