Anyway, another nice experience with AA. As others have noted, most of the time this happens when I don't really need the special treatment. However, I am unlikely to ever turn it down!

Interestingly, on my way back from LAX to IAD, I got no CK-type treatment at LAX. Again, I didn't really need it, but another example of inconsistent treatment.
