Just finished a flight from Shanghai to LAX in Flagship Business (AA 787-800). The pod beside me was empty. International upgrades sucking is a true story.

? I’ve used up all my SWUs for the year

I wasn't upgraded, but nobody else was either

No such thing as “flagship business”... no use what this post even means.

AA’s international premium cabins are now branded Flagship Business and Flagship First

AA1 you don't know what you're talking about. I spent 24 flight hours in American Airlines flagship business class this week. Get a better firm or better clients.

The Terminal 4 Lounge at LAX literally says Flagship.

International flights require you to use a SWU to upgrade unless economy is oversold and they give op-ups

Accenture doesn’t let anyone (MD’s maybe) fly in business class even if it’s a 10+ hour flight.

I would get ridiculed beyond comprehension if I dared ask for bus. cls. tickets from my project leadership

Well that’s weird. We fly biz on anything billable longer than 3 hours
