American is retiring its 767-200s this year and replacing them with new 3 class A321s including five rows of 1-1 First Class seats. While UA has given up 3 class service, kudos to AA for deciding to not only keep three class F but to up the ante on the most lucrative US routes, JFK-LAX/SFO. Have never been on an inaugural flight and decided what the heck. I used 65,000 AAdvantage miles for an AAnytime First seat on the first JFK-LAX flight.
My 20 hour day began at DEN early this morning and a beautiful morning it was.
Just a little baggage backed up waiting for storm impacted pax.
With a quick stop at the Admirals Club where "champagne" and/or mimosas celebrated the AA/US merger.

Great $109 DL nonstop flight to JFK with my PM upgrade clearing at the window.
Outstanding crew and a quick 2 hours and 50 minute flight today.
We've had three DL meals in the last four four days and IMO, they have stepped up their game and improved catering. The omelet was excellent and the fruit bowl much larger and fresher than before.
Wow, a 124 MPH tail wind!
On time arrival and a quick Air Train ride, I was at T-8 at 2PM. My first glimpse of the new combined AA/US Priority signs.
