It seems that perhaps the AA code is permanently broken for discount tickets. I wonder if the AA is aware of this? They still feature the promotion on their website.

F-35 appearance possibility loophole

http://www.defensenews.com/article/2...y-Ease-F-35-UK

Apparently, the United States Marines might be able to clear the F-35 for flight even if other US or UK agencies have not, according to this article.

I wonder what the odds are at this point...

The way I am approaching it is that I'm expecting it NOT to be there but secretly internally still hoping it will be there, so I can be excited if it is confirmed to be there and less upset if it is not. Applying mind tricks to myself I hope will help ease any disappointment if it doesn't appear :-)

At least they still haven't officially said it won't be there at Farnborough like they have for the Fairford Air Tattoo airshow.

Take your card along and visit the AA van - they usually dole a free cuppa and some trinkets to members who have their card on them.

Children go free, so it's not such bad value for a day out.
It is working again now with the new code F14AA

However, it now asks for your AA membership number on the final booking page. At least this will benefit AA members, if not others.
