Hello from Los Angeles!
My week was fairly uneventful, and I spent most of it getting caught up on the blog. I did fly from Tampa to LA on American, and I missed my upgrade on both of them. In fairness I also didn’t think I’d get the upgrade when I booked. But I actually had a specific time I needed to fly, which limited my options.
That might not sound exciting, but I've only missed a handful of upgrades on American over the years, and never two in a row, so it was a new experience for me ;).
