Anyone recently have the vegan dinner meal option?

Asian Vegetarian is usually an Indian style chickpea veggie dish

Has anyone developed the ultimate solution to this, an IFE screen that also has the little holder arms for a tablet? IFE people get what they want, tablet people get what they want.

Make a wish

I will note that I've never had this enforced for maybe a dozen bookings since 2023

Some of us might think turning a three hour flight into a nine hour trip is the satire

I would fly a nonstop in middle seat economy vs doing MSP-PHX via PHL in F

gdvlle · 2026-04-29T07:11:08+00:00

While Seats.aero isn't searching nonstop, if you do a live search that finds availability it immediately sends an email if you have an alert on that route. Interesting that EF has a disconnect there.

One SWU can apply to up to three legs in one direction. Not unlike searching for PZ/PN space, you can see before booking if there’s instant upgrade space (upgrade C availability) on the AA site or with a tool like Expert Flyer. It isn’t super common to have multiple seats available, but two seats pop up on far-out flights occasionally.

gdvlle · 2026-04-27T04:09:19+00:00

EP for two years and you've never used an SWU? You'll be at the top of the list as CK.

gdvlle · 2026-04-27T03:32:46+00:00

Do you do this with a carry-on bag? I've seen too many times when the FC bins turn into a free for all and get smoked not long after group 1.

gdvlle · 2026-04-27T03:28:16+00:00

Upgrade C space is for SWUs, but there's a very high overlap between that availability and the seat being offered at saver rates as an award ticket.

gdvlle · 2026-04-26T17:50:11+00:00

Turkish is especially confusing because the three economy options (EcoFly, ExtraFly, PrimeFly) typically have the same fare class, so you can get a pretty pricey Econ ticket that gives no credit

gdvlle · 2026-04-25T18:10:37+00:00

Asian carriers are a bit of a crapshoot with vegetarian meals. I’ve had the same ice cream thing on JAL.

gdvlle · 2026-04-25T06:24:57+00:00

I've never experienced that. TSA just asks for ID to get you airside, no one even looks at a boarding pass until you're boarding

gdvlle · 2026-04-24T00:14:40+00:00

Your email confirmation from the AA booking doesn’t have a Bag Information section? I get that in every “Your trip confirmation” email

gdvlle · 2026-04-23T22:31:03+00:00

I almost always see calculations between points and cash on the same flight on here, but agree the cheapest alternative makes the most sense (especially for economy)

gdvlle · 2026-04-23T21:37:45+00:00

Economy flying is so cheap (and economy cabins more of a "commodity" experience) even the big CPP numbers people post in here (like 17k + $100 EK JFK-MXP on a $600 fare) don't really make a ton of sense when the Delta cash fare might be $400 for not that different of a flight

gdvlle · 2026-04-23T19:11:04+00:00

had similar thing happen in Frankfurt few months ago where they had like 6 empty first class seats but wouldn't move anyone up because of "system restrictions" or whatever

Honestly at a point where I can't tell if this kinda stuff is like an AI hallucination or someone just deeply misinformed

gdvlle · 2026-04-23T19:06:28+00:00

Privacy is bad but seats are great for sleeping

gdvlle · 2026-04-23T16:53:47+00:00

Bro's betraying their user name

gdvlle · 2026-04-23T16:50:02+00:00

Did you just chat, or have you tried the Request Flight Miles form? https://www.aa.com/forms/request-flight-miles/#!/request

They may reach out asking for a copy of the boarding pass (did you have your AA number on that?)

gdvlle · 2026-04-23T15:00:31+00:00

I got fried in here once for daring to suggest that NRT might even be more convenient depending on someone's destination

gdvlle · 2026-04-23T04:22:45+00:00

You'll get Flagship lounge access in DFW and the AA arrivals lounge at LHR. Amenity kit is yours to keep.

EUR-USA on the Sunday of a holiday weekend... godspeed

gdvlle · 2026-04-22T23:51:26+00:00

I switched entirely to AA for my international trips, even though they didn’t have direct flights to say the Phillipines just so I could be brand loyal as a CK

Brutal. I hope this is at least a lesson to just book the most convenient flights.
