.
  • AA2401 Lv DFW 7:25 am At LAX 8:41 am

  • AA2561 Lv LAX 10:15 am Ar DFW 3:20 pm
AA begins DFW-MAD with 787-9, and DFW-GRU (Săo Paulo) 4 Nov 2016 (post #48).

LucasVIE thought it would be a good idea to create a Wiki for all the FTs confirmed on the inaugural flight:

LukasVIE - Seat 3L
beerup - Seat 6L

The PE seat does look nice, the only thing that could foul it for me is if it becomes what you get in return for an SWU.

Hopefully the cushioning in the seat back is more substantial than the 319. It's thin!

Times?
I fly Dfw to Lax weekly. Can someone please tell me what departure times I can find this aircraft on that route? Or flight numbers?

Thanks

The only thing I didn't care for about PE was the power outlet being on the underside of the center armrest. You'd have to stand up to reach it or blindly fumble around for a bit. My phone doesn't want to do in-line pictures.

Just like the 319. Note that you can lift that top flap and see it much more easily.

Some here are stuck in the spend $650 for LGA-DFW-HKG, fly 77W J with two SWUs and earn ~40k RDM mindset.

+1... At first I thought that was going to be a real bear to plug something in, and then when I flipped up the top I could see and reach it easily. I thought the location was nice because you can charge whatever you have in the center cubby slot and keep the cords tucked away. Also the plug location being close to your body was good for shorter cords.

A comment was made earlier about the bulkhead leg rests being superior, and in most ways I guess they are... But I sat in row 10, and both the couple in front of me and the row 9 person across the aisle all struggled to work their footrests, even after the FA showed them how to work it (after she had to ask herself.) You know didn't have any trouble with their footrests? Those of us in the other 2 rows. Sometimes simple does the job. In all seriousness though, given that the seats are still just about as close to the floor as a normal economy seat, I wouldn't personally fight for a bulkhead too hard.

Nice meeting those I got to chat with on DFW-LAX yesterday.
