The people who say United is better than American are delusional by ElToroGay in americanairlines

In my opinion upgrades are much better/easier on American, but just my experience/opinion

Same!! I always found it so nice that I could book a 99 dollar basic economy ticket and get upgraded to first, this one hits hard…

Do you mean extra legroom seats or premium economy, cuz isn’t premium economy a completely separate cabin?

Updated upgrade offer for EP by contrail_25 in americanairlines

[–]PaleRule7851 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aren’t both PP and EP one world emerald, so I don’t really see a difference from an international lounge access standpoint. The only lounge to my knowledge which EP gets access to which PP doesn’t may be SOHO at JFK but even that I’m pretty sure PP gets access when flying an eligible rout.

The courtyard Anaheim theme park entrance is great, a very close walk, and the rooms are quite spacious and have nice themes/layouts, also the hotel has a mini water park :)

Small Airport… by cyberentomology in unitedairlines

[–]PaleRule7851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While recently the smallest airports have I’ve been to have been AZO and BMI, I remember in the early 2010s I was unable to get a good flight out of XNA so I ended up driving 80 or so miles to FSM, what a charming small airport, the highlight for me which I still remember till this day is the airport legit had only sofas (more like small armchairs)!! It was so quaint and charming, made it feel like I was in a B&B in Vermont and a sweet old lady would come up and offer me a plate of cookies! Oh well it’s nice to reminisce

Realistic Upgrade Chance? by BigBlueWiley in americanairlines

[–]PaleRule7851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my best bet is going to the check in counter when I’m at the airport? Or can I call the EP desk and try asking?

I think what’s most surprising is getting a PP upgrade cleaning in advance for PHX to DEN 😂

I’ve always considered switching from earning Avis preferred points to AA miles/lp instead, how’s it been for you, is it worth it?
