Hi guys,
Does AA offer any chauffeur service with First Class? Flying PEK-ORD-FLL.
Thank You

You seem to be confusing AA with airlines who provide a great premium product.

If you pay for Five Star Service, AA will coordinate with your car service upon arrival at the airport. The same service might be available to CKs and some very uber-VIP travelers (celebrities, diplomats, major corporate CEOs, etc).

That's about as close to "chauffer service" as you get on AA.

Thanks, yea i don't really want to fly AA but don't see many other options getting out of PEK in Business or First with oneworld. I assume going with BA through LHR would be much more on taxes and slightly longer flight. Any thoughts with routing?

I believe routing through LHR would require either distance based Explorer award or two separate awards (Asia2-Europe and Europe-N.America) because Asia2-N.America has to be transpacific.

JAL? PEK-NRT-ORD-FLL?
Those look like perfectly comfortable First Class or Business Class options to get from PEK to FLL.
Ahh, you're redeeming miles. If you were talking about spending many thousands of dollars, then the above would be applicable. If you're redeeming miles, you generally take what you can get.

Don't even start dreaming.
Does AA F provide Cappuccino?
What about Caviar?
Any good champagne?
Food different from mediocre business class food?
What about multiple different kinds of tea?
Or F suites with privacy?
Or even seats which are as wide and long as many other airlines have?
What about sound absorbing curtains between the cabins?
Don't even think about attentive crews and not the ones which makes you feel bad when you even ask for a glas of water (because they are there for your safety, not to serve you)
I never understand why anybody would pay for AA F. I feel that almost everybody in AA F is either on an award ticket or upgraded or works for AA.

MrQ doesn't have to pretend to be disabled. He carries his blue parking placard in his daypack, then waves it to flag down an electric cart at DFW. Embarrassing? Yes. But I get a free ride out of the deal.

BA F is better service but smaller/cramped seat. Will still not give you chauffer services.
