American Airlines Domestic First, Boston Logan – New-York JFK, Embraer 175: Solid but no frills

First flight of my New York itinerary on this uneventful regional flight.

Boarding

I leave the lounge about ten minutes before boarding begins and make my way to gate B10, from which my flight departs this morning.

Boarding of the flight begins right on time, with the American Airlines ConciergeKey passengers being called, followed by Group 1, of which I am a member and will be the first on board.

Cabin and welcome

The welcome is very courteous, and I enter the First cabin of this Embraer 175, configured as a 1-2 with comfortable recliners.

Even with standard, compliant baggage, I could fit it into the racks with some difficulty.

I’m offered a welcome drink, and a latte is promptly brought to me once the coffee is ready.
