Flew home Wednesday, totally easy minus the scan and tag yourselves bag system at AA checkin (all airlines use it).
Flying FC so can have a bag up to 70lb but the automated machine assumed the bag is overweight so won’t accept, has to be done manually in that case. Watch out if over 23kg or whatever, $100 heavy luggage fees being applied liberally if you can’t reshuffle your luggage.
Took 10 minutes from checking baggage to going upstairs and walking into lounge. 1 free drink with priority pass but at 3pm they will ask people to leave to clear seats for KLM/Air France business class pax.
Great trip, had a final meal at barcode before returning car, was meh.
Also took off the “wrong way” over the beach, a treat.
