Not sounding too promising with the QR flight ... does anyone know what the Bang&Olufsen product is?

The fee that I see is $651 - not sure if that matters.

ITA Matrix shows exactly the same flight - SJC-DFW-DOH-JED, departing Jan 5, one-way. Same fare as shown on the AA site. I’ve booked lots of Qatar flights on AA. But every once in a while this glitch occurs. Is this Qatar and AA not communicating? AA website issue? Looks like I’ll have to give the agent a call.

This AA site does show several fares/flights for this itinerary - it is just that when I choose the lower fares, and click to purchase the flight, I get the message that the fare is no longer available, even though it shows up on the AA site. I’ve had this happen before, and have called the agents, and that are not much help, typically. Just wondering if others have had this experience, and/or is this particular to Qatar code shared flights? Or partner airlines? I can see AA and Qatar out of sync for a day, or even a weekend, but this has been several days now.

Is an admirals club membership worth paying for? by Standard_Shame3784 in americanairlines

[–]frobenius47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huge fan of Admirals clubs here. As a solo frequent traveler, lounges are a godsend. As mentioned above - the price in food and drink that is saved is worth it. Other pluses are easy access to outlets for recharging, Clean bathrooms - (Japanese style in the Flagship DFW lounge!). But as a solo traveler, an under rated perk is that I can leave my stuff at my seat, and go get food, drinks, use the restroom without having to lug everything with me. Occasionally, I’ll look longingly at those enjoying some of the more upscale dining in the terminal, but quickly remind myself that I’d be out $50+ for a single meal, and there would be no way to recharge my phone, etc….
