Beginning with American Airlines new 787-900 Dreamliner, American became the first legacy carrier in the US to offer a true “Premium Economy” cabin. In the coming years American will expand the premium economy offering to the Boeing 777-200, Boeing 777-300, and Airbus A330 (legacy US Airways) aircraft. For now the only way to fly premium…
One of my favorite aspects about flying Delta Air Lines recently has been the unbelievably helpful mobile app notifications. American Airlines for example, notifies you of every single gate change leading up to departure, but always manages to ultimately be wrong. Delta’s mobile app notifications are perfect! I receive a notification 24 hours before the…
A few weeks ago American Airlines sent me an email letting me know that I would NOT qualify for AAdvantage Platinum status for 2017. At first I quickly passed up the opportunity to purchase AAdvantage Gold Status for $499.00, but the offer just became a little more interesting. If you do not frequently check other websites…

Today, American Airlines sent AAdvantage members an email letting everyone know of the upcoming changes to their frequent flyer program. Although the changes should not be a surprise to most, I wanted to take a few moments to discuss some of the more significant changes and share my views. Keep in mind I typically fly…
This past weekend I finally had the pleasure of visiting and staying in Toronto. I had been to Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) before, but never had the opportunity to visit the city. I decided to book with American Airlines due to the very low prices and because it will most likely be my last…
After remaining extremely loyal to American Airlines for over two years I have once again become a free agent! It is definitely a weird feeling knowing that I will not retain status with American Airlines, but I am excited to try new products and hopefully begin to understand why so many people despise American. In…
After breaking up with American Airlines a significant factor in deciding between United and Delta was lounge access.
