Priority AAccess…what’s it worth? So far, absolutely nothing (say it again!)

This item was filled under [ AA ]

AA’s finally got it’s new Priority AAccess program out (and according to some, it’s bad! BAD!, then again, these are the same people who are raving about LV’s new elite give-aways) I’m not so sure. As all have pointed out, all you get now that you didn’t have before is a cutsy into the front [...]

The decline and fall of American Airlines

This item was filled under [ AA ]

Flew on AA mainline down to BNA tonight.
Here’s the obscenely lacking first class service we got:

Now what, you say, might I be complaining about…well the fact that it’s a Vodka Tonic because apparently it’s too damn hard to stock gin on an airplane these days.
I need my gin dammit! AA this anti-gin aggression [...]

Thank you for calling American Airlines, press 1 to be bent over…

This item was filled under [ AA, AAdvantage ]

American announced it’s latest regressive fees today, and most of the international upgrade co-pays aren’t terribly surprisingly, but the ball-buster is that it now costs 30,000 miles PLUS $100 to upgrade.
Feh. What’s the point of “free” “mile-based” awards if you need to pay a bucket of cash to get the award as well?

QANTAS never crashes…or third times a charm

This item was filled under [ De plane! De plane! ]

And we’ve got our third major safety incident in a week.
Looks like they’re gonna get the up-close-and-personal treatment that AA got earlier this year from the FAA.
I just hope they have it all sorted out by November when I’m flying them ORD/LAX/SYD and back (LAX/SYD in A380…woot!).

USAF First Class BUSTED

This item was filled under [ The Art of the Possible ]

What part of this quad of chairs say, “less than business class?”

Because according to the US Air Force, they’re “less than business-class standard” and “really not that nice.”
Huh…well let’s compare!
Here’s Sinagpore Air’s First class seat:

Here’s UAL’s:

And here’s AA’s:

Well he is right that it’s not B-Class, it’s definately First-compariable.

AA3936 in pictures

This item was filled under [ Life on the road ]

I took AA3936 tonight to get back home…and because I was bored out of my skull, ended up taking a ton of pictures during it.
We started out at CVG, with this lonely tug sitting along side us:

Here’s the F/A doing her final flight check:

As we climbed out, we made a nice long left turn:

And we [...]

This is the flight that never ends…

This item was filled under [ AA, Life on the road ]

…it just goes on and on my friends…:-(
AA4306 took FOREVER yesterday. We were stuck on the tarmac so long , the F/A just hung out in the cockpit:

Oh, and our co-pilot is like 12:

And to save on fuel, instead of turning the A/C on, they opened up the service door to let the breeze in…yes, [...]

AAARGH!
