To serve customers’ growing demand for a premium travel experience, American will be retrofitting its A319 and A320 aircraft beginning in 2025. The retrofit will refresh the interior with power at every seat, larger overhead bins and new seats with updated trim and finish.
American’s A319 fleet will be outfitted with more premium seats for a total of 12 domestic first class seats. The A320 fleet retrofits will increase the aircraft’s domestic first class seat count to 16.
Seems like a long time coming, both the A319s only having 8 F but also the A320s with a very outdated interior (although I love the wide armrests). Likely means the demise of PTVs on the L-AA 319 subfleet, but hopefully it also means personal device holders on the seatbacks.
This will make the large overhead bins universal across the mainline narrowbody fleet.
