AA's NBCS on the 777

Yesterday I flew on AA flight #925 MIA-LAX, a 777 with the NBCS. What a difference between these seats and the ones on the 763s.
Basically the same seats but the 777s got the better deal. Maybe it was just me but the seats seemed "roomier", had an imbedded individual screens in the back of the shell of the seat in front of you (not so on the 763s), on demand movies, TV shows, games(~15 choices of each), more storage possibilities, etc... It was a breakfast flight. I always pick the corn flakes, yogurt, fruit option. For lunch there were 2 choices, salmon cuts with side dishes of cheese and ? or a BBQ chicken sandwich. I chose the sandwich and it was just heavenly. Great wine flowing throughout the flight. Warm chocolate chip cookies with milk (just the smell of the cookies in the oven drives you nuts) at the end of the flight followed by club soda with lemon to cleanse your mouth just before landing.

EXCELLENT crew, I just e-mailed AA CS to compliment what was one of the best crews I ever had and I'm talking about all the airlines.

Very nice!

But you didn't say which class you were in.

It was business class.....

I still can't get over the J class crew. They were one of the best EVER and I have flown in the front cabin (F and J) on many top airlines.

2 male, 1 female FAs and the pursor (also a male) helping out if necessary. Just outstanding!!!

The new BCS section has 37 seats on the 777. The old config had 35 seats. They did away with one of the closets and put the 2 seats there.

btw, this is the reply I received (very quickly I may add as a complaint usually takes about 2-3 days), oh well (nothing is perfect):

Once again, you missed out on the snack pack.

How was the movie selection? Many comments about AA flights mention that there was only a Disney movie.

No I have not. I did fly upstairs on their 747s. BA J seats have AA beat, no question about it.

Service and food is about equal IMHO..

Wines in J are better on AA.

Reason I asked is because I have not been in either BA or AA NBC and I was hoping you'd say the AA one is better!

I prefer sit forward with my SO next to me so we can talk close and click our wine glasses without having to shift our bodies forward moving. I have seen BA 777's Club World and I do not quite like the seating arrangements there.

We are saving our AA FF miles for the upgrades ... one day soon ...
