Thank you offerendum. Agree on the awful AA Flagship food. It's like someone told them they need to serve food for F pax and then they asked "how bad and cheap can we get away with?"

Thanks stevie. It's really not that tough as all the LAX-JFK flights are lie-flat single seats. All flights have Wifi as well.

LOL. Thanks Madone59. With the new AAdvantage rules, it's really pretty easy, especially on premium fares.

SFO777, how many of these RTs do you have to do to qualify for EXP?
Anyway, hope it all goes well. May be non-delay, non-cancellation, non-weather, non-mechanical spirits be with you!

Thanks very much Thunderoad. AA has really made it easy this year with the 2016 program changes... 2x EQMs for discounted F/J and 3x EQMs for full F/J. My month is 4 JFK-DEN roundtrips, then LAX, YUL, NAS and PIT trips. Add in 10,000 EQMs from my Citi World Elite Master Card and I'm just about there.
