Do we get an automatic status on airlines? I’m traveling with American Airlines and is very bad that I need to pay for my own seat upgrade if I don’t want to go on the middle sit.

#firstworldproblems. But I do agree OP, it is “very bad” that you have to pay if you want to upgrade and haven’t earned the status by using the airline’s services before. I feel like contacting your local congress member is the appropriate next step

Try seatselect.aa.com

We get preferred seating there’s a link to the aa site when you’re booking the ticket. You gotta go into the aa website after you buy and you can pick a better seat

I believe it works for DL and AA

Nope - call them for a status challenge. Although I think we get preferred seating - check out the travel portal for more info

It’s kind of a bummer if you are traveling biweekly or something so you don’t really have an opportunity to build up status despite being a loyal customer... I get it. Looking forward to my seat assignment of 37A on my flight home this week

Is anyone able to give me the Marriott Family or/and friends discount paper? 🤗

She’s on my leg and she’s snoring, but I don’t want to move since she looks so comfy. I’m her slave. Planning her birthday— go to the dog beach + eat at a restaurant with a doggie menu + get a pup cake at a dog cafe + spend a night at a hotel (having trouble finding hotels that’s allow dogs >50lbs 😒). What else can I do for her? She has too many toys & doesn’t play with them often. No need for more treats since she eats more treats than kibbles. But what gift can I get her?

I'm a light sleeper who cares too much about the people around me, but I've got a flight to London next Friday from 7pm NYC time to 7am UK time, and I'd really like to master sleeping on a plane just this once and not be in jet lag hell for the entire day after I land. I'll be in premium economy in an aisle seat. I usually take melatonin before bed and sleep on my side. Does anyone have suggestions for an OTC sleeping pill or pillow that actually works, or other advice for sleeping on a plane?
