Well, that was a first. I OLCI'd for the first 2 segments, but the AS was over 24 hours out. No problem. On the way to the airport, 24 hours hit. I tried OLCI a few times in the taxi - timed out each time. At the airport, LA agent gave us LAX/SFO BPs, but no precheck showing, and I know AS won't want these anyway. In the lounge, I tried OLCI again, but on the laptop. Oh yes, it worked. But oh no, no precheck, despite the website showing that the KTNs had been collected. I was not going to give up. Website generated BPs, no precheck. Back to the app - no precheck. Not to give up, I tried again on the app (where it was showing space to put in the KTNs, as they apparently didn't stick) and no go - "timed out" twice, and said to check in at airport. Not to further give up, I re-checked us in one at a time on the app, re-entering the KTN for each of us with each check in, and voila, precheck appears now on the app.

That was speshul.

No, this shouldn't devolve into a compensation thread. I suffered much of the suffering while having nice snacks and wine in the EZE LATAM Salon VIP. Speaking of which, now that I'm checked in with TSA PRE, have described this nonsense, and my wine glass is empty, it is time to post thread and refill the glass.

So let it be written.
So let it be done.

Your compensation is that I liked your post. Don't you feel compensated now?

Eastbay1K

I did not feel compensated until the lovely FA brought sparkling alcohol in a glass with an offer of mixed nuts in an in flight worthy ramekin.

Better to be compensated than constipated. :-)

Sham Payne is known to compensate for the Real Payne of wonky OLCI.

Eastbay1K

It is Sham Pain, my dear.

Back on point, the LAX kiosk also printed Pre on the toxic paper version. Now only hours away from being able to post in the PDB thread!

Are you speaking of the mini ramekin that holds about 12 nuts and doesnt fit two fingers with which to grab said nuts?

jrl767

probably depends on the size of one's two fingers ...

Eastbay1K

I'm speaking of the LATAM ramekins (shallow, not deep, so pretty much any fingers can use) that hold a modest amount of mixed nuts, presented to you with your PD Bubbles, served in glass.

But are they as nice as the AM salad bowls?

Eastbay1K

No, but AM is no longer a partner (says this now DL elite )

I see. Missed the context here. Was remarking on the shrunken AS nut thimbles. I bet some employee got a bonus for coming up with this. Surely saves dozens of dollars a week in excess nut costs.
