Ha! Thanks! In fairness, it wasn't completely awful and it wasn't even the worst flight of this trip. But if there are better options at similar price points, American would be my last choice.

Thanks for reading and the correction! "Twinscroll" did throw me off, and I have to admit I had to google it to see what it was. I thought it was just a fancy BMW-ese for twin turbo.

Exactly. You got me thinking, if I had to pay for Flagship First outright what would be my ceiling? Probably not much more than what I paid for this trip. Besides, I like Business Class more in a quite a few respects.

Indeed, though this certainly wasn't the worst flight of this trip. And of course there is much better on the way!
