JetBlue/United mechanical issue & diversion

This was a trip that I took a while ago. I had it written up, but never posted it. I was going home for a few days, for Thanksgiving. I had booked myself on JetBlue and United before the semester started. On the day of the flight I got to the airport around 10pm, for my 1159pm departure. JetBlue 136...

Re: American A330 Philadelphia - Los Angeles & 737-800/A319

Just a quick question as I am a little confused. You write you started pushback 6 minutes early but you have your Sched Departure time as 1604 and actual as 1621. That would be 17 minutes late. You do realize the published departure time is the pushback time and then there is the off time which is ...

American A330 Philadelphia - Los Angeles & 737-800/A319

I had some AA miles that I wanted to use, and decided to go home for a few days. I booked it two days before the flight. This trip, would be the first time I flew on an AA A330. I was looking forward to trying out another AA widebody. The only other I had been on, was a 767-300. On the day of the fl...

Yep, there were houses right near the airport.

Cartagena, Colombia on Delta & JetBlue

For the winter break, I was going to Cartagena, Colombia. When we were looking at flights, the options for flights included either a connection in ATL or MIA. Since several people in my family would be flying from JFK, we decided to just fly down the night before. Then the next morning fly nonstop f...

Phoenix - Seattle on Delta and Alaska

I was going to be a little short in qualifying for elite status on DL. I decided to take an extra flight to make sure I qualified. I originally had a flight on another airline, booked to DEN. Then DEN-SEA on DL. My flight ended up being delayed, and I would have missed the DL flight. After calling D...

Flying back to where I started from AA & UA

In August I booked my flight home for thanksgiving. I decided to go with AA for the flight out, and UA for the return. I originally booked PHX-SFO-ORD-SYR. A few weeks after booking, there was a schedule change, and I switched to PHX-LAX-CLT-SYR. I was glad I made this change because on the day of t...

Re: American Airlines Phoenix - New York with multiple delays & cancellations

Not to veer too far off-subject, but why is there a policy of requiring the exact routing on an award ticket during IROPS? Seems like an arbitrary rule that only makes things more difficult. I get it if it is a voluntary change, but why not allow them when things go wrong? (Obviously they *do* allo...

Phoenix - New York City on Southwest & jetBlue A321

I had plans to go to New York City in November. I originally booked myself on AA from PHX-LAX-JFK for the outbound, and B6 A321 for the return. When I was looking at flights, I noticed that B6 was going to be using the A321 for the JFK-PHX flight. This is the first time they have sent the A321 to PH...

Re: American Airlines Phoenix - New York with multiple delays & cancellations

Seems like a typical "AA" experience, especially of out NY. There's a reason why they are far behind Delta and now getting further behind United. I prefer DL and UA over AA, but this time a lot of the delays were due to weather. I was pleased the way they allowed me to change my flights b...

After school ended, I decided to go home for a few days. I was planning to finish up my multi engine training before I went home. I booked a flight with miles about a week in advance.

Cathay Pacific 777-300 YVR-JFK

A few weeks ago, I read that CX was ending their flight from YVR-JFK. When I heard this, I decided I wanted to take the flight before it ends. I called AA and found the flight in October, was available for 12,500 miles. This also gave me the opportunity to use a DL credit that was expiring. I was lo...
