Now that I'm living in a different city than my parents for the first time, I'm having to fly home for the holidays. This might come as a shock to you guys, but I'm generally not a fan of high air fares and full flights (filled mostly with infrequent travelers). So I've done the best…

I am glad you got your laptop back, felt bad for you after your tweet. Happy Thanksgiving Ben. Enjoy your time with your mom and dad. Am sure they are glad to have you home for a while.
Glad to hear you had a good flight on AA. I had a really good experience recently as well. Just ignore the teenagers if you can. Ask me how I know? I raised four and used to teach high school in another life. Happy Thanksgiving!
I flew with a flight attendant named Krista on MKE-DFW several weeks ago, and the service level was just about as fantastic as you described. Could it have been the same FA?
Glad that you recovered your laptop. And nice to hear that there is good customer service on US planes these days. Sad to say though that's it's such a rarity - it shouldn't be.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. Love y'all too!
@ Dan -- Her name was definitely Christine, at least that's what her name tag said. Though maybe it was the same person?
That IS impressive. Remembering your name and connecting flight. Nice touch. Good job, Christine.
Really, Lucky? As I was sitting in 1A, it's clear I saw Christine first. And because she addressed me by name, you would have heard it too. Can we say hat tip?
Only kidding and recognising the ridiculousness you, Gary and other bloggers go through. Wish you and your readers all the best. Happy Thanksgiving!
I do hope you tell AA about Christine via a letter, and not rely on them reading your blog. She sounds fantastic. Congrats.
Happy Thanksgiving, Ben. I am thankful that I found your blog a few years ago and for all your tips. Have fun with the family!
"Christine, you’re the greatest person ever."
Um, what? Is this some sort of joke? I'm happy you got great service, truly I am, but is going this far really necessary? Seems like the ultimate "first world compliment" just for doing her job with a friendly and willing attitude.
This one sounds like it warrants a letter of commendation to HQ. Write in to the CEO....99% of what they must get are complaints....nice to see some praise for a change.
Flew UA BRU-EWR on Thansgiving and had a similar experience service wise, including washing a Happy Thanksgiving and thanking each passenger for flying. Have to say the Purser was not the nicest, she had a favorites and when she welcomed 1Ks she skipped me and even tied to deny me moving to a pair of open seats for crew rest seats. Thankfully my attendant actually checked the manifest and found other suitable crew seating.
Oh no, it sounds like Janesis has some competition!!!
Glad you had a great flight & got your laptop back.
