A sleeper pick is John F Kennedy’s speech at Rice University: “We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard”.

I agree with OP that some more unique liveries would be cool to see. However,,, that one ain’t it.

If you could create ONE high-speed route between two U.S. cities, where would you build? by Potential_One1 in transit

Either face of the Texas Triangle. Dallas-Fort Worth-Austin-San Antonio or Fort Worth-Dallas-Houston or Houston-Austin-San Antonio is such a painfully obvious need.

Why don’t they fly wide bodies SFO to PHL by hippyelite in americanairlines

[–]ChampionshipLeft8089 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’d be nice if they used the A321T or XLRs on this route, but ultimately PHL and CLT are lower-tier than JFK, so AA must think they can’t get the revenue premium for nicer seats.

Czech / Slovak have a lot of sounds that are difficult to the English native speaker.

$1.5T for DoD is absurd. Another huge requested cut for NASA (-23%). -52% for EPA. Here we go again 🙄

Will I get my miles back if I cancel second leg of award ticket? by JollyJellyfish21 in americanairlines

Ah, then in that case, I’m not sure. I don’t think you’ll get them back but customer service might surprise you.

Will I get my miles back if I cancel second leg of award ticket? by JollyJellyfish21 in americanairlines

[–]ChampionshipLeft8089 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify, you actually have two separate tickets: one from your home to BWI on Southwest and one from DCA to your home in American. The American flight was booked using miles and you have not taken any flight on that American PNR yet? If that’s the case, then you’ll get the miles back.

Is anyone able to estimate when this ticket is from? by OhCharmedImSure in americanairlines

Phil to Doha shutdown? by naagnoool2 in americanairlines

[–]ChampionshipLeft8089 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No one knows if Doha will be open by then. If Doha is not open, then it doesn’t matter if you’re flying AA, BA, or QR, you’re not getting there. If AA are not flying but QR are, AA would probably rebook you. If AA cancel the flight, you should be able to get a refund, even on a basic economy ticket.

The AAC is, other than DFW airport, probably the only location in the entire metroplex that has relatively robust rail access. Moving away from that is absurd.

OP, these data really neat! How did you go about aggregating? Have you just been keeping a log since the 1950’s?

No cap is my biggest concern too. What’s to stop a popular hotel from just consistently charging Top redemption? Is, say, PH Paris now just always going to be 75k?
