I agree.

The OP had a thorough miserable flight because someone wished him a pleasant flight, there was a queue to board the plane, and the worst of all - the cabin crew didn't give him a pen....

Interesting poll. "NO" doesn't seem to be an option. :confused:

The answers are (i) yes - merge it with the BA forum, (ii) yes - make a separate forum or (iii) undecided. What happened to "NO"?

It's nothing to do with AA. It's simply the 2000 mile rule, which separates long-haul TPs from short-haul TPs. Same thing with BA.
