i hate that since flights are posting to our account on the same day, my miles until expiration date is now 3 days earlier than it would have been in the past.

Sitting in a first class aisle seat and getting clobbered with other people's luggage while they are boarding. NOTE: It's not as annoying when sitting in the coach bulkhead aisle seat, since this is to be expected in "cattle car" territory.

They offer cocktails in J and F, but when you ask for one, they neither have the glassware/supplies nor know how to make anything more complex than a rum-n-coke.

The ties worn by male FAs are an abomination to the eye.

A friend reports that LH has significant opera selections, including CDs, a video or two (in Feb they featured Butterfly with Domingo and Freni), and an audio channel (the same flight devoted the opera channel to Jonas Kaufmann -- singing, interviews, favorite selections by other musicians.
C'mon, AA, get with the program!

Sometimes my upgrades to Hawaii clear at 104 hours before departure but not always, sometimes they clear at 100 hours.

I'm not done yet..
* Slow elevators at various ACs
* No peanut option for snack (hate the mixed bag of whatever)
* Seemingly always having the Wi-fi option on AUS/DFW but not on AUS/ORD
* Slow scroll of connecting gates on IFE when arriving from TATL or TPAC flights back to ORD/LAX/DFW. Always seem to be looking at something else after such long waits when AUS finally comes back around
* Layout of seats in the ORD FL. Hard to find seats able to view TV properly
* Distance from ORD FL to Int'l gates..wait, actually that's awesome!
* Boarding Pass scanner units at gates sometime requires 2 or 3 times to properly scan and record.. totally wasting my time
*Serving luke warm nuts
*Not showing flight miles in the "Flight Details" section of your online itinerary
