Thanks and Austrian?

EWR-YYZ is a short hop at the beginning of the trip, after that you're in a proper business class seat all the way to TLV.

And while YYZ is horrific, would you rather have the connection at that point of the journey and continue in a lie flat business class seat, or would you prefer to have to go through a connection after 6-8 hours of flight, only to be put in fake J (economy seat with middle seat blocked off) for the final leg?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Disappointingly, I was on AC80 this week and it was angle flat.

I don't remember that from the last time I flew ac.

How do I get an AA business upgrade with miles? I have Gold.

Planes business seats were half empty. I got free premium economy upgrade but see no option to upgrade

I didn't get around to asking GA for upgrade request

How did you get upgrade to premium for free?

And then everyone will charge the same prices as before and include nothing.

You can now buy basic economy tickets transatlantic for over $1,500 RT. What's basic about a ticket that costs over $1,500?

Very simple. You're not going to see cheaper business fares with carriers starting to offer unbundled business class tickets (business basic). You're only going to see price hikes.

Do you know where I can buy one of those saks mini memory foam pillows that they give out on Polaris Business. I wasn't going to walk out with it and I can't find it for sale anywhere on line.

Better lounge experience on AA (Flagship Business vs United Club).

AA on their website claims the flagship first lounge is closed in LAX. I was there a few weeks ago in the regular lounge and i thought the flagship was open... Any ideas?
