  1. I doubt if the headphone sare noise cancelling that cost about $ 450.00. They are probably noise defeating that are drastically less effective that are worth about $50.00 . Noise defeating is like a set of home stereo sound system headphones that you buy at Walmart . Noise canceling totally block out noise with advanced technologies. Most pilots use noise cancelling headsets with a microphone that cost about $1,300,00.

  2. I love your channel! I also have food allergies which makes traveling a struggle. Can you talk about how you travel with allergies and dietary restrictions? Interested in learning how y’all communicate in non-English speaking countries (or even in the US 😅).

  3. On New Year's Day 2025 I will be on American Airlines Premium Economy between London Heathrow and Miami – 10 hours. I opted for Premium Economy rather than Business Class because this is a daytime flight and I won't need the flat bed experience. I am looking forward to comparing my trip with yours. Thanks for your review, I enjoyed it.

  4. The ONLY true benefit of paying for AA Premium Economy is the space. Period. Everything else is the same as economy. That said, a long flight is worth paying the extra money for those seats.

  5. if nothing else, you were in Nice! Lovely city. I should be flying PE on my DFW-HND, SYD-LAX flights in April. I get to use my system upgrades. Regarding paying for an upgrade, American once offered me business class from LAX-SYD for $350! It was ok but I didn't find the flat seat bed + the duvet like mattress that comfy (but food and the bathroom was awesome)
