[QUOTE=ung1;16287300]Again - not if you get an EF account

As far as I'm concerned if at any stage of the booking I see flex, those are the miles I will make sure I get, using whatever tactics necessary. With EK you sort of know what your experience onboard is going to be like - with AA you don't and there's no way I'd take that risk on a transatlantic flight.[/QUOTE]

While I have never flown AA , seeing reviews on this site does not make me sad that I missed flying them
