American Airlines KODIAK Airbus A321S First Class Trip Report | Philadelphia to Chicago

Hey, all! Thanks so much for checking out my newest Trip Report! Hope you all enjoyed it!

I was super fortunate to be able to catch American's Brand New Project Kodiak Cabin on their Airbus A321S (Sharklets) aircraft! There are currently roughly 219 American A321's in the fleet, and out of those, roughly only 10 aircraft currently feature the Kodiak Configuration. And merely 3 A321 Sharklet aircraft feature this awesome interior! Nonetheless, this interior will eventually become standard across LUS A321 and LAA A321S planes! Retrofits for the A321 are expected to pick up in speed soon, starting with the older LUS A321's.

Kodiak is a project housed within American's Project Oasis, which is their fleet harmonization plan for the Boeing 737 and Airbus A321 aircraft. Kodiak fixes issues with the first generation of the Oasis first class seat. It includes enhancements such as more drink storage, more under=seat storage, a tablet holder & USB port on the seatback, and more.

What are your thoughts on this brand new interior for American Airlines? It will eventually become the standard for all 737 and A321 birds. Are you in favor of them taking out the IFE screens for this product? Let me know below! I was highly impressed, and I view it as a major upgrade across all cabins.
