The Best US Domestic Flights - Bargain Forum for Travellers

I also see about $150-170 one-way, 299 round trips, on most carriers (with Orbitz, Travelocity and the JetBlue and Southwest pages). Most aircrafts from size 737/A320 are equipped with the same seat for each "travel class". Aeroplanes and passenger berths are somewhat narrower for local jet or turbo-prop aircrafts (smaller aircrafts for short distances and/or smaller airports).

From Los Angeles to New York you should not have to be concerned about aircraft smaller than a 737/A320. As a rule, the US carriers are awarded Skytrax 3 stars, with SEAsia outperforming 5 stars (SIA, MAS, Cathay Pacific, etc.). US domestic carriers are more like buses, only quicker (and you are paying for your check-in baggage on the airplane, where it is free on the bus).

When you want a better seating experience, First Classic is available from many carriers for ~535 dollars per way in the southwest and ~730 dollars per way from other carriers. Remember that domestic first-class seats are usually like old-fashioned cosmopolitan buisness classic seating (wider, more legroom and more than economic, slightly more reclined, but far from "lie-flat" and possibly 80s styled (multiple musical streams and perhaps a movie or television show on OHP screens)).

Instead, some services may be fitted with cable TV. Certain operations may be performed in aeroplanes that have been appropriately designed for domestic operations (e.g. they may be continued abroad, or they may be performed in aeroplanes that are temporary in domestic operations) and may be better outfitted. She doesn't take much notice of the bigger seats and doesn't put the additional costs into a "one-way" flight, so she always favors the bus unless we get a free update.
