767-300 Long haul experience
Hello,
I am about to take a transatlantic flight on AA 767-300. I have heard so many bad story about the flight. Can anyone share their recent experience? Some bloggers reported that they would install wifi in 2018. But I have not seen any report that is actually happening.
thanks.

I took the 763 MAD-JFK earlier this week in J - it was fine and the bird had WiFi. In Y I'm sure it's a bit bleak and, I can't believe I'm saying this, at least you can stream something to your phone or tablet now that there's WiFi.

I flew AMS-DFW on a 763 in J last summer and found it to be a very pleasant and comfortable flight.
AA is logically not upgrading the interiors any further (e.g., by adding personal AVOD) given the aircraft are continuing to depart the fleet over the next two years.

If it's in Y like any Y experience it will pretty much suck, particularly with no AVOD/IFE. If you can try to go for row 12 or 13 (MCE in the mini cabin). If it's J you will get a tablet and the seats like flat. The reliability of these a/c isn't all that great.

did you mean AMS-PHL? AA flies 772 on AMS-DFW route.

I agree 767 often goes mechanical but when it does fly it’s a great ride. I’ll take it any day over 772 or 773 in Y.

It’s very basic. Very very basic.
The seats in Y are comfortable. If you can get MCE, there is a decent amount of space, even with the person in front reclined.
No IFE / Wifi sucks. But, if you have an iPad, it’s not the end of the world.

I think by “last summer” @USFlyerUS is referring to summer 2017. It was flown by a 767 at that point in time. (Unless he means 2018 and it was simply a substitute.)

Took it last year and was at bulkhead, so I was not too bothered with it. Just bring some readings/pre-downloaded shows. 6/7 hours go by fast - unless you are stuck in middle seat...
