I looked at my flights and the metal used on seatguru to be sure that I could get the best seats I could. I had "confirmation" of those seat assignments before I left, including hardcopy.

The SLC-DFW leg was OK. Nothing to praise/complain about. The DFW-LHR flight was, in my opinion, subpar (AA 50). The seats were pretty darn uncomfortable and seemed more crammed together than on DL. The FAs did the bare minimum of service - no passing through the aisles during the flight with water as I've seen on many other TA flights, basically just serving one round of beverages, dinner, breakfast. The dinner was really bad. The FA called it "pasta with mushrooms" - it was actually mac and extremely salty cheese with TWO pieces of mushroom on the top. I ate two bites and just left it.
