This was my last leg on my way home from Rio de Janeiro and what better way to end it than to fly on the brand new American Airlines A321T. I\u2019ve previously reviewed the A321T thoroughly here<\/a> and here<\/a>. The lunch flight from New York to Los Angeles (JFK-LAX) was close to 6 hours.<\/p>\n

The Business Class cabin on the A321T is in a 2-2 configuration with lie-flat seats.<\/p>\n

\"jfklaxa321taa1\"<\/a> \"jfklaxa321taa2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had orange juice as a pre-departure beverage.<\/p>\n

\"jfklaxa321taa3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The flight attendant passed by the cabin with the Business Class menu. The menu reads as follows:<\/p>\n

\"jfklaxa321taa4\"<\/a> \"jfklaxa321taa5\"<\/a> \"jfklaxa321taa6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Smoked Salmon \u2013 Accompanied by seared ahi-tuna<\/p>\n

Salad<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seasonal Greens with Strawberries and Pecans \u2013 With your choice of classic Caesar dressing or 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

Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast \u2013 Served with haricots verts and a rosti potato cake<\/p>\n

Classic Caesar Salad and Corn Chowder \u2013 Served with an optional grilled chicken skewer (This soup and salad option does not include the starter salad.)<\/p>\n

Stuffed Portobello Mushroom \u2013 Portobello mushroom stuffed with a wild rice vegetable blend, topped with mozzarella cheese served with a roasted red pepper sauce<\/p>\n

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

Traditional Ice Cream Sundae \u2013 Vanilla ice cream with your choice of hot fudge, butterscotch\u00a0 or seasonal berry toppings, whipped cream and chopped nuts<\/p>\n

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

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

Whole Fruit and Snacks \u2013 A selection of fresh seasonal fruit and premium snacks<\/p>\n

Cookies \u2013 Freshly baked on board<\/p>\n

Here is the wine list:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"jfklaxa321taa7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the flight reached cruising altitude, the flight attendant passed out a hot wet towel.<\/p>\n

\"jfklaxa321taa8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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

\"jfklaxa321taa9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The appetizer consisted of smoked salmon, ahi tuna, salad, and bread.<\/p>\n

\"jfklaxa321taa10\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For lunch, I had the Stuffed Portobello Mushroom which was a unique and delicious entr\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

\"jfklaxa321taa11\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The best part about the transcontinental lunch service is American Airlines signature ice cream sundae. I get really giddy when I see the cart come rolling down the aisle.<\/p>\n

\"jfklaxa321taa12\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I always choose \u2018a little bit\u2019 of everything as my syrup and toppings choice for my ice cream sundae. (Pardon the size & quality of the picture.)<\/p>\n

\"jfklaxa321taa13\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I got in a quick nap after lunch. During this time, the flight attendant would have been up and down the aisle mid-flight with a fruit and snack basket in case you\u2019re hungry.<\/p>\n

One hour before landing in Los Angeles, the flight attendant passed out fresh baked on board cookies. I had the white chocolate chip with raisins which was delicious.<\/p>\n

\"jfklaxa321taa14\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I absolutely love flying on the brand new American Airlines Airbus A321T transcontinental plane. The downside is that meal service was particularly slow on this flight. On a 5 hour flight, a complete meal service could take up to 2 hours. The flight attendants were friendly and they all seem to love the brand new Airbus A321T.<\/p>\n
