Or some weird time warp stuff going on? I wouldn't be surprised to find out that we landed two days before we took off.
For those of us that have at least 15/20 years flying AS IT issues is not a new thing. AS has always had issues when it comes to their software / servers.

Just wanted to say how much AS has spoiled me. I have a trip on AA that had a schedule change that now causes me to misconnect. However, because it is less than 4 hours they won't honor a refund or change for me. For a 600 dollar r/t business class ticket they wanted an additional 6k to edit the flight. I said, why not just drop the outbound with the problem so I can keep the inbound. They said ok, but your refund is pennies--why? Because we have to reprice the ticket to 5XX as a one way. Then go buy your one way outbound for another 700 bucks. Utter BS!

Apparently the spoon is not bendable, though!

I agree that AS is much better at proactively offering credit, meal vouchers, etc. in the face of delays. I've never been successful in getting AA to make any kind of service gesture in real-time when these situations arise, however, I have emailed them after the fact and received miles so I encourage you to reach out to them to see if there's anything they can do for you.

Remember that optical illusion that you learned about on the internet like 15-20 years ago, with the blue squares that seemed to have black dots in between the corners?



I'm seeing spots!

I haven’t flown alaska since February. So can I purchase cheese platters onboard now? Or does it still have to pre-ordered

You mean new neat tricks have been developed since we'd type numbers into the pocket calculator and read them, upside-down?

On that note, maybe I should drink too much tomorrow (gee, how did the poster I'm quoting inspire that comment) and be a big 304.

Still has to be preordered. If you don’t preorder, they might have extras but I wouldn’t count on it. My flight last week didn’t have any extra cheese platters for me.
