I fear this has done numbers on my psychology...

Shares to the cloud (see www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL60..., www.youtube.com/watch?v=FU8N...). It seems like over the years, various bits and pieces of UA's IT have been moved over to AWS, and this is the next piece in the puzzle.

Are regionals included in those numbers?

The real surprise with AA is getting a delay reason at all

If you avoid both New Years and Chinese New Years, then I think the Grand Hyatt is available for under 400/night

What's the budget?

AA has long done a red eye departure bank the Sunday after Thanksgiving, see for example thepointsguy.com/news/america... from 2019

Ugly. In particular, why does the Ns look like that? The historical orange zig zag livery has normal Ns

Rachel Reeves' milkshake tax is not bringing all the boys to the yard

Blue Lion Dimitri unit but Dimitri has lion ears

Counterpoint:

Here U Are in 2025???? In this economy?!?!?!

BA charges for seat selection even in J (unless you have oneworld status)

What's the budget? Park Hyatt Kyoto and Banyan Tree Higashiyama Kyoto are both in a really nice area.

The return doesn't need to be LH! Why not try OS or TP?

One way J award through UA for LH TATL should be 88k with a potential discount to 80k for status/cardholders

Be right back going to go dress up my niece and nephew as the 4th wall (from hit novel Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint)

Premium including passengers with status? A number of UA terminals have a Star Alliance Gold security line, referred to as Gold Track
