American Airlines Business LHR-DFW B777-300 Review
오랜만에 프리미엄 비행 탑승후기입니다.
작년 10월에 다녀온 영국 여행기들을 하나씩 정리하는 중인데요. 이 여행에서 에딘버러로 갈때는 루프트한자 비지니스석을 타고갔는데, 돌아올때는 런던에서 American Airlines으로 달라스를 거쳐서 집으로 왔습니다.
처음 발권할때 CLT로 오는 옵션도 있었는데, CLT로 가는 비행기는 B772였고요. 제가 타고온, 오늘 보시는 탑승리뷰 비행기는 B777-300입니다. 어찌보면 큰 차이가 아닐수도 있기는 하지만, 제가 타면서...
