I flew AA PE from LAX-LHR yesterday (BA out to ORD the week before)

AA:
No pre-departure drinks.
No warm towels
No menus
Rushed meal service of beef or pasta along with a drinks run.


Picked the 3-4 pieces of peppers from the salad and left the rest. Braised? beef was ok. Have had far, far better. Cheesecake (lemon?) wasnt too bad. Small bread bun was very cold.


Couple of walkthroughs with trash bags.
Breakfast and drinks about 1.5-2hrs before landing (decent sized fruit plate, warm cinnamon bun and a Chobani yoghurt)
Didnt have breakfast as planned to eat in the lounges.

Nothing else throughout the flight.

Snacks in the galley seemed to be a lot of pretzels and 2 brownies that I looked when I walk to the rear galley for a drink.

No real segregation of business and PE. Then again, one toilet was broken, so you used the nearest one just inside the business cabin, behind the open curtain.

Seat wasn't that comfortable, and my seat only reclined under an inch (the seat next to me seemed fine, but the BA recline looked superior)

Couldn't get empower to work. Luckily I had a small USB-A to C cable with my Sony headphones.

Due to arrive early but had a tour of LHR, so not quite as early.
Then ended up on 357L so a bus gate. They sent 1 bus, but a second turned up 5 mins later.

Shockingly, I would say that on pretty much every aspect of the cabin, BA wins hands down.
