Is that $400 each way for a lie flat product? That's an incredible value for 5-6 hours of flight legs.

I did BOS-LAX on Easter Sunday. Until just before boarding, there were only two of us in the F cabin. I think one was some form of opp-up that happened just before the door closed.
I'm taking this route as part of a BOS-LAX-PEK route. As has been discussed at length, the east coast to Asia routes really stink. My business partner is flying UA and gets home like 7 hours earlier than I do, as my layover in LAX is just about that long. |
And that's not even the quickest way... there's a nonstop on HX!
|
Any op-ups from J->F as a Plat or lower? Curious to see if it's even happened before on this new route.
|
Flew the LAX->BOS redeye last night in J (upgraded at around 4 days out). Flight was full, although F seemed to be full with nonrevs (only 2 seats taken at T-60). Not obvious that there were op ups (although possible) since no one appeared upgraded to Y from the waitlist at the gate.
I did get into the AC on arrival, but annoyingly the lounge dragon said it's only on departure but "she would make an exception". AA told me on DM on Twitter twice that I should get access, so it seems they're just doing a really poor job explaining rules to the staff there. It doesn't help the website is ambiguous about this... Hopefully more can report over the next few weeks to see if AA figures this out. |
I am fairly sure op ups are happening. On a recent BOS-LAX on the A321T I was upgraded T-24 hrs Y to J as plat. At T-48 hrs, all F seats were open, all J seats unavailable, same number of J and F seats (6 or 7) for sale. After I was upgraded there was still the same number of J and F seats for sale (but only 1). I was assigned a seat at the gate. It seems like J and F were almost treated jointly for availability and a cabin roll had everyone seated. Maybe this route is managed differently from JFK routes due to insufficient F demand. |
Gosh, I feel silly paying for J and using miles for F!

I don't understand why/how that annoyed you. Yes, staff was uninformed, but you got in, seemingly without much of a fight at all. Was your goal to check to ensure that all staff are properly informed, or to get into the club?
And more annoying than that is American isn't training agents to deliver on the product it is selling. Some may choose this flight (say, over Mint) based on the opportunity to take a shower on arrival. AA should make sure it's training it's agents to deliver on that. And I just wanted to get into the lounge. I value a shower after a redeye a ton. This experience makes me a tad hesitant to continue taking it (I flew from SFO to LAX just to position, and normally it wouldn't be my most natural routing to take). |
