This despite being on AA and travelling with BAEC F/F number in the booking (so they knew who I was well in advance). (Oh, how different it was on the return leg westcoast-LHR on BA with none of that silliness )

As a result, I'm in no rush to holiday in the USA, and also this year have had two trips to Oz via Asia (where I am made to feel welcome) rather than the USA (where I am made to feel unwelcome).
