Joined this flight from JFK to Fort Lauderdale having arrived three hours earlier from Heathrow on BA. Transfer to Terminal 8 went very smoothly, short line for Priority Access security and quickly to AA Flagship Lounge which was excellent in all respects. Good complementary internet access, showers and an interesting choice of complementary snacks and drinks. The Gate was a welcome "healthy" 20 minutes walk away (worth noting if you are tight on time) and boarding was very well organised with F Class passengers promptly on board first.
The seats on this 737-800 were quite uncomfortable even though the space and pitch was generous in a 2-2 layout. I am 1.87m and I found my head was above the headrest. Later on, with the recline things improved.
A really delicious choice of bistro style meals were offerred on this 3 hour sector and the chicken salad I chose was very tasty and washed down with an equally enjoyable glass of well oaked Californian chardonnay. The crew really made a big effort to make the journey comfortable.On time arrival, another good walk to the baggage reclaim where the priority bags were already waiting (really nice to see the tags actually made a difference).
A very good overall experience, aside from the seat.
