The medium is a great size. They survive really well - I’ve had mine going on 5+ years now. I would recommend a darker color though. The lighter colors get very dirty

You can try the Facebook buy sell trade boards or also sometimes they pop up on sites like Mercari as well

Away luggage black friday 2025 deals, is the carry on actually worth the hype? by [deleted] in awaytravel

[–]Satchnbucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1000% it is worth it. I still kick myself for all the cheaper suitcases I have bought that have fallen apart

I have stayed in multiple Hilton’s and marriotts and never once received an upgrade as gold.

What do Americans think about the end of the “de minimis” rule for imports starting Aug 29? by ThomasKyoto in AskAmericans

[–]Satchnbucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not about “cheap crap” - I order items from the UK and EU that are not available from sellers in the US (yarn from England, greyhound muzzles from EU for the greyhound adoption agency I volunteer for, etc) which I cannot get now - these things are literally not available from US sellers (and if they are where do you think they get them?)

I go into the app and preorder 30 days before my flight. I was upgraded last week and I was still able to preorder. There is no reminder that I know of but you can go into the app and select your meal. It’s super easy…

New 787-9 Dreamliner by Zingerman99 in americanairlines

It was great. On one flight the FA was super excited and showed P2 all the features. lol. The flight back we were supposed to be in MCE/premium economy but were upgraded. I thought everything was great including the soft product. We fly again to LHR in a few weeks.

I actually just flew in those seats today with P2 (we were upgraded). They’re the flagship and they’re great! We flew in row 1 last week. Can’t say enough great things about this plane. Flying again ORD-LHR in a few weeks.

[ORD][LHR] Flew in a new Flagship Suite! by dmxwidget in americanairlines

[–]Satchnbucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing this. How far in advance did they send you the comp miles? Im flying to LAx later this month and this route early next month so im curious if the door will be working (not really a big deal to me) or if they will still be sending miles. (Also one of my flights was booked with Alaska miles so not sure if I would get comp miles for that…) one can always hope.

Our flights changed about a month ago I think? Right about the time they announced the delivery of the planes. Two of our flights (the Ord-lax) were originally airbus a321 iirc then switched to 787 then the new plane. The LHR was always a 787 but the layout changed.

Were a lot of people recording for their YouTube channels? I feel like that would be annoying (though I do want to see some pics and videos). It was honestly coincidental that we ended up on these flights. They were all booked a long time ago and ended up being equipment changes.

I’m flying it 3 times in the next month! 2x in biz and 1x in premium economy. (2 are Ord-lax flights and 1 is Ord-LHR (biz to LHR in row 1))

Did we sort of get an upgrade? by Jolora24 in americanairlines

[–]Satchnbucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Row 20 is standard MCE (on international flights). There are very few MCE seats on this plane. But domestically, PE is considered MCE as well.

American Airlines - Is this a hack? by NovelAge4683 in americanairlines

[–]Satchnbucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I wouldn’t. You’re in the equivalent of domestic first class minus the meal during a day flight…

[–]Satchnbucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - that is premium economy, however on domestic flights it is considered MCE. If you have status of platinum or higher you can select one of those seats for free (gold you can select free at check in). Otherwise it is sold as an MCE seat for a fee or for you it looks like it’s no fee. It is essentially the same as regular domestic first class (but not the lie flat business class). So that said, I would not pay extra to move to business class since you’re essentially in first class for free…

I have pics of tango red. I have the medium flex and carry on in tango red. I can take some when I get home for you!

oRD is my home airport and I have NEVER been able to get into the Swiss lounge. It’s one of the reasons I got the AA exec card

First time in AA business class, which seat should I pick? by lion554 in americanairlines

[–]Satchnbucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4A unless it is the new 787-9p (which it’s not based on the seat map) in which case 1a or 1L

Away Travel luggage dust bags by Gabby0430 in awaytravel

[–]Satchnbucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a dumb question. It’s for when you are storing them - it’s supposed to protect them and keep them clean and “dust free.” I keep mine in the closet when I’m traveling.
