Oh well, long story short, 36 hour ordeal, no hotel because the agent refused to pay $200 for the last available room at the airport. (I know because I was standing there and overheard her say so.) When I complained, the supervisor threatened to have me thrown out of the airport. So I stay up all night in a hotel lobby. They lose my luggage. yada yada ... New terminal at SFO - but look around. When I went through there was not a single customer service desk. To inquire about a problem means standing in the passenger check-in line.

I had 'business class' on the outbound segments. But AA business means your seat, like mine, may not recline at all; it means the power outlets on their antiquated 757s do not ever work (more wasted $$ for the adapter to use on their 1980s era plugs); and it means zero leg room in row 1. What is that extra $900 for exactly?

AA in Miami - or anywhere I've had the displeasure of flying with them - is the absolute worst.
Clearly lacking in perspective. Fly a few hundred thousand miles and then check back with us.
