I miss being ale to upgrade myself inside 24 hours whenever an F seat opened up, no matter how far down the upgrade list I was.

Things you miss about US Airways
Instant ticketing (v "pending" for hours/ days/ weeks)
Clear 24 hour refund policy (v Hold which isn't always available, and having to fight for 24 hour refund)
Ease of booking multi-city itineraries
Competent web services team

AA had a top notch web services team until the current management chose to outsource it to what appears to be a Filipino call center. Wonder if they got the idea from Barclays?

4 checked bags x 70lbs each if you're in J/F *and* Chairman Preferred or EXP.
The general unabashed cheapness of US. We're a legacy airline that looks and feels like a ULCC, now deal with it.

^^^ I do like being able to upgrade on AA metal to Asia, and oneworld emerald status is nice, but I miss Star. Travel throughout Europe and Asia was much more convenient and accessible.

I leave the heavier stock boarding pass in my jacket pocket which makes it easier for the FA and me to identify my jacket when they return it to me after the flight.
