I have seen EK flights (which are filled with Indian connecting pax) with as high as 108 wheelchairs on a 777. It's some kind of cultural thing coming from India that I don't fully understand why...

T1 at SAN is definitely a disaster. But it's really not AS's fault. This is much more an issue with the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority and the local TSA management. Airlines have next to...

It certainly can happen. A few years ago I had let my MVP lapse and had zero status at all. I was flying on DL LAS-SEA with my AS MP number in (but again, no status at the time of booking or of...

You just buy one on arrival, no advance work necessary. IIRC it's about $20.

Now that's strange. I had lounge access in both SFO and DXB when flying in F 3 weeks ago, but that was pre-devaluation.

I'm batting 4 for 4 on SEA-PDX. Regularly see empty seats go out in F on the CRJ they run there.

SEA-LAS is also a fairly easy upgrade on DL for an AS Elite.

Um, have you even flown out of Seattle or Portland before? Premium line has always been open to SEA/PDX shuttle passengers.

It's really not. You can't tell me with a straight face that a 2x3x2 configuration in J is not seriously inferior to the many 1x2x1 products now out there.

EK J on the A380 is clearly one of the...

I snagged a $40 o/w SEA-LAX a couple years ago. I had never seen it below $69 before then, and within an hour after booking the whole schedule had reverted back to $99, so I suspect it was a mistake.

I'm actually going to agree with what others are saying. For a redeye on Alaska I actually prefer a coach window seat over F. Much easier to lean against the window that way.
