Interesting observation

We flew home on Monday.

No illness for DH or me! YAY🎉

However, we were on what appeared to be a NEW 737.

More legroom; monitors on the seats in front of us; plugs AC and DC to plug in devices.

Hmmm... thank you for a new, cleaner plane, American Airlines.

This was the first time in many years that I felt that an airline CARED about me. How nice. And we're not ill this time.

More leg room?? Yes! I'm only 5' 4" and I don't have a lot of room. Glad you had a safe and roomy return.

It's the little things.

@LTT1, that's pretty awesome, since you almost always seem to pick up some sort of illness whenever you fly. I'm so happy it was a better experience for you this time. and wow, a new plane? that appeared to be clean and had good leg room? it's a miracle

We fly north in a couple of weeks and on American too. DH is 6'3" 290 and is very uncomfortable. He puts up with it as he does not drive long distances anymore. A problem lately is that by the time we board to our seats, the overhead luggage compartments are filled and our carry on bags end up in places not near us. I think that is an issue the airlines need to address.

It IS!

@LTT1, Glad you did not get sick but you have to take into consideration all the people on the jet in close quarters. If one person has just gotten over the flu, anyone in the near proximity will probably get the flu.

I think whether or not you get the flu depends more on your immune system and whether you are immunized than on proximity to a person recovering from the flu.
