American Airlines is refreshing the interiors on its Boeing 767-200s, the planes they use for cross-country flights like JFK to LAX.

It’s not a route I fly, but from what I hear, it’s about time for a revamp. The planes’ seats and decor have reportedly been looking rather run down lately, so this is a welcome change. United classed it up a couple years ago on their so-called “ps” flights out of JFK, so the back-and-forth competition between the #1 and #2 airlines in the U.S. continues apace.

The new three-class planes will feature motorized seats in first class, new handheld video players, and a general sprucing-up of the cabin’s carpets, walls, etc. The airline recently changed some menus and is offering fluffier pillows in first class. (But good luck getting a pillow in the back!)
