I suggest you try riding along in their A340-600 in back...I wouldn't go so far as to say "decent leg room"...GREAT service, and I love plane watching in FRA, but their leg room is abysmal!

I did BKK-FRA on them in coach (747) and man it was a long flight. But the service beats the crap out of the typical US-based airline!!!
Different clientele though.
I've heard 3x the drama on a 2 hour flight from DFW to IAD than I ever do on a 10 hour flight from JFK-ATH.
Maybe it's because I ain't be talkin' no Greek and shizzle.
Seems like an average domestic flight is a bag of snack mix away from a "Passengers Revolution" or ending up on cable news.

I don't know what equipment you flew in with TAM, but I flew on one of their A330s MIA-GRU and the seats are extremely cramped. The AVOD on the other hand is pretty good though.
Nah, someone would get offended and complain about it first.

You clearly aren't speaking Greek! I guarantee you there is drama on the JFK-ATH flight!

USAir charges for a blanket. I think the charge is $8 and includes eye shades, ear plugs, a blow up neck pillow as well as the blanket. It's yours to keep.
Not a bad deal and at least you know it's new and clean. I would imagine that American is going to offer the same type of product.
I don't have a problem with the blanket charge. What I never understood is why USAir took out the multi million dollar inflight entertainment system and turned off the laptop powerplugs. What the heck are you supposed to do on a 4-5 hour transcon flight?

Its going to be like the soup nazi within the next few years.
Passengers are going to get on the plane to find a bear trap on the seat.
Pax:"Excuse me, my seat has a bear trap in it."
FA:"You no want bear trap? $11."
Pax:"You're going to charge me $11?"
FA:"$25."
Pax:"You just said $11!"
FA:"No flight for you"*tazer*

Pays to fly
I bought LCC stock for about $2 this summer and AMR for about $5.
On Friday AMR was at $8.79 and LCC was at $6.81.
Pax are cheap, charge 'em for whatever you wish, and keep looking out for the shareholders as they own the company.
These days we pay fares that are a joke compared to what they used to be. Yeah, the planes are more efficient and they pay the employees less, but, I can certainly understand the airlines charging for every little thing these days.
