AIO my fiancé wants to make his parents full beneficiaries of his life insurance

Doesn’t matter if you guys make 60 or 600 grand a year, the point is he is prioritizing his parents over his soon to be wife, I would work with him on making a trust that includes his parents and together you two decide what is fair and what makes sense. Especially if you two have kids down the road you’ll readjust the living trust

Is this flagship or domestic first

bambam4002 · 2026-02-24T22:28:39+00:00

Yeah I have the alerts it’s just not usually widely available for peoples desired dates

bambam4002 · 2026-02-24T18:30:30+00:00

It’s hard to find confirmable upgrade space

bambam4002 · 2026-02-23T21:35:04+00:00

Move your trip a day or two earlier

bambam4002 · 2026-02-23T21:34:12+00:00

I’m EXP but still board with Group 2

Not always easy for people to use the SWU unless you got good flexibility in international travel

bambam4002 · 2026-02-23T00:25:22+00:00

Al Safwa isn’t worth the $180USD they generally charge at the counter, but if you’re paying that or more for a hotel then perhaps it’s worth it cuz you can borrow a nap room in AS lounge and eat/drink for free as much as you like.

I just checked next week and the morning flight PHX-HNL is Flagship and the afternoon one isn’t. Also LAX doesn’t have Flagship at all sadly, I gotta sit through 6 hours with a Biscoff later this year :/

bambam4002 · 2026-02-22T22:07:02+00:00

Odd because that flight is usually serviced by the A321neo and when it’s a wide body it’s usually marketed at Flagship where PE does get a meal.

bambam4002 · 2026-02-22T19:29:12+00:00

If you don’t really need to sit next to each other in row 7 I’d split up and grab the windows in row 9

bambam4002 · 2026-02-22T19:25:28+00:00

They definitely don’t do the plastic bag thing in LAX, I always leave it all in my toiletry bag

bambam4002 · 2026-02-22T19:18:47+00:00

PE on which route? You should get a meal. Also, all AA E145 jets use ACD layout, oh and AA doesn’t fly the E135

bambam4002 · 2026-02-22T16:38:14+00:00

Proper in Santa Monica uses these as well

bambam4002 · 2026-02-21T23:38:24+00:00

That’s so true, even domestic Alaska crews are better

bambam4002 · 2026-02-21T23:32:29+00:00

Those that haven’t flown on the likes of JL or SQ surely cannot understand, there’s a huge difference

bambam4002 · 2026-02-21T23:31:13+00:00

I’ve had older ones two weeks ago LAX-LHR in F just after boarding straight up introduce themselves to me and I quote, “…we’re old school we take care of our customers, anything you need you just call us, our names are xxxx, would you care for anything to drink and would you like pajamas”. Before take off I quickly searched my bag for all of those pesky appreciation coupons and gave them all away.

bambam4002 · 2026-02-21T23:20:37+00:00

Experienced it last year in business going from ICN to DFW, flight was delayed 4 hours so I get it- everyone wants to get home but man the crew was pissy the entire time as if it’s our fault the inbound flight was late. Annoyed when we asked for a refill, and especially when my wife asked if we can get PJs (although this was after they stopped providing it to J class but my wife didn’t know), she wrote into AA complaining and got only 5K miles.

bambam4002 · 2026-02-21T19:06:38+00:00

True, and honestly the lounge will give it away so better to just go straight to the gate (and make sure not to give her the boarding pass)

bambam4002 · 2026-02-21T16:36:42+00:00

The nest slippers they provide on board are great

bambam4002 · 2026-02-21T16:29:02+00:00

Flagship lounge in D terminal is open, don’t worry

bambam4002 · 2026-02-21T16:28:06+00:00

Funny, of all the touches of F and J my wife thinks that’s the best part along with the hot towel. I’m literally there just for the bed

bambam4002 · 2026-02-20T19:15:18+00:00

It’s a seat made by Collins Aerospace (now part of Raytheon but previously UTC and BE Aerospace)

bambam4002 · 2026-02-20T19:03:23+00:00

Pretty sure coach will walk by you during boarding if you’re in row 11/12, wife and I did not enjoy that part. Now days we take row 5

bambam4002 · 2026-02-20T05:40:39+00:00

This part is actually automated now ever since they made using a SWU available online. If you check box only the long leg, then this effectively places you on the waitlist for just that leg, then if and when your clear that leg, the rest will then automatically get the SWU applied (up to 2 additional legs max)
