Hopefully they let exp have free sparkling or something, if they're going to charge extra for that.
Everyone gets sparkling according to T+L The Hidden Perk You'll Get With American Airlines? Extra Legroom Seats | Travel + Leisure. I find it hard to believe that 1 free drink per flight was such a value point over the other exclusive EXP benefits that remain.
