After all that I ate and drank in Flagship First Dining, it's amazing I found my way down to the tunnel, up the other side and to my gate.





Pre-departure offerings from our very pleasant and efficient FA.











In the air, my usual G&T to start.





Showtime, AA style.



Nothing says First Class like AA's salt and pepper shakers.



​





And AA's vile First Class "wine list". Not a chance.



OK, I wasn't really hungry but took one for the team and the photo op. The salmon starter was OK if you like smoked salmon slathered in cream.



Meh. The greens were fine but the dressing was just awful and killed the salad.



On the other hand, the mahi mahi was quite tasty although a little dry.



I passed on dessert as even I occasionally have my consumption limits. LOL. After a few hours nap, back to work and some beautiful scenery as we approached the west coast.





We arrive 45 minutes early and with no traffic on the 405, was home before 10pm. In summary, AA's in flight First Class product is great for coast-to-coast domestic travel if your ignore the food and wine. But it's the lounge and dining experience at both LAX and JFK that set AA apart and make it the best overall domestic transcon service.
