Don't know if it was mentioned, but seems like AA bought some new buses, this time with seats.
I tend to connect at LAX for a quick dinner in the QF lounge before an international flight, so it's more attractive to me than say ORD or DFW or JFK, as I usually can leave later too (4pm flight out of SFO to LHR or 9pm for HKG).
But just connected at eagle today and it reminded me of the time wasted...
