Those prices are 8 years apart.So this is 10 years ago vs today? Or what? Because if it's 10 years of price change, the first is more than the rate of inflation, the second is less.Looking at trips I have routinely taken:
PHL/SAV: $230 > $394
PHL/OGG: $750 > $861

Also worth noting that Preferred/Premium seating has gone up significantly in that timeframe, too, along with more seats being labeled as Preferred (for AA).

so while I think it’s good that a statute like this exists now, I agree with you only because if a customer still takes the original flight, even if it’s delayed 3+ hours, they likely won’t be eligible for any cashWake me up when this turns out to have any relevant teeth whatsoever.
so if I’m on a flight that gets delayed 6 hours but I can’t/dont want to rebook because the other flights are more expensive, I’m kind of **** out of luck
a rule like this needs to exist for bare minimum consumer protection but I’d be surprised if I ever actually received compensation for this

Because I felt like spending money today and the upgrades weren't awful I upgraded out flights both going to and coming back from Jamaica to First Class/Business Class. I think I have everything else taken care of. C5 forms are done, our passports are good, got transportation arranged to and from the resort etc. This kind of snuck up on me...only a couple weeks away.

AA changed our return trip from Kansas to late afternoon, which IMO is always a risk in late summer with their storms. Called them and had them rebook us on an earlier flight. Initial flight was on an A319, which is like the red headed stepchild in Airbus, and the new flight is on an E175. Normally, I'd not be thrilled about this, but their MCE seats are superior to those in the A319.

The A319ceo was actually quite a popular aircraft, with over a thousand sold. Three of the four largest operators of the type are American, United, and Delta (EasyJet is the fourth). It's basically a victim of the general up-sizing for narrow-body aircraft, because the A319neo has barely any orders—62 orders for the A319neo as opposed to 4,000+ for the A320neo and 6,000+ for the A321neo. One can see the same thing going on for the 737MAX, where other than Southwest hardly anyone has ordered the MAX 7 and most orders are for the larger variants.
I would say that the true red-headed stepchild of the A320 family was the "double shrink" A318. They only built something like 80 of them total, and only something like four airlines ever operated them. Most were sold through the Airbus Corporate Jets program as business jets for government customers and the like. Airbus didn't even bother offering a neo version of the A318.

We took our annual Bronx Zoo trip today, and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect. All of the animals were out and about, just a good time.
That said, what in the ever loving **** is going on with the GWB and I95 just north of Newark? We spent 45-60 minutes more in the car each way because of the absurd traffic. Thirty minutes alone just getting out of the Bronx to the entrance of the GWB.

You're not in traffic, you are traffic.
Maybe they were all going to the zoo.
