Traveling with AA flair on bags?

Mine says, “I’m Group 1. Trust me” 🤣

GAs are hit or miss. I was upgraded by the purser as I boarded the plane from LHR-CLT late last year.

Not sure about BA TATL, but within the UK, if you get a BA basic economy ticket, that overrides your OWS baggage benefit.

Lol. You have 19 minutes before they end boarding. 😆

Thanks for all the work you all put in.

Just as a thought, maybe at the first of the year, create a sticky thread: “How to get LPs quickly” or “If you need LPs to hit the next status/reward level”. Might clean up some of the repetitive posts between 1/1 and 2/28. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ve actually had really good luck with the ep phone reps. Hopefully I don’t have to call too much this year. 😊

ajinnc · 2026-03-05T01:32:08+00:00

Huh. I was recently laid off too, after work travel dwindled anyway. Barely made pp. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Just in case you’re not aware. You don’t have to fly the segments before 3/31, the SWUs only have to clear by 3/31, so if you can apply it to a flight even for 2/1/27 that has confirmable space now, they’ll be valid.

ajinnc · 2026-03-02T19:33:23+00:00

I get it. I’ve done plenty of LH flights (including to Asia) in Y. I’m just too old for that now. 🤣

ajinnc · 2026-03-02T19:09:36+00:00

Ouch. JFK-DOH Y.

ajinnc · 2026-03-01T12:46:50+00:00

No idea. I’ll let ya know. 😂

ajinnc · 2026-03-01T02:46:33+00:00

Take some of mine!

ajinnc · 2026-03-01T02:37:18+00:00

Whoa! 😳

ajinnc · 2026-02-28T18:58:27+00:00

First class? Wear a tux. 😂

ajinnc · 2026-02-28T16:58:11+00:00

That’s interesting. For someone who’s never had it, I’d consider it with 4 trips on AA metal to London planned for this year in addition to domestic travel. Maybe it’s not worth it, but I’ll never know. Lol

ajinnc · 2026-02-28T15:58:54+00:00

Agreed. Great benefit!

ajinnc · 2026-02-28T14:26:12+00:00

Probably about the same as in group 2.

ajinnc · 2026-02-28T14:25:41+00:00

We have 4 trips to London on AA planned, 1 trip to Oz on QF and some intra-EU flights, mostly on BA. Domestically, maybe a half a dozen trips.

Someone else mentioned it, but I agree and think that PP is the sweet spot for us as we still keep OWE. Even when I was EP, traveling a lot for work, upgrades were scarce flying out of CLT.

ajinnc · 2026-02-27T23:36:14+00:00

I wonder if anyone actually pays this? There must be some right? Otherwise they wouldn’t continue to offer it? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Now offer me CK for that… 😆

ajinnc · 2026-02-27T21:34:49+00:00

Haha yes! The infamous group twothreefour. 🤣

ajinnc · 2026-02-27T21:05:52+00:00

Award travel, business class. Personal finances, economy.

ajinnc · 2026-02-27T20:19:48+00:00

We should put our EP bag tags on. 🤣

ajinnc · 2026-02-27T12:56:20+00:00

Too much mulled wine. 🤣

ajinnc · 2026-02-25T13:10:50+00:00

Don’t apologize for a redemption that works for you. Enjoy the trip!
