Of course he could voluntarily downgrade I suppose but the transition from BA J or F to AA coach will be "interesting"....
Correct. Will be connecting from F on BA to the AA flight. 3 of us on one through booking, Z class, all the way through. 2 of us on separate bookings, with the onward in P class.
So yes, the chances of 5 F seats being available on the next flight are no doubt impossible, as AA would have presumably filled the seats with their own elites by then.
So I need to choose between a 2 hr 10 min connection or a 3 hour 10 min connection.
