Okaaaaaay, Houston we have a problem.

Just found out that my wife is pregnant and due in July, right when our tickets are for. Hmm.

Prob is, EY F is through AA and I can only push of the flight for up to a year from when I booked it.

Obviously a nice problem to have, but definitely a monkey wrench in my plans.

Any ideas?
Cancel and get fees waived? Go by yourself?

If he goes himself, he'll be going on many other vacations himself too  :-\

Don't expect a TR - besides for the unlimited free wifi I can't think of anything to write home about.

Nothing bad, nothing out of the ordinary.

-Design is shockingly similar to OZ F.

-Free wifi is limited to 10 passengers on the plane. F/J pax have priority and Y is on first come first serve basis.

-Couple suite is not as private as SQ (even though FA told me I can do there "whatever you want").

-Very difficult communication with FAs as their English is very limited. (one FA asked me if she may ask me a personal question l. Is it true what she heard from friends that all Jews are very smart?
I told her that I actually know quite a few stupid Jews).

-Hard product is very comfortable and nice.

-Soft product is mediocre.


...and how was double bed specifically?

I'm traveling solo so I didn't get to use the double part of it, but it doesn't look as private as SQ does.

Not really worth it craving to fly this bird.

Even when flying solo, people have the SQ FAs make the double bed, if available!

Interesting.

Nothing too exciting, but just booked 8 seats LAX-EWR, in UA Y and there are still seemingly plenty of Saver Awards there. Could be par for the course for Economy, I'm not sure

Fly earlier? Ask AA to waive redeposit fee? Get EXP?

Haha I'll just go into my local CVS and buy it...
