Why is AA so difficult? I booked myself a r/t for the wedding this weekend and the fiancée a one way. Since CO is not competitive with their o/w's on the IAH-NYC market it was between AA and US. Of course since I'm Plat on AA I chose them. Now I called and asked if my fiancée would have the same checked bag privileges as me and they said NO since we were not on the same ticket :mad: and to add to the :rolleyes: AA charges extra for bags over 50 pounds.

Why am I thought to have a mullet??

The lease on my mullet expired in 1994, though I did have a ponytail into my senior year of high school, which was 1998. I have a senior portrait that I feel is one of the best pics ever taken of me, but I didn't check my tail before being posed for the shot and there are flyaway hairs visible in the shot.

Poor you! :( You have enough to worry about with the wedding itself, much less the bag privileges -- can't they cut you a break since you're getting married?!!!:p:rolleyes: Good luck with everything!^:D

Rumors of me having made you snort while laughing via the intertoobz remain unconfirmed.

This made me feel warm and fuzzy :rolleyes:

Recently I've had a few flight attendants that refused to upgrade some JS'ers at my request because they said "we might offend" some upgrades from coach.....you know, the folks who pay $85 for a ticket and buy a toaster, thereby earning enough points to make them "elite platinum gold diamond" status. Meanwhile, the employees who are busting their butts to make the airline work, are stuck in the rear of the plane in middle seats enjoying their "vacation passes", which are, in all accuality, WORTHLESS. Funny thing is though, is that these same FA's will GLADLY sit up front if offered the same seats.

Speaking of Steak-N-Shake, there's finally one in the Houston area. Too bad it's so far from the loop.

All of the Box's photo geeks need to pick up the July issue of Pop Photo and check out the last page.

Best.

Planespot.

Ever.

Without pics this post is useless.

:td:. Vacation passes are not worthless. They move you up on the standby list and they are valid for free travel in FClass anywhere CO flies. You always run the risk of sitting in a middle seat. That's life for a non-rev.

This letter is rather bogus because FAs on jumpseats get regular seats if they are available, in any cabin.

Added some impotent information for you. ;)
