deal of the day. American wanted $100 for my now 66 lb bag. I was like, really? even for elite? he was like well, are you first? I said, I’m on the list, but it hasn’t cleared. I then asked if we could go inside (I was at the curb) and inquire about paying for an upgrade. He was like, good idea! He prints my boarding passes … I was already in first. he was so excited that he didn’t have to charge me. It was stellar.
