Will be curious to hear whether you have more success getting upgrades on AA from TPA than Delta - circle back on this in ~5-6 months if you don’t mind

The systemwide upgrades are a nice touch and late last year they finally introduced the ability to redeem them online (previously had to call AA customer service which was ridiculous). Unfortunately it only applies to one leg of your journey if you’re connecting, so if you are going TPA-CLT-CDG as an example you’d want to choose CLT-CDG as your “systemwide upgrade” leg and then hope you get upgraded at the airport from TPA-CLT.

The real “hidden” benefit that I pray they don’t take away is the ability to get Main Cabin Extra at booking for no added costs. It essentially has the same perks as business on some flights (especially on the regional jets like the CRJ-900).

Also - the meals are truly “fine” in business - sometimes they are great and sometimes not so much. Have you had Delta’s new in-flight Shake Shack burger in business?

Flew from Chicago to Omaha Monday. While getting off the plane, two foreigners managed to get from the last row to the exit row before I stood up to block them. They still managed to get off the plane before my wife who was sitting next to me.

The wife and I stayed 3 nights at a pretty cool Airbnb in Castle Rock after skiing in Keystone with our kids. It was a cool town. My sister lived in Pueblo for about 5 years and I had driven through it a ton, but never actually stopped. Neat little downtown scene. Interestingly enough, one of the best restaurants is in the Hospital in Castle Rock. The hospital is owned by the Seventh Day Adventists and they hired a chef from New York and let him do his thing with the menu. Great food and really inexpensive. They don't accept tips, since they pay their workers a normal wage, so anything you tip is donated to one of the local food banks.
