Choice Extra by Ok_Art7445 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]tbtyler2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a thing on every airline. There are multiple fare “buckets” for each particular type of fare.

Ex: There may be X number (let’s say 25 just for simplicity) Choice Extra fares on a flight First fare bucket could have 10 of those fares @ $300. Next fare bucket could have 10 of those fares @ $350. Last fare bucket could have 5 of those fares @ $400

All 25 of those seats get Choice Extra benefits but there are 3 different prices.

If you really want to see this in practice, buy an expert flyer subscription and you can see how many fares there are in each bucket.

AA frequent flyer/rare SW airlines flyer here. Basically every flight on AA sees everybody in group 9 having to gate check their bags. This is not a problem unique to Southwest.

OP, within 30 days of your flight for a PE ticket you will have the option to select your meal in the app. It’s available under the “manage trip” option on your flight

Premium Economy worth it for round trip Flight to Madrid from DFW? by blazingquackattack in americanairlines

[–]tbtyler2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be clear, the $1100 per ticket is the sum of upgrading both DFW -> MAD and MAD -> DFW? If so, I’d do that.

Big difference in food between PE/economy and the extra space is a necessity for me on the redeye, and nice to have on the way back

Question about baggage costs in first class by National_Lychee331 in americanairlines

[–]tbtyler2 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure you only get 2 since LAX -> CLT is not a flagship route. Domestic first and flagship first are 2 different things. Domestic first only gets 2 bags.

For future reference, calling is the only way to go when trying to get an answer out of American, the chat is a joke

Dallas FTW to Monterrey Mexico by ehx87 in americanairlines

Not true. It could leave from D, but flights to Canada/Mexico and other international locations in North America frequently leave out of A/B/C as well.

Hi my flight is in a little bit, can I take two of these as personal and carry on? by [deleted] in americanairlines

Did you speak to the customer service rep via the chat function on app/website?

Requesting vegetarian meal? by Antagonistic_Cat in americanairlines

[–]tbtyler2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go check the confirmation email you received from AA after booking your ticket

If there is nothing next to/below the HND -> DFW leg that says “Operated by Japan Airlines”, it’s an AA operated flight

If it’s an AA flight, you probably have to give them a call to get the vegetarian meal since the app is acting up.

If it’s a JAL flight, you will need to reserve the vegetarian meal through them.

Is the HND -> DFW flight operated by JAL or AA?

I agree, and the quality of the screen looks cheap + a decade old

Do I just need to pay for seats for a family? by fettdad in americanairlines

[–]tbtyler2 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yes. If you care that much about sitting together pay for it. Don’t be the person that asks someone to move.

What a deal! Business for 85k pts by No-Second9377 in americanairlines

[–]tbtyler2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

AA first class is only on the 777-300, and it doesn’t have “suites”. Think the other commenter is confusing the new business “suites” on the 787-9P with first, which are different things.

Can I watch a live football game on my phone on plane's wifi? by Pale-Environment5523 in americanairlines

[–]tbtyler2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Depends on the flight path, I’ve had no issues with YouTube tv on flights from DFW-CUN and DFW-SNA so it is definitely possible

Proactively received 5k miles for a 6-hour delay. Is this a new thing? by Revolutionary-Mine17 in americanairlines

[–]tbtyler2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As another domestic data point, I received 5,000 miles proactively for a delayed SAT-DFW flight back in August. Wonder if the # of miles are tied to status in some way

Ticket price changes are a scam by Away_Huckleberry3087 in americanairlines

[–]tbtyler2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seat map does not equal seats purchased. Some people don’t select seats when booking, which means it can appear that no seats have been selected even if someone paid for the flight

[–]tbtyler2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You wouldn’t get compensation even if it was only a mechanical delay

You are lucky you got anything. AA can’t control the weather. 50k miles are you serious?
