Transatlantic Internet
Flying JFK-CDG in flagship business this Saturday. On United, you can purchase your internet access in advance. How does AA work? Do I need any special apps downloaded ahead of time? I did not see an option to purchase on AA.com.
Thank you!
Thank you!

About 3 million miles on various airlines under by belt, and I was just thinking that I really don't know the answer to this one.
AA Int'l Arrival to Domestic Connection. FL access . Where are the AA int'l arrivals and connecting security checkpoint? Precheck and Clear there? Where's the FL? What's the maximum time I'll need to plan to get from the FL to a domestic connection? Can I expect a wait for a shower at approximately 9AM?

I'm flying FRA to DFW later this year with an infant in arms on the 787-9. I wanted to upgrade just one seat so that we could get a skycot/bassinet for the baby. Currently I'm in 14D. When I look at the map on AeroLOPA, there are baby icons for rows 9, 12 an 24. Unfortunately, I cannot select any seats in rows 9 or 12. Seats in row 24 are available, but it is an exit row. Am I OK in row 14 or if I want to attach the bassinet to the bulkhead, is sitting in the middle in row 24 my best bet?

Once the wifi is active on the plane you just point your browser to aainflight.com on whatever device you want to connect with and go from there.

Then it's pretty easy, all international arrivals are in Terminal D, once you clear immigration/customs just take the escalators upstairs and there's a security checkpoint right there with Pre-check. Flagship Lounge near gate D22, not far from where you clear security. Shouldn't be much of a wait for showers in the morning.
And I'd probably leave the FL about 15-20 mins before scheduled boarding time of your connecting flight, less if you happen to be departing from D and don't need to take the Skylink.

Is this a stand-alone ticket, or part of a connection? BA does not offer a First Class cabin on tonight's LHR-ATH flights; just Business or Economy.

Hi, i;ve had a couple of 29min flight timing changes to my 8 sector rtn from Eu to USA, on 001 ticket. I've also had a number of 5-20 min changes too, and a flight number change, over about 3 emails in the past few weeks.
Is there a 'trigger' amount of change (60mins?) that will allow me to make a route modification? ie to go LHR-PHX-LAX instead of the currently scheduled LHR-BOS-LAX ? I have a sector before london and one after LAX.
I rang the call centre - but both times they hung up after looking at my reservation and putting me on hold. Thx

I'm flying ATH>CHS via PHL on 9/11.
After a number of AA changes my connection in PHL is 11 minutes. I've tried being proactive but the only option AA gave me was going through JFK and with an overnight connection so not arriving in CHS until mid-morning 9/12. My plan is to get to PHL and try to get on a same day connecting flight via CLT or DCA.
My only worry is will I even be able to check in to this itinerary with a connection well under MCT? Any advice?
