I have also flown Amazsonas and it was the worst ever flight experience and also very expensive. Were the only option from La Paz to Asuncion via VVI.

Hopefulle she will make this company better.

Lucky,

Pardon my change of topic in relation to this post, but I wanted to bring this story to your attention: https://narratively.com/the-man-with-the-golden-airline-ticket/?utm_source=pocket-newtab . I'm not sure if you had come across it, but seems straight down your "frequent flyer" alley, fascinating!

@H1, interesting read. I’m sure many readers would love to have a chance to buy AAirpass today... Given creative ways for people to earn various miles/ points, I would almost argue people do have options to obtain AAirpass-lite with many airlines (and not just stuck with AA). Obviously not with similar type of travel frequency as author’s father.
