I am very mobile and temporarily reside in Las Vegas. I fly all over the US, including to quite remote places (flying to Eureka, CA this week, Thu, upon my return trip from Buffalo, Tue-Wed) and that is an advantage of AA as they do seem to have a lot of flights. I mostly fly to NYC and prefer LGA to EWR for proximity but AA has no direct NY-LAS flight and two crappy segments on AA can kill ya. I swear if I see the same "CBS eye on american" 5 times a week (their MD80 no video and I don't know what's better no videe or repeats of that)

I fly 5-6 times a year to Europe mostly Zurich/Geneva, Swiss/AA share code is great as lots of flights and you can get on Swiss metal which is SO MUCH better than AA 767s. I also fly 3-4 times a year to Tel-Aviv and CO's direct from EWR is a blessing.

Sorry I don't now what a VIP upgrade is.

Any chance of getting a COMP on the presidents club? (I paid the Admirals $400 already)

THANKS, loving this site
