Ah, how familiar! I used to be pretty active in loyalty programs, and I experienced the perks of status with the old US Airways. Those were the days when status came with meaningful benefits, and upgrades on long-haul flights happened often. Now, with American Airlines, the status perks feel a bit leaner. It’s great to reminisce about the "golden years" of travel when flying with perks felt truly rewarding. Curious how others remember these times!
