Not only is it not worth the $50, I just got off the phone with an EXTREMELY RUDE American Airlines employee. See my other thread "Batting 1.000"
Screw it, I'm booking the damn flight on southwest.com, where the price is cheaper anyway and I don't get a huge dose of attitude for having made the mistake of dialing AA's (800) number to ask a question.
RUDE __ RUDE __ RUDE.
I don't know WHAT I was thinking.
