Traveler reviews
Avoid this seat if you can... may have limited recline; near the galley; near the lavatory.
Watch out for this seat maybe, near the galley.
Don't sit here if you don't have to, may have limited recline; near the lavatory.
Could go either way on this seat, no seat reclining in front of you ; may have extra legroom; no underseat stowage; traytable in armrest means narrower seat.
Look elsewhere, may have limited recline; near the lavatory.
Good seat with some minor issues, no seat reclining in front of you ; may have extra legroom; no underseat stowage; traytable in armrest means narrower seat.
Better than some but not the best, no seat reclining in front of you ; may have extra legroom; no underseat stowage; traytable in armrest means narrower seat.

Good and bad, but overall an ok seat, may have limited recline.
Decent seat but has some issues, near the galley.
Better than most - has extra legroom; no under-seat stowage during takeoff and landing; traytable in armrest means narrower seat.
Good and bad, but overall an ok seat, near the galley.
Definitely better seats to sit in, near the lavatory.
Don't sit here if you don't have to, may have limited recline; near the galley; next to the lavatory.

Just not a good seat, may have limited recline; near the lavatory.

What travel bloggers say
- Drew the "far superior" Rockwell Collins Super Diamond rather than the narrow, rocking Safran seats, and called it winning a lottery you can't resolve until the tail is assigned about two days out
- Praised the 21-inch-wide seat, 81-inch bed as "incredibly comfortable," lowerable armrest that widens the sleeping surface, two enclosed storage bins, a 17x18-inch bi-fold tray that fits a 13-inch MacBook Pro and individual air nozzles
- Advised skipping row 6 (practically in the galley) and bulkhead row 7 (no window), and warned the intimate rear mini-cabin sees every passenger file past during boarding through door 2
- Rated catering "a notch above average": Lanson champagne and warm nuts, a decent paprika chicken starter and made-to-order Häagen-Dazs sundae, but lukewarm yet overcooked sea bass and bland mashed potatoes
- Called the Bang & Olufsen H9i headphones among the nicest in any business cabin, though collected a full hour before landing; $35 uncapped Wi-Fi hit ~30 Mbps down but under 1 Mbps up, and the Shinola kit and scratchy Casper duvet underwhelmed
- Found a 3-inch gap between the back and bottom cushions when the seat was flat that repeatedly swallowed her seat belt — once she had to lie the seat fully flat to retrieve it
- Loved the storage: an 8.5-inch-deep armrest well, two compartments holding headphones, two USBs, a universal outlet and remote, and lids that close into a 13x33-inch surface for a laptop during meals
- Disliked sleeping on it as a side sleeper — the 78-inch bed narrows to about 19 inches at the knees and the tray table never folds away, parking below the screen where it slams your knees
- Rated the Hawaiian-themed catering highly, with char siu pork on pineapple slaw and a zucchini "meatball" entrée she called possibly the best AA business entrée she's eaten, but service was "a mixed bag" with one engaged crew member and a call button ignored then reset
- Noted there's no divider between the center seats, so window seats are the privacy play, and that $19 full-flight Panasonic Wi-Fi performed poorly, especially on uploads
- Called it "a great new seat" — fully flat, every seat with aisle access, good IFE and Wi-Fi — and similar to AA's 787 business, though the cabin feels more spacious because the aircraft is wider
- Confirmed the seat rocked forward and back, especially during takeoff, from "a wee bit too loose of a connection to the floor," noticeable but not uncomfortable
- Found the rear-facing seats offer more work surface and feel wider at the shoulders upright, but preferred the versions where you can drop the armrest, since the closed ones feel slightly claustrophobic
- Rated the tray table noticeably better than the 787's with more fore/aft adjustment and room to eat and keep working on a laptop, but once down you're locked into your seat
- Warned that his seat looked directly into the galley and would be undesirable on an overnight, and noted front and back rows get extra storage up top by the wall
- Recommends AA's 777-200 business "without reservations" on the transcon, calling it a better premium product than Delta or United on the route
- Measured on the bed: the 81-inch, 21-inch-wide Super Diamond seat is spacious with great personal storage, but "no better for sleeping than most other business class flat bed products," and he prefers the 777-300ER seat whose tray table doesn't invade knee space
- Singled out the meal as the highlight — burrata starter, excellent salmon with herb butter, a fresh-tasting Asian chicken and a spinach-ricotta rotolo, served promptly after takeoff
- Praised the self-serve buffet of cookies, Parmesan crisps, fig bars, jerky and Pringles as far better than United's snack baskets
- Found service fine but not exceptional, with Casper duvet and pillow, an APL amenity kit, a roomy clean lav, and B&O noise-cancelling headphones that worked well
- On domestic flights AA doesn't sell premium economy as a separate class, so the seat is premium but the service is pure economy — one package of Biscoff and a single beverage over nearly six hours, with no refills, not even water
- Elites get the seats free and everyone else pays roughly $59–99 on a transcon, which he considers the real value play
- Liked the hard product: 2-4-2 across three rows, 38 inches of legroom, 19 inches wide, leg rests, and only one seatmate instead of two on a full flight, which let him nap for half the trip
- The 12-inch touchscreen is large, extremely responsive and well stocked, but the free headphones are of very poor quality — bring your own
- No dedicated lavatories, with the business curtain snapped shut and passengers sent back to economy, plus a cookie wrapper left in his seatback pocket
- Swapped at the last minute onto the 777-200 with rear-facing seats and, despite doubts, came away impressed by the stylish modern cabin and spacious, private layout
- Called the seat "fantastic": armrests on both sides, excellent iPod-like seat controls, a pull-out IFE remote usable while lying flat and easy charging access, with plenty of room at 6'3"
- Gave the bed top marks — well padded, long and wide with a comfortable pillow and duvet — and slept about four hours after the meal
- Rated the extra-large tray table perhaps the best feature for business travelers, long enough to hold a meal tray and a laptop at once
- Found the divider between the two center seats is immovable and set by the aircraft; theirs was up, which is great solo but frustrating for a couple
- A lie-flat Super Diamond seat sold as domestic first on a three-hour MIA–BOS hop, booked for 25,000 miles plus $5.60 each when economy cost 22,000 (later 34,000) — around 2 cents per mile against roughly $500 cash fares
- Criticized the fake divider between the center seats: it's just the storage compartment lid, so when either passenger opens the bin or closes it for a flat surface, half the privacy disappears — fine for couples, bad for strangers
- Liked the sleek seat with good privacy, a sharp fixed screen that never needs stowing, an AC outlet plus two USB ports, adjustable reading light, individual air nozzles and an easy digital controller, though no storage space fits a laptop
- Arrived to a "Do Not Occupy" sign on his seat that the crew knew nothing about, stood in the aisle about 15 minutes and needed a deadheading pilot to get him reassigned
- Endured roughly 1.5 hours on the ground after boarding with delay emails arriving but no announcement or explanation from the crew
