AA uses cigarette lighter-style power receptacles (same voltage as EmPower, just need a different adaptor).

IME AA F is as good as anyone else's in terms of food and service (milk and cookies are a nice touch). No IFE on the MD-80s if that matters.

I think my itin said DCA-PHX and PDX-PHL would receive meals. Dunno about MSP-CLT, though.

US offers no meal service on flights less than 3.5 hours (PHL-DFW used to be an exception; don't know if it still is) whereas the competition still does. Search "potato chips for breakfast" for more details.

Thoughts on AA? I had been sitting on 23K-and-change AA miles for a few years (flown them once since 2006, and I had to look in my FM to remember that). I needed a one-way NYC-DEN for December (to drive a car back to DC, dropping me off in CLE for the holidays), the CO qualification was already taken care of, and the prices weren't great...so I transferred a couple thousand *points and cleaned out my AA account on a one-way F award LGA-DFW-DEN.

Not sure if that was a supreme waste of 25K, but it'll give me a chance to go Mall of America on a new route/domestic F product/lunch/dinner that I probably would never do otherwise, at least in the near future...right?

I need to transfer some points off my corporate Diners Club card to AA to help pad that account so I can use my AA miles for something. I'm hoping there will be a transfer bonus coming up sometime so that I can make the transfer even more worthwhile.

Oneworld rewards are great^ Im going to ticket my res for the PRG DO tomorrow (I think). JFK-LHR-PRG-LHR-MAD-JFK on AA-BA-IB in Business for 90,000 miles....if your total routing is under 9,000 miles it only cost 80k miles but my schedule doesnt allow for that.

I'm pretty sure I saw ORD-PHX listed as a meal flight. :-:

You don't think that a codeshare is a baby step to B6 wearing the Star? Granted, there are issues to work out with the single-cabin thing...but LH is like The Blob. It just consumes everything in its path. LH chose to put B6 in its path.
