More than 99% of us can afford! The airlines are always catering to the wealthy.

So AA finally is attempting to catch up to the Asian competition in "upgrading" its fleet of 777's... seeing that the Asian competitors have about a 5 year head start on the F and C Class seating and the service (flight attendants) are still woefully lacking compared to SQ, NH, JL and others, it's probably too little, too late?

They need to upgrade their flight attendants, too! American probabaly has the oldest, most cranky flight attendants in the industry -- United is not far behind...

Great! I fly on Tuesday on economy class. This probably means the seats in the back are pressed closer together to make room for the Suite rows. Otherwise I find the 777 a good aircraft. Not too big.

I completely agree with TATANKA, they also need to upgrade all those grannies they have serving you in the planes! Some maybe just as friendly as your grandma back home, but it is always nicer to have a sexy,young babe to look at to make those long-overseas flights just a bit more bearable!
