TRIP REPORT | This Is What Overbooking Makes! | Los Angeles to New York JFK | American Airlines A321

American Airlines Trip Report flying from Los Angeles to New York onboard one of the American Airlines Airbus A321Neo on a perfect spring morning all across the US.

A really amazing and comfortable flight from Los Angeles to New York onboard the American Airlines A321 Transcontinental. Although the flight was fully booked and I was traveling on the most basic economy fare, I found the seats and cabin really comfortable. Every seat was equipped with a personal screen and sockets.

About the flight itself, it was amazing. And I think amazing is not enough to describe all that we've seen. We took off from Los Angeles towards the Pacific Ocean and made a left 180° turn surrounding Los Angeles city. The views of the port and the downtown itself were great. After that, we flew towards Nevada, enjoying some perfect views of Victorville airport, the Nevada desert, and Las Vegas.

And here is where the most impressive part of this flight comes in and which explains the title of this video: about 2 hours before the flight I received a message from American Airlines offering me $500 for not taking that flight and changing to another one. Usually, this happens when there is overbooking and they offer it to passengers who have paid less for their ticket, because the difference makes them more likely to accept it.

We entered Utah then, flying over the Bryce Canyon park and the San Rafael Reef, just before flying over the Moab desert. Then we flew over the Rocky Mountains, encountering some turbulence associated with the high clouds. The views of Denver were also really beautiful. After 2h of non-stop recording, we found some high clouds over Nebraska and Kansas, so I took a little nap. I put the alarm to wake up every 15min, just in case something should be recorded ;P

The last 2 hours of the flight were with a mix of clear and cloudy skies. The views of Chicago and Michigan Lake were really lovely. From there we flew towards Detroit, Cleveland, and, finally, New York.

About the catering service, American Airline's really impressed me on this flight. I was expecting the same is the other airlines: a biscuit and a drink. But the reality is that they served us a choice of 3 snacks. In my case, I went for the Cheese & Fruit. It was delicious, both the grapes and the cheese.
2 hours before landing I went to the back galley to ask for another drink and they even asked me if wanted also another meal. Perfect service. Amazing crew.
