Any Upcoming Surplus/Memorabilia Sale for US / AA Items?
When US merged with HP, they had a sale one Saturday at a warehouse in Phoenix for a lot of the US Air, not HP amazingly, stuff were sold.
I got there late so my choices were limited. I still got hundreds of spoons and forks and also boxes of plates/bowls at very good prices.
Just want to start a thread here so we can share this kind of events
I know it probably won't be for a few months - until at least the livery / corporate identity / in-flight service standards are decided.
Thanks.

Very cool idea. I still have a deck of US Air playing cards from one of my first flights as a child. Granted, those were the good old days when you still got stuff for free, but still a fond keepsake.

I guess, "get it while you can":

I'm guessing they won't be replenishing the stock when its all gone.

I would expect that it'll be after the inflight service is standardized that those US items (plates, glassware, cups, etc) will go on sale.
Anything with *A and US on it would go after US leaves the *A.
These days, there aren't any schedule books but bag tags, boarding passes, etc with US could disappear pretty soon as they try to present the image of two carriers operating as one to the traveling public.
Of course, there's also the legacy AA memorabilia - anything with the former logo.

LH has sold off old seats. AA should have lots of old semi-layflat J seats on offer shortly!

LUS: Any news of a US or old AA memorabilia sale?
Curious if there's any plan to sell off US-branded items as they're replaced with AA items on board? I recall that US sold off a lot of HP-branded items online at one point.
With the US glassware apparently being phased out onboard, I wouldn't mind picking up a few for nostalgia.

AA has an online store much like US had; however, most items have to be purchased in quanities of 12 or more. There are a few items that can be purchased as one, but very few. I believe I saw some classic AA items on there. The site is aabranded.com. You might want to check there.
