American Airlines just announced that it will be banning First Class Service on all Flights—-Reason: Customers aren’t buying them. They will, however, be readjusting first class seats to Business Class seats. Because the quality of the business-class seats have improved so much, by eliminating First Class seats would increase business-class seats, which is what customers are willing to pay for. These new business-class suite will offer fliers a sliding privacy door and a lie-flat bed.
American plans to install these new suites on the Boeing 787-9s, Airbus A321XLRs, and Boeing 777-300ERs starting in 2024.
Will other airlines follow suit and adopt this new initiative? We just have to wait and see!
