Well I found it amusing at least. All the thumbs down are probably those with sense of humour deficit.
Though have only had positive experiences with AA, domestically, don’t think I’d chance them long-haul. There’ll be all that kerfuffle with extras, meals, bags, seats yada yada yada, then mincing around in the Middle East. Just to save a few pennies. It’d have to be significant, like 40-50% less, for me to not go direct with full service airlines.
