MIA-LAX American 777

Our Carribean Correspondent was boarding AA299 earlier today, when the gate agent noticed his, "Airplane Life," T-shirt (not yet available to the general public; our distributor laid-off half of their staff when Obama was re-elected), and gave him a free upgrade.

She assigned him, FIRST CLASS - Seat, "1A."

How cruzin' does that look ...

We appreciate the upgrade, and reccommend, "AMERICAN AIRLINES," to all of our blog viewers!

And a Special Thanks goes to Miami AA Gate Agent, "Ann." You're Awesome!

We still have a flight bag from that bygone era  ....
