A bit off topic but are there any photos online of UA's Y product on the 77W?
Jump to postFrom the ME3 in MIA from a month ago and I quote Miami: I lost hope on Emirates. They simply want to fly to FLL because of B6 but can't make it happen. Etihad is a possibility because of their partnership with AA. Mark my words, Etihad will be in Miami before Emirates enters the South Florida marke ...
Jump to postFrom experience, if there is a flight during your preferred times then they will rebook you without a fee. I suggest looking at these flights again and call AA to see if they can rebook you to those flights you want.
Jump to postWhat happened to the UA club at T7? Is there any plans for other airlines to use that space or for BA to expand their lounge?
Jump to postEK actually has 4x daily A380 at JFK including one to MXP. While I don't doubt DY will grow in the next decade, EK is completely different. First, that base fare doesn't get you a checked luggage or a meal. As much as I'm a fan of DY, EK is still a full service airline whereas DY is not. Second, EK ...

Hi All, My mom is set to fly tomorrow (Sept 5) on AA 154. She was rerouted through LAX due to a 5-hour delay on tomorrow's flight. Today's AA 154 is showing with a 17-hour delay. I called American and they said this was due to "a new FAA regulation that requires the crew for a mandatory rest be...
Jump to postJFK-HNL is technically a domestic flight - do DL offer any complimentary food on this flight? As it's about 8 hours long isn't it? Whereas JFK-DUB, is about 6 hours long and complimentary food is provided? DL doesn't operate JFK-HNL. Only HA operates that route and HA is a rare exception among US c...

Evacuation video from inside the cabin. Just watch how many people are grabbing their bags. Apparently people will never learn that.

Jump to postAs echoed by others, I am glad that everyone got out safe.
I would like to add from a crisis communications perspective, EK handled it well. If you check their Twitter, Facebook and website, details of the incident were posted with such speed and thoroughness.

In short: don't expect much. The 787 is a great plane but the seats in Y are noticeably narrower. AA service can be a hit or miss internationally. Also, as far as meals, definitely not on par with their Asian counterparts. The only great thing about AA's long-haul service (787, 77Ws and refurbished ...

Jump to postAgreed. I frequent the SYR-CLT route and has been operated by the updated A319 configuration. Avoid the bulkhead, the legroom is restricted and there's a lot more space on Row 2. Plus there's full recline and have underseat storage.
Jump to postWow, I wish US airlines would take this step. I am more than willing to pay a bit more and get a quality meal than settling with a substandard sandwich or one of those random snack boxes. What's even more amazing is that they offer these on such a short flight. Would love to try OS the next time I'm...
Jump to postThanks for the report. Looks like an awful way to fly across the pond. I can guarantee you that some of the "food" I had in a NYC public school as a middle/high school student are better in taste and quality. Real shame, makes AA's international Y meal look decent.

From experience, legacy airlines do have some very competitive fares that are equal or lower than their LCC counterparts.
