After a great Philly cheesesteak at Jim's. C21 is the gate for today's flight!

Today's flight will be operated by N820AW, a 2000-built A319-132 originally delivered to America West on December 21, 2000. It was then handed over to US Airways om September 27, 2005, and handed over to American on December 9, 2013, where it has flown since.

Let's board! A bit of dirt near that overwing exit, though.

I won't go over the seat details again, as I mentioned them previously, but my seat for today is 16E.

Is "keep no smoking sign off" part of the A320 series SOP at AA?

A bit of the cabin.

Basic service, Biscoff and coffee, a perfect match. Despite the AA logo on the packaging, the Biscoffs aren't AA branded. Doesn't taste right compared to Delta's branded Biscoffs, though.
