AA125 DFW-HKG diverted to Narita Aug 17, cancelled Aug 18
Anyone know what happened to AA125 (DFW-HKG) on Aug 17 to cause it to divert to Narita?
I am assuming this diversion is also the cause of AA125 being cancelled today. A big bummer considering my upgrade had cleared and I was looking forward to enjoying the J product for a solid 16 hours.

You still can, for most of those hours. One of the benefits of clearing an SWU is that once you're cleared, AA will (usually? but I think by rule) protect your upgrade regardless of whether the cancel is mechanical. Heck, they will probably put you in J (such that you can earn J EQM, even) on CX or JL if you ask them.

Toilet between business and PE blew out and caused the diversion to NRT. I have a friend on board and apparently it was flowing into the aisle.
Was supposed to be on AA192 to LAX tonight and now delayed until 8:30 AM tomorrow morning...

I fly Thursday, checking in to the Conrad on Friday. I am completely grossed out by the thought of the aisles overflowing with blue water.

Man! That really stinks. (RD&H).
I wonder if they’ll ferry back to Hongkers (HAECO) to get it repaired?

Well, keep your expectations in check, as I didn't find the Conrad to be anything really special. I was DIA and it was a few years ago. The Exec Lounge was OK, definitely not GH HK or IC HK great. I was on the Exec Lounge floor and poked my head in there to check out the breakfast, found it rather ho-hum and grabbed a cup of coffee instead and headed downstairs where the breakfast was much better. It is nice to have the MTR downstairs, though it is still a bit of a walk through the maze. The evening lounge offerings were better, especially the made to order small dishes. Still, not Grand Club or IC HK quality level. Enjoy.
