Prologue:
Let me start by giving you some context here.. It's a flight that should have been reported in 2017 but never came through for an unknown reason aside from forgetting.I recently bought a new laptop and while cleaning up my old one I came across a AA folder and figured it was worth sharing.
I bought a ticket from JFK to LAX direct service on their flagship A321 and for the return, I had no choice but to play with AA tools to pay the minimum.
The goal was to see AAflyer. Upon booking, he told me that he'd be delighted to give me his SWU. He called AA with my AA locator and I could snag Business all the way aside from one flight for 1h. Not a big deal.
By the time I had the BA Emerald.
Arriving from PHX on a former US Air A330 I was a wreck.
I arrived at 6:30 am with over 1h to go before boarding
The lounge is not that full but will be at some point.
Not the best spread but I'm fine with it given the amount of food swallowed in the QF First Class Lounge in LAX.
I grabbed one seat to work on my laptop.
Fine Ihave time to wander within the terminal and I can spot my B737.
My seat..
I have room.
Ready to push back.
What's funny it's I thought about getting something subtential but no it's all I got for the 2h journey to JFK.. I laughed to hard within me..

ReplyDamn, it was my pleasure helping you! Glad to see a new TR on AA. Terrible Breakfast if we can call it a BF. Did you get anything from the lounge?
Thanks Thomas.
Thanks for the comment. It's still a shame.
ReplyNice and short trip report. AA is stingy. Thank you Tom.

ReplyThanks for sharing this TR
The lounge spread is rather poor and the on board breakfast is laughable
Better forget all
See you for another report
Thanks for the comment
ReplyHi Thomas and thank you for sharing this "vintage" TR.
Good thing you did not erase this one because I find this TR informative with great pics.
What a contrast having feasted on the QF F lounge and now a domestic Admirals Club. Kind of puts things into perspective doesn't it?
The lounge looks comfortable and not crowded. As poor as the food offer seems imagine a few years back and it was worst. At least now you can count with yogurt and boiled eggs as some source of protein for breakfast.
For a 2 hrs flight I would expect more. What you received is what UA gives pax in Y on domestic flights these days. Wow!
Beautiful shots throughout this TR.
See you soon for more. ;)
Thanks for your comment. Going from QF F lounge to AA domestic was quite an experience. But we can't compare.
Yeah, I was naive to expect mrore.
Cheers ;)
ReplyThanks god you haven't paid for this. I assume Y pax get nothing ?
ReplyHello Thomas!
The lounge looks bad, but onboard it's a shame. It can only be a joke!
Thank you for sharing with us my friend.
