American Airlines will begin flying their new A321’s from New York-Los Angeles on January 7, 2014, meaning if you’re looking to get on of these flights the first day, make sure to get your ticket now.

These new planes will feature three classes of services including First, Business, and Coach, making them the only airline to fly a three class product between New York and Los Angeles. Most of the other carriers such as Delta, United, Virgin America and now JetBlue offer just a two class product with Business Class and coach.

Details of the New A321’s include:

• The First Class cabin will be outfitted with 10 fully lie-flat seats in a 1-1 configuration giving every seat direct aisle access – a feature that no other domestic airline offers.
• The Business Class cabin will be outfitted with 20 fully lie-flat seats, designed by BE, in a 2-2 configuration.
• In the Main Cabin, the seats will be designed by Recaro and arranged in a 3-3 configuration. The option to enjoy more legroom is available with 36 Main Cabin Extra seats and the aircraft also offers 36 Main Cabin seats.

The A321 transcontinental aircraft will replace American’s existing fleet of Boeing 767-200s and fly between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and JFK and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
