Miami changed their menu again. I wont get to try the gnocchi. Cool though they are doing the quarterly changing so looks like this will be the April through June menu. Tried to upload a pic but having trouble. I was not handed the extensive liquor menu so I am hoping they will have the 1942. Cocktails are the same.

AC is on good in here which is so nice. Its more like the side of the lounge where the TV room is which is the best, always cold. Side by the lounge chairs at MIA is always warm.

The new amouse bouche was nice actually. Not even touching the corn bread 3 x now at 3 diff lounges I should learn my lesson, it is dry, crumbles, and isnt anything special at all. Get some good bread and do a basket but oh well, new menu reads nice. Shrimp scampi, a snapper, some salmon. A scallop app too as well as patacon, a beet salad & some pork dumplings w/ a Caribbean flare.

Not sure where to even post this but I had the most disturbing experience with the lady letting people past her to check in for flights for the priority area. So just inside Door 2 slightly to the right . I was trying to ask her where Flagship First Check in was but she completely ignored me. I was overly nice in fact and smiled and said excuse me of coursre. I also waited until she was done talking to the current ppl whose BP she was checking. I then asked again and she ignored me. The third time she said :"I'm busy". A lady in line said "its okay you can answer him" She then kept ignoring me. I thought FFCI was by door 2 so i was just momentarily lost.

So at any rate I was not allowed into FFCI, which I found when a diff AA lady walking around took me there. I was not surprised to not let be in b/c i was on a separate ticket JFK-LAX so I cant check bags for that flight so it makes sense not to be let in. I have no bags anyways just was going to take the escort, although at MIA its really nothing I know. So in walking back towards the door 1 area TSA Pre i stopped b/c there was no line to go in and check bags where that lady was so I figured I would ask her why she ignored me. I was super nice and she goes "back away sir i dont have to answer your questions, back away or i will call security"

I never get mad really and like to be chill but F that lady, what a miserable freaking person. And nothing I can do. I say another word to her maybe she does call security and what if she lies and said i yelled at her or something.

Its ppl like that who shouldnt be working in any sort of customer service business. What a crappy way to begin the journey home.
