Domestic First Class in USA

[QFPlatinumAddict]

Hi,

Have a work conference/holiday coming up in the US, and I need to do a few internal flights (LAX-LAS-ABQ-LAX) and noticed that AA First is less than double the price of economy !?! Firstly is it normally that cheap? And what status credits will I get as a QFF WP? The distance for many of these flights is 300-400 miles, so I assumed that the cheap economy seats would be 10 SCs, oh and the booking class for the First flights is 'P'.

For information on how to do this yourself, see this post: How to research and book an AA "Instant Upgrade" fare to maximise status earn

(and that thread in general)

F in the USA is a great way to get status credits, but don't expect that much from it. I found the FAs pleasant and the seats are fine. No food on flights less than ? - 2 hours I think. You get priority access and boarding, but not even lounge access domestically unless you have status or paid membership, which you do. Most of the people travelling F seem to be upgrades.
