After enjoying a delicious meal and having a refreshing shower at the American Airlines JFK Flagship Lounge<\/a>, I headed to the departure gate to board for my flight to Rio de Janeiro. The flight from New York\u2019s Kennedy to Rio de Janeiro (JFK-GIG) has a flying time of 10 hours. Thankfully, I was upgraded to Business Class with an American Airlines Executive Platinum Systemwide Upgrade.<\/p>\n

The Business Class cabin on a Boeing 767-300 (763) is in a 2-2-2 configuration.<\/p>\n

\"aajfkriodejaneiro1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The seats are angled-flat and I chose the middle section due to direct aisle access. I don\u2019t want to climb over someone (or have someone climb over me) when I have to use the lavatory.<\/p>\n

\"aajfkriodejaneiro2\"<\/a> \"aajfkriodejaneiro3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The flight attendant had a passed tray of pre-departure beverages that contained water, orange juice, or champagne. I went with the latter.<\/p>\n

\"aajfkriodejaneiro4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There was a Business Class amenity kit in one of the center storage cubicles.<\/p>\n

\"aajfkriodejaneiro5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The flight attendant passed out Business Class menus and it reads as follows:<\/p>\n

\"aajfkriodejaneiro6\"<\/a> \"aajfkriodejaneiro7\"<\/a> \"aajfkriodejaneiro8\"<\/a> \"aajfkriodejaneiro9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Starter<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seared Tuna \u2013 With Asian slaw and wasabi soy cr\u00e8me<\/p>\n

Salad \u2013 Seasonal greens with fresh vegetables, hearts of palm and sweet and spicy pecans with premium extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar<\/p>\n

Assorted gourmet breads will be served with your meal<\/p>\n

Entrees<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grilled Fillet of Beef \u2013 Crusted in Boursin cheese, served with wilted spinach, balsamic grilled toamtoes and whipped potatoes<\/p>\n

Lemongrass Chicken \u2013 Served with achiote citrus sauce, potato-rutabaga puree and coconut chayote squash<\/p>\n

Pan-seared Halibut \u2013 With a spicy West Indian bouillabaisse sauce, jasmine rice and curry ratatouille<\/p>\n

Sweet Potato Soup \u2013 With red curry<\/p>\n

Dessert<\/strong><\/p>\n

Traditional Ice Cream Sundae \u2013 Vanilla ice cream with your choice of hot fudge, butterscotch or seasonal berry toppings, whipped cream and pecans<\/p>\n

Gourmet Cheese Plate \u2013 An assortment of fine cheeses with garnishes<\/p>\n

Breakfast \u2013 Offered prior to arrival<\/strong><\/p>\n

Entrees<\/strong><\/p>\n

American Breakfast \u2013 Asparagus and prosciutto omelette served with fire roasted peppers and potato cakes<\/p>\n

Continental Breakfast \u2013 Granola with yogurt<\/p>\n

Served with a selection of fruit and breakfast breads<\/p>\n

Here is the Wine and Beverage list:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"aajfkriodejaneiro10\"<\/a> \"aajfkriodejaneiro11\"<\/a> \"aajfkriodejaneiro12\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the flight reached cruising altitude, the flight attendant passed out Samsung Galaxy Tabs which served as a portable in-flight entertainment system.<\/p>\n

\"aajfkriodejaneiro13\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Shortly thereafter, a hot wet towel was given.<\/p>\n

\"aajfkriodejaneiro14\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had my usual cranberry and vodka with lime to go with the hot mixed nuts.<\/p>\n

\"aajfkriodejaneiro15\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The starter consisted of seared ahi tuna and a hearts of palm salad with bread which was delicious.<\/p>\n

\"aajfkriodejaneiro16\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As an entr\u00e9e selection, I selected the steak which was covered in cheese and served with creamy mashed potatoes and saut\u00e9ed spinach. This was the best steak I\u2019ve ever had on a plane and the sides were delicious and complemented well with the beef.<\/p>\n

\"aajfkriodejaneiro17\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For dessert, I had a made to order ice cream sundae where I always choose a little bit of every syrup and topping. You can\u2019t go wrong with the signature American Airlines ice cream sundae and it\u2019s fantastic every time.<\/p>\n

\"aajfkriodejaneiro18\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the meal, I knocked out and advised the flight attendant to wake me up for breakfast.<\/p>\n

\"aajfkriodejaneiro19\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I absolutely dislike breakfast on American Airlines because it\u2019s always that nasty omelet or a pizza dish. I had the omelette which was disgusting and the potato cakes were hard as a rock. The only saving grace\u00a0from the dish was the fresh fruit and it\u2019s hard to mess that up. The service on the flight was excellent and professional as always. My only complaint is that breakfast needs to improve and I only wake up for it because I want to fully review the flight.<\/p>\n
