[QUOTE=rfrost;9078826] I've had some truly filthy planes on AA, which I don't think happens on CO, and in general I think the CO experience in Y (if you're going to be stuck there) is probably better than on AA. It's not just the meals, pillows and blankets you might actually not shudder at putting near your body; I find the AA Y seats on the 777 really uncomfortable. I'm not talking about pitch--even with an entire center row to myself, I wasn't comfortable--I think there's just no padding.QUOTE]

I can agree; in general, I have found the AA planes to be dirty, and uncomfortable. Once this year, I flew on a plane that a previous customer had gotten sick on. The flight attendant sprayed air freshener every few minutes in an attempt to mask the smell, but the experience was sickening to say the least. I have never had this problem on Contitnetal.
