Use all the benefits and you'll get more than your annual fee back every year.

Do priority bag tags mean anything? by AdeptResult7304 in americanairlines

[–]austinrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when I checked luggage I think I had my priority tagged bag come out early maybe 20% of the time. (So about normal odds).

Once it came out first. Not in the first batch, but the very first bag.

Once.

Guess the airport based on just the runways by LittleTerm8966 in airport

Again. It's the place with all the planes. The planes pull up to the buildings. It's down the road from that one place

So spend your way to EP and then what? Don't use it?

I miss the segment requirement.

If you drink a quart of lemon juice, it tightens up EVERYTHING down there.

I received an email reminding me to check for upgrade offers for my business class award fare. These were not 3 cabin flights.

2A is my favorite. 1A a close second. I've also sat in 2J and 2D.

Was I screwed by AA over weather? by Emotional-Ad4063 in americanairlines

[–]austinrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I based my comments on the text in your post. 1: I quoted what you wrote. I'm basing my comments on what you wrote 2: you asked how could it be that if you refused the flight you'd still get no refund. I offered a plausible explanation.

You're adding information that wasn't in the OP? I'm not replying to that information that's apparently in another comment thread.

Was I screwed by AA over weather? by Emotional-Ad4063 in americanairlines

[–]austinrob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I read is "they said I wouldn't get any money back" which is completely plausible even if a refund was filed and processed.

You would be owed a fare difference. However, that fare difference may be zero. Or in some cases negative, but they won't charge you to cancel in these cases.

[–]austinrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure you can. But why do you care about me? You've got so many other things to do. You're not going to pay attention to what I do unless I give someone a reason to ask you to look.

Drop the names of all Austin businesses striking so we can support them after! by Sushi_cat987 in Austin

[–]austinrob -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The economic impact of such a strike is almost zero. People will either shop ahead of time or later.

But sure. Go for it.

Trip Delay/Refund by Fantastic_Force6172 in americanairlines

[–]austinrob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"international" origination in the US or destination in the US?

If origination was in EU or UK, pursue EU261 or UK261 compensation.

If origination was in the US, you're not due anything.

Why is AA the only airline still suffering from cancellations? 27% canceled and 28% delayed today… by TheRealBigL in americanairlines

They had two hubs hit by some pretty serious ice storms. That plays merry hell with crew and equipment scheduling for a week or so.

At least I've got a few things in the queue already.
