So what does it take to actually make an AE booking over the phone? How do they verify your identity? I'm trying to evaluate the level of a risk I'm exposed to here... My web password is relatively secure.

I know someone could easily add points to my account with my AE number. That's a little scary.

I'm sure all of us here could make it a really epic thread!

Maybe you should title the thread, "Not Tragic." See what the collective braintrust here comes up with.
lol. I looked. I've posted 4 boarding pass pictures to social media. Not publicly shared, but my 246 friends could always share them or do something malicious with them.

I thought about removing them after this thread, but it would be funner to run into a "Not Tragic" situation at the airport one day. I think the thing that would piss me off most is cancelling my eup and making me sit in Y.

No wonder my J/F cabin selfies always look like crap! I'm doing it wrong, I need a selfie stick and I need to practice my duck face. :-:

Of course, business class on domestic is another story altogether.
I've had two different AC FA's refer to it as First Class on recent domestic transcons. Once directly to me, I corrected them. Once when deplaning, they were keeping the riff raff in PE from deplaning before us; "We have to let the First Class passengers off first."
