DCA-BTR
AA5396



Seems like there has been a reduction in the quality of the PM protein pack. On this same flight in June, I had an antipasti, cheese and salami, fresh fruit, and a cookie. Something to look out for on future meal service Eagle flights.

Unrelated to the meal, but I had a bit of a SNAFU with this flight. I asked the Twitter team to protect me on the later HPN-DCA flight (my inbound flight took a 2 hour delay and I didn't want to miss the last and only flight from DCA-BTR), but I ended up taking my original flight. When I got to DCA, I saw the DCA-BTR segment was off my itinerary entirely. Tried to reload the flight, view in Safari, etc. Nothing. I still had my BP and didn't have a ton of time so was tempted to hit the Centurion Lounge and attempt to board but decided against it and to make sure everything was okay in the Admiral's Club. Thankfully I did, because the (phenomenal) AAngels there told me that the Twitter team had messed something up and kicked me off the DCA-BTR flight entirely, and if I had tried to board, the BP I had was invalid. They managed to restore me onto that flight (albeit back into my ticketed class of economy) and warned me that they have been seeing lots of people with issues resulting from the Twitter team's mistakes. When I went down to the gate, the GA began boarding without clearing the list, so I patiently waited off to the side and politely notified him I was #1 for 3 seats, after which he quickly cleared me. A total mess, but glad it worked out in the end.
