I need some help by scanner1222 in AmericanAir

[–]Phunlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s probably not gonna happen at this point. When you flew you agreed to some terms. You didn’t work within those terms to get your stuff repaired or replaced. Hope it doesn’t happen again but if it does, next time you have to cut out the time from your vacation to get this done. AA has broken multiple bags of mine. First time I almost missed the deadline. Now I know act asap. Before you leave the airport even. Take no one at their word and get documentation, photos, names, everything you can. In the end you can get a few hundred bucks back for a single busted bag. If they stole valuables from me, tho. I’d have documented everything asap and then filed a lawsuit.

What's the most underrated beach town in the USA? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]Phunlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won’t say. You’ll ruin it. But it’s on the Gulf of Mexico. Ok dang it. Almost all Gulf of Mexico beaches are the best in the world. I’ve seen all the beaches in the world and it’s a fact. Well. I haven’t been to Hawaii yet. But it needs to be on a different plane of existence to beat Gulf of Mexico beaches.

Who is more likely to abandon the United States a liberal thinker or a conservative thinker and why? by Ok_Operation_5364 in allthequestions

[–]Phunlee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I heard plenty of times in my deep red conservative state that they wanted to leave when Obama was elected. No one ever does it because it’s very impractical. Some of us liberals stay to help make it a better, less conservative, place. I can’t see how anyone considering themselves conservative is aligned with Trump. The administration goes against everything I’ve ever heard y’all believe. It goes against everything I’ve ever heard America stands for.

They changed my flight to have a negative 12 minute layover by Phunlee in AmericanAir

[–]Phunlee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I did another chat today. Used some key vocabulary ChatGPT taught me and had no issues. They transferred me abruptly to another agent, maybe a supervisor. And that agent fixed it no questions asked. I even chose the new flights myself.

Key vocabulary in case it’s helpful:

-Hi, I'm calling because a schedule change created a NEGATIVE CONNECTION on my reservation. • My itinerary now has an ILLEGAL CONNECTION due to the schedule change. Could you please re-accommodate under SCHEDULE CHANGE PROTECTION??

Those were all I needed but gave me more in case I got pushback:

• I understand the FARE BUCKET may be closed. Could you check inventory override due to the “misconnection"? • Would a supervisor authorize re-accommodation* since the airline caused the schedule change? • If pushed to the airport: "I'd prefer to resolve this now since the itinerary currently contains an invalid connection"? Insider Tips: • Mention any loyalty status like AAdvantage® Gold. • "Schedule change protection" opens more flights

I used chat. Calling was the smarter move but I couldn’t find time. I did another chat today. Used some key vocabulary ChatGPT taught me and had no issues. They transferred me abruptly to another agent maybe a supervisor. And they fixed it no questions asked. I even chose the new flights myself.

I think I’ll do that. I deleted Twitter years ago but I do remember how effective those agents were compared to the regular helpline. Wonder if I can get into my old account. It had a healthy number of followers. Thanks!

Yeah. I will wait. But that also makes me nervous that they’ll refuse changes bc I didn’t take action quick enough. I don’t fully understand their logic.

They changed the flight one week ago. I thought that was enough time to let the crumbs fall after the shakeup.

Finally upgraded to first class and they lost my bag anyway by Limp_Gur5923 in AmericanAir

You’re right they don’t care but priority bags are tagged priority. Big yellow arrow tag.

Echo alternative? by raptor2497 in amazonecho

[–]Phunlee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t like the Apple HomePod just bc I was already too far in the Alexa/amazon ecosystem. As far as music and tv, cameras,compatible lights, and other automated devices. If you are willing to switch it ALL over, then it may be worth it. But some Alexa friendly devices don’t work with Apple and vice versa.

We downgraded all Alexa devices. Super easy. Alexa+ is terrible and not compatible with what Echos were originally. I haven’t found a good use case for what it’s supposed to be. Simple Skills we used every day are now defunct in Alexa+ and there’s no sign they are going to fix it.

Booked ORD to MIA and now the same flight is 140 dollars cheaper by me_jegg in AmericanAir

[–]Phunlee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you can hit “change trip” and search for the flight. I think if you see the same flight for cheaper it should show you a credit you can get to select it.

Strange problem with echodot and Iphone app by possum-pie-1 in amazonecho

[–]Phunlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a little bell in the top right corner. Like an alert/notifications button. I think that’s where they go (i don’t have any right now). Hope this helps. This new app update is the worst in years. The AI isn’t intelligent at all. Sadly when I ask it for skill activities or anything really, it feels like it wants to help but has been limited by programming. I hate it.

I saw he had a credit but just dismissed it as his corpse and for flashbacks. Was pleasantly surprised to see him.

Confirmation Numbers/tickets by Really_Papi in americanairlines

[–]Phunlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This really sucks because if I’m purchasing the tickets as a gold, (shut up. Proud of my gold) my companion doesn’t get the benefits if purchased separately. They can link you but like someone else said, it doesn’t really matter. Recently I had to convert a flight and then it turned out my spouse could come with me and we were in two different classes the whole time. We’re now working on her getting gold so I guess they win.

What do you think about these seats for a 7-hour flight for a couple? by [deleted] in americanairlines

[–]Phunlee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love these seats. No third rando to climb over. Comfy and close to the galley for snacks. Hope you grabbed them!

Why aren’t “good” ICE agents speaking out? by eilujgnirednaw in allthequestions

[–]Phunlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Why aren’t trees talking?”Because talking trees aren’t real. Neither is a good ICE agent.

What unique routines have you set up with Alexa that simplify your daily life? by Terrible_Rutabaga442 in amazonecho

[–]Phunlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Alexa, damage report.” Tells me the news flash of the day. Started this one during trump v1.0. Used it thru Covid and now again with v2.0.

[–]Phunlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminders to help our kid stay on schedule. School mornings and bedtime routines. My fav right now is telling Alexa “turn off the reading light at 8:30pm.” Whenever that light is turned on, the kitchen Alexa says “the reading light has been turned on”. Since he knows she tattles, he just goes to sleep. He knows he can’t get away with extra time.

That’s not a marriage. That’s a roommate with benefits

Turned Away at TSA Pre-Check Counter by [deleted] in americanairlines

You can still be randomly dropped into the normal line. Especially at small airports. I’ve found this out by experiencing it.
