    Here are the details from AA's site. If you purchase tickets before June 15, the old rules apply, first bag free. Also free for first class, and premium AAdvantage members.

    I'm AAdvantage but don't know about the premium part. Tickets bought so I guess I'm OK but The Queen is not happy about the one bag thing.

    If they don't let you board early you're not premium.

    Oh. I'm "board early" on USAir and Delta but not AA.
    I'm bored easily, too.

    What possible motivation do you have to be a non-business traveler anymore?

    I'm not driving to Seattle. Or New York. Or Florida.

    Delta has eliminated its ticket jackets, too.

    They'll be flying unpainted airplanes before too long.

    Maybe we call it something else here but what's a "ticket jacket"?

    The folded piece of paper that has a pocket for your boarding pass and that they staple your claim check to. Less useful now that people are printing their own boarding passes.

    The industry calls it the same thing in Canada. It is the folded over piece of paper that the boarding pass gets placed in.

    AA already flies unpainted planes. It saves weight but the plane exterior has to be kept cleaner than a painted plane.
