American Airlines is upgrading its Boeing 777-300ER planes by increasing premium seats from 116 to 144 and eliminating first class to focus on business and premium economy travelers. The retrofit, starting November 19, aims to attract higher-spending customers and improve profitability, with all 20 planes expected to be updated by 2027.
