ORD-DFW (810 Miles) I decided to take a last minute flight to Portland to see a friend. I booked the tickets just 4 days before departure and was still able to get a round trip flight for just around $200. The catch, was flying through DFW each way and the return was Superbowl Sunday (not…
As the Holidays and the year come to an end I am constantly reminded that I did not attain my goal this year to reach American Airlines Executive Platinum status. However, I was able to learn more about Frequent Flyer miles, Hotel status, and Credit Card points than I ever thought possible. I am still…
I was lucky enough to have to fly to the great white north for work (prior to the snow this time) and I thought I would take a roundabout way of getting there to squeeze in a few end of the year miles and more importantly earn some AA 500-Mile upgrades along the way. ORD-PHX…
This post is going to be slightly different from previous posts. To be completely honest, writing was the last thing on my mind the past few months. I recently left a job I loved to pursue another opportunity, it was a tough decision, but I believe that it was the right decision and more importantly…
ORD – SEA (1,710 Miles) Another great Sunday morning flight. I decided to once again sit in the exit row, 15A this time, a window seat. Once again as the row was completely full and the shoulder space was tight, but the extra leg room made the long fight more enjoyable. I was on a…
ORD-DFW (801 Miles) This was a day that it paid to be flexible. I had a flight at 2:30PM connecting through DFW, continuing onto SEA. When I woke up I saw one of the worst sights; Ice. I knew that there was not a chance my flight would leave at 2:30PM and knew that my…
ORD – MIA (1,197 Miles) This was a Sunday flight and I do not enjoy flying on Sunday for work. It was sadly the only way to be in New Orleans early enough on Monday morning. However, several hours before my non-stop flight to New Orleans, I got the dreaded alert from American Airlines that my…
ORD-PIT (410 Miles) I was on the same exact flight as the week before, but had dramatically different results. At T-24 I logged into the AA app and my ticket had some dropped off my PNR so I was unable to check-in. After spending a few minutes on hold they were able to reattach my…
ORD-PIT (410 Miles) I was thankful to get back to business travel, but quickly learned that the Priority AAccess security lane at 6am is not the line to be in. There is a lone agent serving this line and all ORD crew goes through the crew lane which shares this agent. The result is watching…
