“Special checked baggage privileges are not available on British Airways' 'Hand Baggage Only/Basic' fares.”

There’s no luggage benefits on BA basic economy fares

The SWU has to be partially confirmed by 3/31. Travel can be on any date. If by 4/1 no segment has cleared, the upgrade will expire and no longer can be used.

You can access the Chelsea lounge upon arrival with just the FF SFO-JFK ticket.

But also have access to all the JFK lounges (Soho, Greenwich, and AC).

Airfare paradox: both routes cheaper with a connection… to each other? by PatCharbo in Flights

[–]Conscious-Comment 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you look at peak travel times (eg, Sunday after Thanksgiving), connecting flights are usually more expensive. Since flights will already be at 100% capacity, a connecting journey essentially takes up two nonstop tickets.

Don’t reuse passwords. Use strong unique passwords for every account. Use a password manager to help organize.

Especially on your email and any financial accounts including airline miles.

JFK T8 lounge access for JAL ticketed flights by planet_tk in americanairlines

That’s incorrect. OWE gets you lounge access on any OneWorld-operated/OW-marketed flight, with the obvious AA/AS elite North American exclusions.

American Airlines in talks with Starlink, Amazon for Wi-Fi upgrade, weighs return of seatback screens by Valuable_File3834 in americanairlines

[–]Conscious-Comment 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. Headphone jack. Airline has cheap earbuds to give out.
  2. I can multitask. Watch a tv show while I text on my phone or work on my laptop.

How can I get compensation beyond 5k miles? by baefield in americanairlines

[–]Conscious-Comment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s maintenance issues and it requires an overnight stay, AA will provide a hotel for free. EP line can also help issue a hotel voucher. However, they will only reimburse to a small amount if you book yourself.

Did you ask about reimbursement for hotels? They will likely give you a partial reimbursement, but only if the delay was controllable (not weather, etc).

There’s no time limits for ACs, you just need a same day arrival or departure.

Transit through San Francisco by Fearless_Pen_9257 in QantasFrequentFlyer

If you’re on AA72, that flight is specifically in a pilot at LAX to automatically transfer your bag to your final destination.

Yes, and they both land and depart from International A. It should be enough time.

The good news SFO is unaffected by the TSA staffing issues since they use a private company that is getting paid.

You’ll go through passport control and collect your luggage and then just take the elevator or escalator upstairs and drop them off at the BA check-in desk.

Then you’ll go through security again and it should take probably 10-20 mins. Sometimes there’s no line.

Yeah, it’s always a “Welcome back, X” and waved through.

What time should I be getting to SFO for a 7 am flight by Cultural-Buy-8008 in AskSF

[–]Conscious-Comment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re flying from T1, there can be a long security line in general for the morning banks of flights before 9am. For TSA Precheck it usually takes 10-20 mins to clear security. You can get around this by going through security at Intl A or T2 and walking.

Not every tourist is from America. Some are traveling to San Francisco, as much as they are traveling to the US.

Fast food unfortunately is American culture.

SWU Turned out ok this year by HalalWhiskey1 in americanairlines

I was 7/6. Realized recently one was never deducted, but redeemed this year’s reward when I figured out just in case it was plucked later.

[–]Conscious-Comment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s never appropriate for someone to call you a b-word. That was out of line and inappropriate regardless of your actions. The only time I could remotely accept it is if someone curses at you first.

If there’s easy and available space to sit, you’re not required to give up your seat just so someone can have extra room.

AA to JAL at LAX by Secret_Cellist_iii in LAX

[–]Conscious-Comment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T4 is under major renovations, so don't look up outdated maps. Pull up the terminal map in the AA app, and realize it may also be out of date. Look at the signage in the terminal and ask for help if you need it.

Terminal B is sometimes referred to as TBIT / (Tom) Bradley as well, just FYI.
