When will the US carriers offer lounges and inflight products to match that of Asian carriers? They just need to look and see and improve on the horror that they are providing on domestic US flights!
Wait till you try the back!

I suspect you were on one of the older ex-US aircraft. The brand new AA 737s and A321s are nice if first. Big IFE, comfy seat for 5-6 hours, reasonable service. A huge step up from European business class, bar perhaps the food.
