The flight boarded and departed as scheduled at 4:15 pm local time. The flight was very smooth, and the service was good. We had booked an aisle and middle seat, but upon checking in at the kiosk, I found that the window seat on our row was still available. I changed my wife&#8217;s seat assignment, and we were able to enjoy the flight with an extra seat of elbow space between us. There was an incident when we tried to check our 2 free bags using our American Airlines Visa card. Our connecting flight from Los Angeles to Vancouver was operated by\u00a0partner Alaska Airlines. There is reportedly suppose to be a 2:45 layover minimum to transfer the bags, and our scheduled layover was 2:36. This prevented the system from issuing our luggage tags. The counter agents were able to manually generate the baggage tags, and were very helpful and polite.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">American Airlines 2607 flight review facts:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Aircraft: Airbus A319<\/li>\n<li>Legroom: Acceptable<\/li>\n<li>Aircraft condition: Good<\/li>\n<li>Aircraft cleanliness: Poor (our row had\u00a0not been vacuumed)<\/li>\n<li>Departure: On-time<\/li>\n<li>Arrival: On-time<\/li>\n<li>Non-alchoholic beverages: Free<\/li>\n<li>Snacks: Free<\/li>\n<li>Overall score: 7 out of 10<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1151\" src=\"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/American-Airlines-2607-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"American Airlines 2607\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/American-Airlines-2607-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/American-Airlines-2607-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/American-Airlines-2607-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Final thoughts<\/strong>: We have had several\u00a0flights on American Airlines over the past 2 years. It was nice to be on a newer aircraft, as we have experienced at least 2 aircraft changes in the past that involved a 4 hour departure delay each time. The new management that came in from the US Air merger have been working to modernize the American Airlines fleet. I do find it\u00a0strange to be flying on both American Airlines and an Airbus aircraft, however.\u00a0We will continue to fly American\u00a0Airlines in the future\u00a0based on\u00a0fare and scheduling. I look forward to seeing the airlines continual improvements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American Airlines 2607 flight review: My wife and I departed the Austin Bergstrom International Airport today on American Airlines flight 2607.
