Lines at the airports seem to be getting much worse and a lot of the problem is attributed to the TSA being understaffed as well as “tightened security procedures“.
The long-line problem could get even worse during the upcoming busy summer travel season. However, one airline has an idea on a way to help alleviate the wait times for travelers. Continue reading American Airlines Spending $4 Million to Speed Up Lines At Airports

Rachel Barton Pine, a famous violinist was stopped by an American Airlines pilot from bringing her 1742 violin from being brought onboard as a carry on.
The pilot said that the violin, insured for almost $20,000,000 was too big. When Pine mentioned that the FAA and American Airlines allow instruments like her violin on (first come first serve as long as they fit in the overhead bin or under a seat) he got nasty. Continue reading AA Pilot Doesn’t Allow $20,000,000 Violin on Plane!
Drinking and flying just doesn’t mix for some people.
A few months back a drunk woman tried to open the door on a British Airways flight. A couple of summers back, two drunk woman caused a plane to have to turn back. Last summer, a passenger was beaten and restrained during a flight.

I recently wrote about how Lucas and I were heading off on our first Father Son Trip.
This trip is bound to be an interesting adventure but we’ll be flying in style in business class! (Check out my Poland Trip Planning post here.)
On the way to Poland we flew in AA Business Class. (On the way home, we’re flying with Air Berlin.) Continue reading Time To Reserve Your American Airlines Business Class Meal
I recently shared some exciting news about why I had to cancel our flights to Fiji and Vanuatu which were booked with AA miles.
When you cancel an AA award you are given time to rebook your trip or you can pay a fee to have your miles redeposited into your account.
At the moment our tickets can still be rebooked but with the time window allowed for this, its highly unlikely that we’ll be able to do so. Continue reading AA Responds to My Request to Waive Award Ticket Cancellation Fee
Yesterday I wrote about an AA award flight to Fiji and Vanuatu that I had to cancel for a great reason. While it was painful at first to cancel the booking, I am totally cool with it…
Some of you might wonder- what happened to the tickets or miles since I cancelled our flight? Continue reading Canceled AA Award to Fiji & Vanuatu, What Happened to My Miles?
Kim, Lucas and I take lots of trips each year. We usually fly to destinations around 8-10 times (per year). Of those trips, 2-3 are what I’d consider bigger trips.
Last year we went to Myanmar over spring break. We visited four Mid-East Gulf States during the summer. (I’ve written some trips reports about each of the destinations mentioned but slacked off and didn’t finish…)
When the school year began I only had a couple of trips being planned and I started talking about where to go in the spring of 2016. Continue reading Canceled An AA Award to Fiji & Vanuatu- Find Out Why!
Around a year back those of us with US Airways credit cards became American Airlines AAdvantage Aviator Red card holders.
While I haven’t used the card much, I did hold onto it when Barclays gave me a retention offer. The bank has had some decent bonus offers from time to time plus cardmembers get perks like 10% off redeemed miles, up to 10,000 miles per year. Those were enough reasons to keep the card with no fee.
I just received a new bonus offer where I can earn up to 2,500 AAdvantage miles. Continue reading Up To 2500 Bonus Miles w/ AAdvantage Aviator Red Card
Back in September, Kim, Lucas and I headed off on a trip to Grenada.
Along the way we had some issues with American Airlines due to switched flights and a broken stroller.
We flew from New York’s LaGuardia Airport to Miami before heading off for our final destination. Upon arrival in Miami, I noticed that something was wrong with our stroller and it turned out that it had gotten broken along the way.
I filed a report at the airport and hoped) that AA would do right by us and cover the cost to replace our stroller. Continue reading Did American Airlines Compensate Us For Breaking Our Stroller?
