Other than being quite costly (R fare, so it does get worse) what does the Flagship designation mean? I suspect nothing at all. Yet, other flight options did not have this designation, so somewhat confused as to what it is supposed to mean.
Yea, don't read anything into it, any AA longhaul business = "Flagship" business, regardless of what aa.com says or doesn't say on the search results page. AA is horribly inconsistent with it's "Flagship" marketing.
