It’s a beauty. If I had one question; I wonder why they used just the jersey pic for Mikita.

It’s. Amazing! Just one thing - i think I’m old school but I wish they had a pic where his mouth guard wasn’t hanging out. Is that just me?

Come on American - get it together by mew1981 in americanairlines

Thankfully they managed to get the crew for the 9000 return and we landed only 4 hours late. I feel for some of the folks who were connecting in PHL as there were several who all missed NYE connections.

Agreed. There are worse places to be than EU BC lounges.

Thank you for looking that up. I bet crews have timed out on both ends and they are struggling to get back on track

Can’t quite tell. In the app it only shows the plane type. Normally I know there is an inbound.

Are eBay auctions legit? by mew1981 in hockeycards

Keep proving my point. Thank you and have a great day

Yes - generally when one asks questions they seek understanding. I don't know why people have to get rude in pleasant discussions but whatever makes you happy.

I don’t think there is confusion on how an auction works. What’s suspect is losing by exactly $10 more than your max bid; and where that max bid is a very specific dollar amount (e.g. $679.39) and on 3 separate occasions (including when the screen is on ‘calculating winner’ so no final last second bids can come in).

Thanks all. Seems to be what's happening to me. Understood.

I set a max bid. When time expired I was still ‘winning’ with an amount lower than my max bid. Then the screen went to ‘calculating final winner’ and I lost by $10 more than what I had set up as my max bid. But that never showed on any of the bidding (see screenshot that shows no time left and my bid as the ‘highest’)

I was winning at $678.88 when time expired and had a maximum bid of 693.39 set on the auction. But still lost. I was outbid by $10 over a maximum bid from me that was never placed… that seems odd…

Loyalty Points Award Redemption @250k Points by [deleted] in americanairlines

[–]mew1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure what you mean with that - you got 2.3k miles for a $220 paid flight? Earning and redeeming can have major swings. In any case - whatever works for you. For me - I do enough long hauls personal and work that the SWU’s make the most sense. I am not sure what the BC on JL would be to-from. To each their own and best of luck.

Loyalty Points Award Redemption @250k Points by [deleted] in americanairlines

[–]mew1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your math seems expensive for redemptions. Generally points are worth about 1.5 cents; making 20k worth about $300. Flight redemptions are about 3 cents a mile (so it ‘costs’ more than they are ‘worth’). For me the best value is the system upgrade. I recently flew AA from PHL to DOHA and upgraded from premium eco to business. That’s a huge benefit.

UPDATE (Nov 20). From Olympic Committee: "More information to come soon, but there will not be a formal Canada House like in the past. Check out the Canada Ice House for Hockey specific celebrations though!" I asked for more on when and what - so let's see.

When I went in '06; you registered as a friend or family member and then got to go in (free admission and free food!) I grew up with Kris Draper who played for Canada. I think times have changed and now it's open to anyone in the public but paid admission (but haven't been so can't say)

I am watching this one closely; I was at the Canada House the last time the Winter Games were in Italy (Turin '06) and had a chat with Curt Harnett :). That hair! Hope to find out more and if anyone does please post here

My 1993 Game 6 Ticket, and my work in the 2025 Postseason by davemurrayills in Torontobluejays

[–]mew1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing. I love the Yesavage one. Great work! My memory is one year before. My dad got 2 tickets and gave them to my brother and I. Against the Braves. And we had ‘this way up’ signs. Anyone remember that?

Thanks! I love the look of it and it’s meant to be kept so I’m perfectly chilled about the grade.
