I was especially excited about this flight because this was to be my first flight on a Boeing 767. Never having been on the 767, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was excited! I had a window seat for the flight which was nice. In addition to being my first 767, this was the first national widebody flight I have ever been on.

Flying back over the western United States was again another cool experience to have from the window. I didn't have internet access on this flight, so I couldn't see where were, live, unless I looked up at the moving map on the ceiling TV's.
In general, the AA767 flight was pretty good. I wasn't really all that impressed with the seats. I remember them being pretty tight and not comfortable in general. After landing, I couldn't imagine having to sit in those seats for 9+ hours, on a flight to South America or Europe, as this plane frequently does. This was my first widebody flight within the United States, which I thought was very cool. Even though the seats weren't great... I'd certainly recommend flying on a larger aircraft, like this if you have the option.
