Qantas status on AA flights

I'm not aware of the AA rules changing again(?) but I just rechecked a future AA booking (SFO-JFK on a 4Class A321T) and the AA app let me select the first row of MCE for free (2x QF WP/OWEs flying).

Thanks for highlighting that. I was able to get the seats for two upcoming AA flights switched from preferred to main cabin extra for free as a QF Gold: LAX > DFW and DFW > DTW. For those curious the main benefits are extra leg room and an enhanced catering experience including free booze.

Is that enhanced in the sense of "more pumpkin"?

The AA website hasn’t been updated (QF status PAX still MIA)

Main Cabin Extra − Travel information − American Airlines

But hopefully this “enhancement” doesn’t get reenhanced.

Per the AA site (emphasis added)

Complimentary snacks and drinks​

Enjoy complimentary beer, wine and spirits; plus free Biscoff cookies or mini pretzels and soft drinks.**

So that’s a pretty big deal. Not even Qantas offers complimentary spirits on domestic flights in coach despite them claiming to be the spirit of Australia!

As for the Biscoff cookies yet another upgrade in catering compared to the scowls by AA flight attendants as they make their way down the aisle!

I've found they usually give you two minis to keep you quiet too!

I’ve probably done 40-plus flights on AA and that’s not my experience. However, most unfortunate for you to see such a thing.

Edit: And don’t forget the warm nuts

Qantas has a “thing” with spirits. It’s really annoying.

To add one more data point - I booked a few AA flights today where I was able to select MCE for free (QF WP)
