AA Business Class ( domestic flight)?
I just booked an award flight for two of us from JFK to SEA ( flight 1021, on a 737), using AS miles. Although the flight was listed in the First Class column, the confirmation show Class U ( Business).
The award cost much less in miles (25K each) than First on AS metal (60K each). It seems worth it to get paired seating ( rather than a row of 3), dinner ( flight departs 5:30 pm) and free beverages.
What is the difference between this and First on trans-con flights? Will we still be able to visit the lounge at JFK before departure?
