1. Flight attendants were very friendly, efficient and overall wanted to make you feel taken care of. They were asking me if I needed a refill, “more beer” etc.
2. I can’t comment on food because I didn’t eat. The offerings were a roast beef salad or veggie. Both were cold options and looked like something you’d get on a domestic F envoy/175 flight I’m the US.
3. I was in 1C and yes it’s a couch seat but I had plenty of legroom at the bulkhead. No complaints.
4. BA’s 320 was a dinosaur. No power outlets and non functioning WiFi
5. Flight attendants in upper galley close the curtain as they prepare their service. I liked this and reduced light glare.
6. In flight moving map on flip down overhead vid screens were circa 1998.
7. CE cabin was 60% full. No one in 1A.
8. Passenger behind me in 2C taps me on the shoulder: “excuse me, do you mind raising your seat? There is no leg room here”. I instinctively did such only to lower it 10 minutes later but he never rebutted. I was ready for to lay out the “I’m sorry but your lack of planning isn’t my concern” spiel but wasn’t necessary.
10. Flight was on time. Despite moderate rain fall we pushed back and took off quickly. This wouldn’t happen typically with an AA flight at DFW. The rain would delay it.
11. The cross check announcements to the flight attendants upon being marshaled into the gate was called as the plane was rolling in. Here it isn’t until the plane has come to a full stop.
12. Very positive experience despite the 320’s lack of power or IFE.
