This is decidedly a HUCA game. Today's travel waiver let the AAngel I got on the line reroute me from a connecting BOS-JFK-SFO (with the second segment an in-app-upgrade to business) to BOS-SFO, B6 633 in Mint. Incredible service from AA but it did take a 3 hour callback. The app didn't really let me do much of anything despite the waiver.
Now the real hurdle will be trying to collect ORC from Alaska to get EQMs after the fact, but that's not a today problem.
