American is the ONLY airline that operates a real FIRST Class product for nonstop service between Los Angeles / San Francisco and New York. This is a true lie-flat seat with 1 x 1 seating. You will have access to the AA Flagship Lounge in addition to Flagship Dining on both in Los Angeles and New York.

We flew this between San Francisco and New York a few times and thought its pretty good for a domestic flight.

(We are testing Premium Economy / Business Class / First Class deals the next few weeks to sort out some workflow and algorithms issues, we will see how it goes and whether to make this a regular feature – for Business Class / First Class deals.)
