Fair enough. On long haul flights nowadays I have a single discriminator, can I lie down and sleep? If I can it is a Premium Cabin, if not then it is not. Obviously for short haul flights the requirements are different but I fly very very few short haul flights. I do not drink alcohol, I do not eat meat so I often carry my own tasty treats, I have my own Macbook and Bose Qc35 bluetooth headphones, cupboard full of First Class Pajama Sets that I did not use etc. For me it is about space and lying down. So AA scores big in First and Business as its current offerings are very very good. I think that those who want the things PE offers will find that too to be a very good offering.
