roll out this weekend
The pajamas come in two sizes “S/M” and “L/XL” though on my last flight in first class they failed to board any of the larger size.
This was such a petty cut, but so good to see pajamas return even if the pajamas themselves don’t match the quality that American offered a decade ago I still wear those on long haul flights that won’t be offering any; I try to stick with the correct airline’s pajamas or worst-case stay within the same alliance. A small investment, they help make passengers feel cared for – earning a revenue premium in business class means developing a brand preference, which may start with the seat but goes beyond that.
American needs to be a carrier that customers go out of their way to choose not only when they’re the only ones offering a non-stop flight or they’re the cheapest. And doing this like offering a more robust soft product, along with not waking passengers to collect noise cancelling headphones an hour before arrival, helps with that. And providing richer amenities gives flight attendants a product they can feel proud of, and even helps to encourage better onboard service.,
