Anyone have experience with both? Thanks
Although JL's Y is one of the best in class, AA's PE is better. One gets both a J class meal, albeit without the fancier dinnerware and somewhat better beverage choices. Also, the seats are larger and provide a modicum of more private space. With the price difference being only $600 r/t, and seems not to be a concern to you, go for it.
