Flying down to AUS last night, I was a rather new American Airlines 737-800 with (p)leather seats and AVOD TVs at every seat.

The guy next to me commented on how nice and new the plane was, and how it was nice to fly an airline with new planes.

'American' and 'new planes' is not something I'm used to hearing but I guess they are getting more and more new planes.

Did they fly A320 & 319 previously? I'm not sure I've flown in one before. - Meg Nov 4, 09:01

interesting - typcially they have the oldest planes - in my limited experience -- nm - Pippy Nov 4, 08:11 9
- Historically they had rather old planes (tons of MD-80s) but, not long before the merger, they ordered 400+ new planes. - ty97 Nov 4, 08:23 2
  - Unfortunately all our MD-80s are being replaced by regional planes. - spamlet Nov 4, 08:46
  - Yeah!! I'm stucking using them the most of all -- nm - Pippy Nov 4, 08:41
- I get slightly worried when I'm on a plane and they still have ashtrays -- nm - Pippy Nov 4, 08:12 5
