Having their credit card moves you up. Then the worst part is not getting to pick your seat until check in Coincidentally, just bought a small chunk of AA stock today Edited March 13, 2020 by enjoralas 1 Quote

Wow AA stock is like half the price of a few weeks ago. Vail stock was up 17% today after losing almost half of its value. Edited March 14, 2020 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote

They did not have enough people to check our bags. Hardly any of the kiosks worked to self check. The people that used the working kiosks got charged twice on their credit cards. Having to pay to take skis with us. Ran out of overhead space when the plane was no where near full. On the way home, some people’s skis ended up in Dallas, not Philadelphia.

Expand The whole scene at the Philadelphia airport leaving was poor planning on their part. They knew a large number of people would be checking ski and snowboard equipment, not enough staff to check them, and the kiosks were probably from 1987. I get to the airport at 230 am, and don’t get to security until 4 am. Quote

The same people in the Ikon group on Facebook who are still demanding compensation cause they didn’t get as many days as they wanted on their pass. Quote
Barb Posted March 19, 2020 Report Posted March 19, 2020 I only got 5 days on my epic pass (6 if you count the one run before my injury) all at Crested Butte. Not complaining, it paid for itself. I just ordered Full Epic for next season since there was talk of a PASR Telluride trip. Don’t disappoint me. 3 1 Quote
