Discover the interior of American’s new A321XLR which will fly over the United States

Twenty suites were installed on the A321XLR in a 1×1 configuration, occupying approximately 13% of the aircraft’s 155 total seats.

If you factor in the 12 premium economy seats, the total number of higher-priced seats jumps to around 20%.

Award revenue boosts airline profits – particularly across the Atlantic – as people remain willing to pay more for a better flying experience.

The Flagship Suite business class debuted on a newly delivered Boeing 787 in June, as American follows the global trend of launching suites equipped with doors.

Its cocoon-shaped configuration is similar to the enclosed Mint Suites on JetBlue Airways’ A321neoLR. The old American business class, which still flies on most of its wide-bodies, has no doors.

The extended cab also offers features like a wireless charger, TV, plenty of storage, and a multi-course meal.

“Whether customers are traveling coast to coast or across the ocean, American’s newest aircraft demonstrates our commitment to providing a premium travel experience,” Heather Garboden, American’s chief customer officer, said in a press release.

American said its highest-paying customers receive priority check-in, security, boarding and baggage handling.

They also have access to airport lounges, such as the Greenwich Lounge at New York-JFK and the Flagship Lounge in Los Angeles.

Premium Economy Class has two seats per row, instead of the 1×1 configuration in Business Class and the 3×3 configuration in Economy Class, guaranteeing each passenger a window or aisle seat.

Instead of a bed, the oversized lounge chair features a deep recline, a calf and foot rest, and wide headrest wings for added privacy.

Guests also receive upgraded hot meals, a blanket, pillow and amenity kit.

The premium economy section is like the Goldilocks area of ​​airplane cabins.

It is more comfortable than the coach but does not have a bed. It’s usually hundreds or thousands of dollars less than companies.

There are 123 economy seats in a 3×3 cabin at the rear of the plane. These feature headrests, “multiple power options” and seatback entertainment screens – the latter of which are already present on the line’s A321Ts.

Adding television to the A321XLR makes sense for continuity and because the aircraft is also expected to operate international routes.

Domestically, American’s file TVs are largely limited to its special narrow-body transcontinental flights.

Instead, passengers can use a built-in tablet holder to prop up their device and access US streaming content. American jumbo jets are already equipped with personal screens.

Unlike American, most Delta Air Lines and United domestic planes offer seatback entertainment.
