I planned an overnight in NYC this trip, so I didn't bother checking to see if I would have made the AE connection. Last time I arrived on CX888, I had checked my bag thinking I would have plenty of time for the connection. So when we ended up arriving 90 minutes late, I was completely stressed while waiting for my bag. I still made the AE flight, however, with about half an hour to spare, and then the flight ended up being delayed about an hour. (Even with the delay, AE managed not to get my bag on the flight!)

Do you remember when that flight used to be a mainline flight on a 738? It was such a luxury (particularly since it was an easy upgrade to score) compared to the AE flight.
