Because of reduced banks AA is offering a number of strange and out of the way connections. I've even take some of them because of timing and strangely enough the upfares are usually cheap. A couple examples MIA/LGA/RDU and RIC/LGA/CLT/VPS. I've also noticed that in certain situations AA is offering connections greater than 4 hours.

Doing IAD-MCO next month via CLT; going the EQS route this year & no stickers (which I only have 2 of) required for upgrades.
DCA-MCO direct was the same price.
Looking forward to checking out the Centurion & being able to contribute here for the first time.

You are getting x3 of the Tier Points ( status qualification points ) compared to when you fly direct, which is a great value for us.
I have flown DCA-DFW-MIA-RDU and SFO-PHX-DFW-LAX ( plus some more creative itineraries ) this year because I didn't have any time constraints and the price was the same as a direct flight.

Just a quick data point regarding FA's making their own rules. I frequently fly a short regional flight on PSA to/from CLT, and usually in F they offer a PDB or get pre-orders for in flight (30 minutes in air). Tonight we got the "No food or beverages" for anyone, even F. Not a big deal, just inconsistent.

Flew the DFW to Maui flight this past week. Tiny snack box served in coach both ways. Cheese spread, Oreos, almonds, cranberries, wheat thins. With your choice of non-alcoholic beverage, because in the words from the flight attendant “there is no longer alcohol on board because of too many crazy people flying these days”.

I doubt 'crazy' people' have anything to do with it, I think its a conscious choice for AA not to serve alcohol to Y pax - likely a blend of cost cutting for MCE seats and FA push back on enhanced service and the risks of COVID and all that jazz.

We actually quite enjoyed the cheese plate on our 4 legs earlier this month, more than some of the hot dishes we've had (excluding international).
But does anyone which cheeses are in the tray? I honestly can't name them with confidence even though I enjoyed them.
Thanks!
