Those are to be obtained only through operational upgrades on the lowliest of fares or as renumeration for services rendered to certain gate agents. Never underestimate the power that duty-free chocolate can have on those in a lower caste than us.
International travel is why God invented International Carriers...LH, SQ, PDQ, CX, FX...these are where they know a guest is a guest and a Sky Hostess or Host is but a vehicle by which to enjoy life at 35,000 feet. One who aspires to fly as though one has not left the ground should invest in a proper carrier and leave the dregs of air travel to the double-wide crowd. American Airlines livery of naked aluminum appearance is meant to draw a certain crowd who would no doubt think that a G&T is a procedure that one should only experience under light sedation after unprotected sex.
So, as one gains experience in the stratosphere of FFdom, do drop back by and share on'es delightful and coyingly seductive travel prose, but do leave international travel in FC on AA to those who only enjoy the thought of caviar and in-seat sponge baths rather than those who actually are willing to pay for it and know how to act when receiving them.
From one G&T fan to another although whilst traveling through this strange and wonderful continent called Atkins, one can only seem to secure a G&S, with lime, but of course.
An in-seat sponge bath? Sold! Heck, I'll even pay full fare for that! Just name the carrier.
