ORD-PVG in F? How Important is FEBO?
Are meal choices limited or plentiful on AA in F ORD-PVG? In order words, should you care about being in rows 3 or 4 versus 1 or 2?

Like HNL I too have never had a problem. 1J is also my preferred seat and I have always gotten my first choice. As I think about it, I don't think I have ever seen the F-cabin FAs doing FEBO...they seem to always start in the front.

I'm currently in 3J, but 1J is available. The rest are middle seats.

Considering that the F meals are basically identical to the J meals, the chances that they'll run out of an F pax's choice are probably pretty low...

Flown ORD-PVG in F several times
I never remember not getting my selection, but for the life of me, I can't rememnber anything about the food. No matter what they call it, it is still airline food. Have a nice meal at a restaurant the night before.

What you get is the typical business class airline food. If food on a plane is really, really important try CX F or one of the japanese or korean airlines.
If you are allergic or dislike certain food why not just order a special meal?

It's not likely you will have a problem getting the airline food of your preference; Shanghai has a lot better dining choices than American Airlines.

Do the coach seats have entertainment systems? Or just shared TV screens?
