AA 1223 BWI-CLT F/2B

For some strange reason, BWI only has a few TSA Pre lines open, such that the posted wait time for non Pre was 1-3 minutes while the Pre times were posted as 12-15! In the event the wait was only about 10 minutes and I was glad not to have to disgorge electronics from my small roller or my feet from my shoes

Boarding was fine and plenty of overhead space up front, and the very friendly and professional F FA offered full PDB. Free Apple Music streaming and a decent Barclays offer rounded out the IFE.

Wifi was $12 for the one hour flight so I demurred, but they offered a taste of WiFi if I watched an ad - 20 mins for watching a one minute ad seemed like a decent deal, until my first draft of this post was lost as I crossed the 20-minute threshold. Ah well.

The FA was great - attentive and helpful, so much so that I offered him one of my ancient (15 years?) AA appreciation certificates, which he assured me “still counted”.

On time arrival and off to the AAdmirals club, first the smallish and fairly crowded C club. In short order I decamped to the larger D/E club to await my TATL flight to MUC. Pretty tasty spicy Bloody Mary at the bar, fwiw.
