Coralc Posted March 15, 2020 #1130 Share Posted March 15, 2020 You obviously received the old form John. At least DFW is a little more up to date with their handouts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Sea Dog Posted March 15, 2020 #1131 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) So glad you are safe and sound. In the spirit of Covid-19 We ordered pizza and watched the movie "Contagion." Considering it was written and produced in 2011 it rings eerily similar in a lot of ways to today. Edited March 15, 2020 by Sea Dog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twangster Posted March 15, 2020 #1141 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I didn't want to say much while enroute fearing AA would cancel my ticket but I caught them price gouging. My one way ticket from BCN with an overnight in London cost me $2,445. I booked after the travel ban was announced but before it was clarified that it didn't apply to US citizens. Coach not available so I booked Premium Economy, the cheapest fare available. While I was at BCN airport after I had checked in I was curious what options were available. My exact flights I was about to board was now half the price. Coach still sold out, Premium Economy had been cut to $1,209. Business class was $3,694 and First was sold out. Thirty four hours with an overnight stop in London at my own expense. Better routing with one less hop was available for $2,915. As I booked it flights were selling out. I am not the only gouging victim. Got give AA credit for knowing how to capitalize on a situation. While I am glad to be home I won't be flying AA for a very long time. They may have maximized revenue in the short term but lost me as a customer in the long term. I was once Platinum with them when I flew a lot for business. Some blame lies at the feet of the administration for not articulating the travel ban properly when it was initially announced. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other agencies to complain to. Domestically the DOT may be involved, uncertain for a flight starting in Spain. Need to explore the proper governments to involve, who may have more pressing issues at the moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the 80's AA was one of the best. Coast-to-coast service was exceptional. They finally lost me when they moved all customer service desks at DFW outside of security years ago and left me stranded with a canceled connection and no one to talk to. Now I only fly them in and out of Miami out of convenience. Glad you made it home and hope the cruise was great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it was a conscious choice or if their normal pricing algorithms kicked in and auto raised prices due to demand. Seems like a big jump though. My daughter is in the air right now on an AA plane, although BA ticket, from LHR to ORD. Her cost for economy was $650. She booked on Friday.

Algorithm's are easily programmed with safety limits. That's the beauty of programming, it can handle complexities. If $price is 400% of $normal within 3 hours then something is wrong. Keep in mind $1,209 is the capped but inflated price. If you want to compare to normal averages I am probably 250% to 300%. While some may see them pointing the finger at their computer systems, I see their computer systems pointing the finger right back at them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it not have been cheaper booking a return flight then dump the return. I've done this before. I've also done it with 2 Transatlantics.
