When it was time to board our flight, we made our way just down the terminal to Gate 10, which was quite crowded. We boarded right away by the time we got to the gate, and settled in for the 7 hour flight from New York to London

American Airlines Boeing 777-200 Business Class Seats New York to London

I had selected seats 2A, 2D, 3A and 3D for us, which are the 2 window seats and the 2 left-middle seats in a 1-2-1 American Airlines Boeing 777-200 configuration. My kids were in the window seats

And my wife and I were in the left-middle seats (2D and 3D). I was in 3D.

The middle seats have a full divider that you can raise if you’re traveling by yourself. Because we were sitting in front of each other and not next to each other on this particular flight, we kept the divider up for the entire flight. The seat had both regular AC power outlets and a USB power outlet, as well as controls at the seat and a remote control to manage the TV.

American Airlines Boeing 777-200 Business Class Entertainment

There is a large screen at your seat showing a variety of different entertainment, however somehow I did not take a picture of that (bad travel blogger!). The screen was large and as I recall, the entertainment selection was pretty good (though I slept through most of the flight)

There were headphones provided from Bang & Olufsen, though the jacks for the entertainment system also supported standard headphones.

There was also a page listing the different beverages available. I don’t drink alcohol, so this is not super exciting for me personally, but I know that many people look for the alcohol selection when selecting a business class flight.

Before dinner they served mixed nuts

Then dinner was served. I had the golden roasted chicken, which came with seasonal greens and sundried tomato tartar

The chicken was okay but having just eaten (better food) in the lounge, I didn’t really finish the dinner. Of course, that did not stop me from ordering dessert, which was a delicious hot fudge sundae.

The American Airlines Business Class food was decent and I would definitely fly American Airlines business class again.
