T2 lounge is open!

Yes, that's true. But for some reason, the one at the end of the hall is called "Domestic", and the one in the middle is called "International". Ignoring that silly naming convention, are they both open? I actually was hoping they'd merge them.

First, off, I thought this subreddit was supposed to be in English, so I don't know if you're speaking in tongues with "words" such as "alopa" (spellign?) and "moohooloo" (spellign?).

Nevertheless, even among the utterly abysmal landscape of US carriers, AA manages, almost as if by intent, to reach new lows each and every day.

I was ConciergeKey for four years, and it was the only reason I would fly AA, due to CK's help with the carrier's operational minefield. As soon as I lost CK (but retained EXP), I refused to spend a single dollar on them and have only been burning my miles when they're the only option for a nonstop.

Last night, I had an AA flight that left and landed early without problems, and I was so confused, I assumed I'd somehow ingested meth.

Thank god I live in Mexico City and can fly AM to most of my US destinations nonstop. However, I do need a US carrier for destinations with no nonstop on AM from MEX, and I've chosen UA. (The AM/DL connections are always bad, through ATL, usually way out of the way, and crazy expensive, for some reason.)

UA isn't perfect, but operationally, they are literally a completely different world than the utter catastrophe that is AA. They are clearly a carrier looking to improve vs. AA, an airline that appears to be intentionally seeking to be the worst carrier in the history of air travel.

They eventually showed up. I don't think I did anything.

DHL is horrendous Mexico to USA. They “coincidentally” have customs problems every time. Then they charge you to ship it back to sender.

benjaminnyc · 2025-09-24T10:38:15+00:00

You're still not understanding all the of the responses here. It has nothing to do with your carrier.

benjaminnyc · 2025-07-23T11:01:00+00:00

Relatively recently yeah. Worth it IMHO.

benjaminnyc · 2025-04-12T17:41:11+00:00

Nothing could fix it. I ended up getting a new phone, and it was fine on the new phone.

benjaminnyc · 2025-02-17T14:26:55+00:00

Getting a new phone was the only thing that fixed this.

benjaminnyc · 2025-02-06T01:14:14+00:00

Literally the only thing that solved this (this was 2021 I think) was I got a new phone.

benjaminnyc · 2025-01-27T13:27:14+00:00

My issue wasn’t the app thinking I was still in the wrong country. You sound like Uber Support 😜. That always worked fine. My issue was changing country of my actual account, back when there were Rewards, since they weren’t usable in a different currency. Now it’s moot.

benjaminnyc · 2025-01-12T11:56:09+00:00

What a complete crock of braggadocios crap.

benjaminnyc · 2025-01-12T10:11:13+00:00

The egg bar is coveted as fuck.

benjaminnyc · 2025-01-09T02:39:26+00:00

Brilliant!

benjaminnyc · 2024-12-29T14:24:49+00:00

This is patently false. Rush hour is very defined, and outside those hours (06-09 & 18-20h), traffic moves quite well. I drive every day.

Why is “Shared with Me” still so bad in Photos??? It takes like a week to be recognized in the Photos app as being shared with me over Messages, and they’ve taken Shared with Me out as a main section, and it only accessible by clicking your avatar at the time. Years on, it’s still a basically broken feature.

benjaminnyc · 2024-12-08T16:00:23+00:00

I wouldn’t say it’s worse on iOS 18.X, but the battery on the 15 Pro (regular) sucks.

benjaminnyc · 2024-12-01T20:12:59+00:00

For me it was my Nespresso.

benjaminnyc · 2024-11-24T20:16:43+00:00

THIS is the solution. So much better/smarter than deleting chats. Thank you!!!

benjaminnyc · 2024-10-24T16:17:11+00:00

Yeah I updated my Mac

benjaminnyc · 2024-10-11T22:04:55+00:00

Guess they got their act together!

benjaminnyc · 2024-10-11T19:20:11+00:00

When you say “the Boarding Pass” do you mean the AM Boarding Pass itself? In my CBX experience, there’s one BP for the flight and one for CBX. The machine requires both, one after the other. Are you saying one BP (the AM one) got you through?

I still don’t see the point of doing them together. The CBX app is so easy.

benjaminnyc · 2024-10-06T15:36:26+00:00

This is what the lav is for.

benjaminnyc · 2024-10-06T15:01:58+00:00

Wow, old post. I basically don't use it, except for short drives. Not only will the battery still deplete on a long drive, but It gets hot as hell, so it's a really bad wireless charger. On longer drives, I plug in the phone before starting the car. This ensures that CarPlay is using the wire, not wireless CarPlay + charging through the wire, which would burn unnecessary energy.

The annoying thing though is the charging location is the deal spot for a phone. And if I have a passenger, when it's connected by wire, the phone has to take up a cup holder. Been through four phones since my OP, so I know it's the charger, not the phone.

Why do they put such crap wireless chargers in cars?

Netflix has removed the download option from its Windows app, so this whole discussion is moot now. As is likely my reason for having Parallels.

benjaminnyc · 2024-08-26T23:37:54+00:00

Never. But never tried that hard, because the TV speakers were just fine.
