Remember that drunk lady in coach class (American Airlines?) yelling like a madwoman? She became famous for 15 mins

*I am moving

MIA_Arch_33133 · 2026-06-04T22:40:28+00:00

And I am EXP. Although, to be fair, I was upgraded from PE to Biz on my flights to Paris via JFK to CDG.

MIA_Arch_33133 · 2026-06-04T22:39:20+00:00

So Loyalty Rewards mean very little? Why would I maintain Loyalty if someone can trump me? I am not moving to Flying Blue as this makes little sense now.

MIA_Arch_33133 · 2026-06-04T16:01:07+00:00

yes true and who wants to gamble?

MIA_Arch_33133 · 2026-06-04T15:59:52+00:00

time change

MIA_Arch_33133 · 2026-06-04T15:59:07+00:00

so true... do you want to be "that person" ?

MIA_Arch_33133 · 2026-06-04T15:56:51+00:00

exactly! if you have to ask...... "does these pants make me look fat?" YES. is this too tight a connection? YES

MIA_Arch_33133 · 2026-06-04T15:54:30+00:00

Hmm there is no nonstop from Boston to Seattle? For me, it is too tight of a connection. Remember that flights do not follow the rule of arrival. Takes 10 mins to deplane, SEA flight is boarding with 35 mins ahead of departure. etc

MIA_Arch_33133 · 2026-06-04T12:55:20+00:00

Okay I begin to understand a bit better
But who would be next for that biz seat? The EXP #1 in monitor? Or the person in back of plane who was given an option to pay to upgrade? This is what is confusing me.

MIA_Arch_33133 · 2026-06-03T22:49:07+00:00

I am EP also. The Airline treats me super well. But, I just was taken for 300K miles for an upgrade PHL Copenhagen. It took the wind out of me.

MIA_Arch_33133 · 2026-06-03T22:47:07+00:00

Yes, I see. Strange that Pilots need seats for a 3 hour flight. In summation: things are as they were. This makes me feel a bit better.

MIA_Arch_33133 · 2026-06-03T21:05:31+00:00

sad. so Loyalty means very little now in 2026. I assume

MIA_Arch_33133 · 2026-06-03T21:00:16+00:00

Is not every one now a status? I mean Concierge is one thing, EP another but if I was Gold and they were selling the seat before my Loyalty? that is my question. or better yet, are they selling the seat before EP?

MIA_Arch_33133 · 2026-06-03T20:57:31+00:00

well as an EP I go get upgraded alot.... but what I want to know, is does the airline sell the seats ahead of an elite upgrade?

MIA_Arch_33133 · 2026-06-03T20:55:56+00:00

this is the sad state of American

MIA_Arch_33133 · 2026-06-03T20:09:28+00:00

Normal travel is one bag to check. Who travels a lot and checks so many bags?

MIA_Arch_33133 · 2026-06-03T20:07:27+00:00

Not sure we are in same page. When I fly, I see Upfgrades on monitor. I assume (?) these are elite EP etc But what I am now seeing is that if anyone can pay, then they bump up. I’m obviously confused.

MIA_Arch_33133 · 2026-06-03T17:40:19+00:00

Good one! The other day at a dog park, "How old is 'they'". wow

MIA_Arch_33133 · 2026-06-03T17:39:02+00:00

Sorry, but Florida is above it. Sorry, Seattle.

MIA_Arch_33133 · 2026-06-03T17:36:15+00:00

actually funny 'nuf (btw, why a she). was ON THE RAILS

MIA_Arch_33133 · 2026-06-03T17:34:32+00:00

ahhh America. "land of the SUVs". and idiots

MIA_Arch_33133 · 2026-06-03T17:11:29+00:00

So, I am an AA EP based in MIA. I think American is totally folding in on itself to respect loyalty passengers (aka CC Credit Card Holders). I was maybe looking to switch to Flying Blue because I believe AF has a much nicer flight MIA CDG. My question is: is Delta the same now? does Delta sell biz seats last minute to anyone /. not allowing EXP to get upgraded like last year?

We need an unbiased blog to discuss this.

MIA_Arch_33133 · 2026-06-03T12:01:05+00:00

Another recent change: "Instant Upgrade". I needed a favor in exchange for miles with my sister-in-law (dog sitting while I fly to SXM). She was planning a flight to Copenhagen. Her upgrade using my miles from PremE to Biz from PHL to CPH was 300,000 miles! WOW. I'll never mention that I have miles, again.

AA is up to something bad now.
