So do lay flat bed seats no longer exist on any airline in the Was to LAX or San Diego route? Cant seem to find.

Thanks

I picked a random date for you.

Nov 1. Flight 1831 on United has them.

WAS to LAX isn’t a redeye route.

Why would you need a lay flat on a 5 hour flight going west?

That’s a day flight. Why would you want to lay flat?

You are incorrect, Delta still offers lie flat business seats on their DCA-LAX flight, and United often has them on IAD-LAX when they run 777s on the route - but that can change/shift day to day and month to month.

Not sure why that's relevant. Every airline flying from JFK-LAX and JFK-SFO (except Alaska) has lie flats in business class because it's a premium route and they can get the revenue for the more expensive product.

Get legs up. More space. Better plane.

American offers transcontinental lay flat in Flagship Business (which is different from regular business).

Yes but only on certain domestic routes, mostly JFK to LAX/SFO. They don't have that product on any routes out of IAD/DCA/BWI.

Because it is cozy and fun.

Op here. I was also asking about the return. I will do more research but was having issues with American showing me seat maps so I could check. This for flights in Jan.

United not running them in my Jan dates.

United sometimes has 777s and 787s flying IAD to LAX, SF and San Diego. These are twin aisle planes that have biz class, that usually have lie flat seats. Most of the flights on Inited are 737s, which are single aisle planes with no lie flat seating. If these seats are that important to you, be sure to look at the aircraft type when booking and to look at the seating diagram/chart.

American does not run any planes with lie flat seats on any routes out of the DC region.
