Part of me feels that premium transcons will be excluded from the second beverage cart cut.

Still, it just makes the experience on AA look incredibly cheap. No PTV screens. No free texting. Expensive Wi-Fi. No meaningful BOB service.

The beverage cart came around three times on a recent UA transcon ex WAS (with numerous tray water services in between), they had hot BOB, they had seatback screens, reasonably priced Wi-Fi, free texting, and they had blankets placed on every seat in Y.

L-US wasn’t even this bad.
