A recent holiday in the US ended with 5 fantastic nights in Miami. I checked the Qantas website each day for about 4 weeks to keep an eye on award flights, and finally decided to connect through Dallas on to Sydney. Business class on American Airlines 772 to Dallas, then first class on the Qantas A380. It did seem a bit luxurious using so many points on first class, but you need to fly first class at some stage, and I’m not a fan of the Qantas A380 business seats. Especially if I’m flying solo, and having to climb over my neighbour to get out of my seat.

I arrived at the boarding gate a few minutes after scheduled boarding time to find the flight had well and truly started boarding. Someone was politely blocking the priority lane and not moving – and when I politely asked if they were priority, they ignored me. So I just went around them. People are strange.
Upon finding my seat I was offered either water or orange juice. Since I had had a few glasses of wine in the lounge I happily accepted a plastic cup of water.
After take off the cabin crew came around with hot towels – which I like seeing for 2 reasons:
- I get to wipe my hands and the tray table and armrest.
- That there is going to be a meal service.
Cabin & Seats
American Airlines have 2 versions of their 772 aircraft. One with the B/E Aerospace Super Diamond seats (which are very much international long haul quality herringbone business class seats). And another with the seemingly renowned awful rocking Zodiac seat, with some facing rearwards. Luckily enough I had the former and better. Seatguru said to avoid row 1 due to the galley, but since the main galley appeared to be between the 2 business class cabins, I took a gamble to take the prestigious 1A.
During the first drinks service the friendly cabin crew told me that I had the pilots seat. Apparently they don’t sell 1A on this aircraft for international flights, and it’s used for pilots rest. So 1A really must be the best seat on the plane.
Stretching out into relax mode, was really comfortable. The only irritant was the chunky seatbelt… Compared to a normal slim lap belt, it just makes it a bit less comfortable.
Lounge
I was able to access the American Airline Flagship First lounge in Miami, because I was connecting to a first class international flight in Dallas. The Flagship first lounge is much more premium than the normal Admirals Club. I treated myself to a high bench table, with tarmac views. See my separate review of the lounge.
Food and Drink
Shortly after takeoff, the trolleys came around offering drinks and warm nuts. I decided it was time for a glass of white wine, and they had either a Chenin Blanc (which I find fr too dry), or a Chardonnay from Napa. The chardonnay was delicious – and the nuts were nicely warmed, crunchy, and a tad salty.
About an hour into the flight the meal service came around. Strangely enough, it started at the back and came to the front. There was 2 choice, between a beef or a pasta (the pasta was explained it’s like an enchilada). I chose the beef, and although it was tough to cut with an airplane knife, it was so tender to eat. It was with a side salad made up of asparagus, chopped iceberg and a few sliced egg tomatoes. The asparagus was so fresh and crunchy, and so was the lettuce and tomato. The meal was offered a normal bread roll or a pretzel roll – the pretzel roll was delicious. There was a vinegar dressing, but after 2 weeks in American i was happy to have some plain green, crunchy greens.

After the mains trays were cleared the cabin crew came around with a tray of freshly baked cookies. There was eith an oat option or a chocolate chip option. I am an absolute sucker for a freshly baked cookie, which is chewy but crunchy on the outside. And this cookie was bang on that brief.

My only critique was that I wasn’ offered any water before or during the meal service. It wasn’t until the dessert ‘cookie’ service that I asked for a glass of water. Which was fine.
What else?
American Airlines 772 Business Class
WiFi was available on this flight – which is fantastic. Although it’s frustrating that you can only use your pass for 1 device. When I signed up and paid I created an account, and if I try to log in to the account on both laptop and iPhone, the other cuts out. Stops a family of 5 from using 1 pass though!
American Airlines 772 Premium Economy
There’s 3 bathrooms for business class – pretty good ratio. I only went to the bathroom once during the flight, at the start of the trip. And it was clean, tidy, and what you’d expect from an international business/first class bathroom.
