Hey @AmericanAir I thought firing Vasu meant this wasn’t happening. (It isn’t I know) but apparently your IFE now says enjoy earning miles on flights booked through eligible channels. Guess this was a big oversight (CLT to FRA now)

Hey @AmericanAir how many times do I have to complain that I don’t get the same treatment in first class as an executive platinum? I’m on AA 2220 right now and I had my jacket on my lap. The FA (male) asked all the men if they wanted their jackets hung up but didn’t ask me. 🙄

And when I got up to ask to hang my jacket I said “you asked the men but didn’t ask me” and he just said a lot of women want to keep it on their lap. Like no you can ask me I shouldn’t have to get up in first class to ask you to hang my jacket. Again with the sexism I guess.

I love when the agents @AmericanAir lie and say they are the EP desk. When the agent doesn’t know what a SWU is. Ummm what? never heard of a system wide upgrade? So I hung up and am back on hold for a second time 🙄

The lady near me is watching Princess dairies 2 and so am I. @AmericanAir this is what I get to do for 15 hours. The WiFi of course is spotty. My last flight to keep EP, I feel like this is an omen to switch to Delta. Yikes.

Currently 3.5 hours into a 14 hour flight in J with @AmericanAir my IFE broke as soon as we took off. They’ve reset it 3 times. The purser gave me his card and said he would document it and AA would make it up to me. My call bell and light are broken too

So now I lost $440 on a flight to Spain for this @Hyatt booking and had to spend more money to fly home from Italy instead of Spain because I decided it’s not worth the hassle to book anything else. How disappointing but also as a top tier elite?

Thanks @Hyatt for canceling a reservation less than 48 hours before check in after I already bought a flight to literal Spain. Way to treat your globalists. A pricing error should have been fixed well over a week ago. Not before check in

I guess international women’s day is the perfect day to announce this. Instagram has way more info instagram.com/ashleygetsarou…

2/2 in the 24 hours since I announced I already have 20+ speakers/panelists on a wide variety of topics such as cruises, car rentals, credit card rewards you didn’t know about, award travel, how to book ANA RTW trips and tons more.

1/2 I’ve decided I’m hosting my own travel “hacking” conference. Too many of these conferences have little or no women speakers, but yet women make 85% of decisions related to travel. Pencil me in for November 10-12

Could someone help me with a @united Polaris lounge question. I am flying ANA in business class to Chicago with a domestic first class connection to New York. The United website makes it seem like I won’t have access to the lounge. (You get flagship lounge with AA in this case.)

Very excited to speak at Women’s Travel Fest in NYC next weekend. Anyone else attending?

Such a fun meetup with @ashleygetsround tonight! Turns out Ashley and we are such nerds about some of the same niche elements of travel that 4.5 hours flew by before we knew it! If you enjoy our travels, definitely give her a follow - especially on Instagram.

I’ve had a rough day with my preferred airline @AmericanAir After being told not to take photos of myself and that it wasn’t allowed, now we’ve been on the plane over an hour. Which isn’t true. Haven’t taken off yet and no PBD. AA1495.

I’ve noticed that as a woman EP’sI’m not treated as well as the male executive platinums. They get asked if their coat can be hung up. I’ve never once been asked. Last week the guy next to me got thanked for me an executive plat but I didn’t. @AmericanAir
Whomever over at @emirates wrote this press release deserves a raise. They’ve had it and I’m here for it. 🍿 Maybe it’s time I start flying @emirates
British airways canceled my flights last minute 8 hours before check in. Dealing with @British_Airways even as a OW emerald was a nightmare. But @AmericanAir EP desk was so helpful all 3 times I had to call tonight.
