just got back from trip utilizing the new mhk AA service. here is my info. sorry it's not very good but better than nothing.
got to airport bright and early sunday after a cat's fball victory over a@m. got there about 45minutes before the flight was supposed to leave. medium sized line. only one person checking in people. no kiosks. over forty five minutes later i finally had my ticket in hand. hilariously slow/horrible checking in of passengers that eventually led to the plane taking off 45 minutes late. seriously. 45 minutes late just cause they couldn't get people checked in efficiently. i think they were supposed to have two people working but one overslept and was hungover and didn't get there until kinda the end. anyway, the flight was overbooked. people were told they might not get on. i was not worried as i already picked out my seat a few weeks in advance and had a seat number. a husband/wife texas a&m duo did not both get on the flight. she did but he didn't. he was obviously the winner since he was able to soak up eight more hours of manhattan greatness. the plane is tiny but amazing.
flight back last night was again late in departing. this time due to weather and stuff. plane only had five empty seats. not bad for a wednesday night flight. a lot of ugly people on the flight back though. A LOT. probably just visitors/tourists. also, it was raining and even a normal sized carry on can't be carried on due to the small size of the plane so you check it w/ a red tag right before boarding the plane. anyway, last night it's pouring rain and they unload the luggage and then just leave it outside in the rain while you wait to unboard. jfc. put up an awning/tent structure or something.
that's it.
