Not to be argumentative but........

We were on AA connecting flights from SXM through CLT into HPN last November and we did have extra space seats in the main cabin on the first leg of the trip although I don’t remember them being bulkhead as we usually try to avoid those seats. i didn’t know why at the time but The flight attendant offered us drinks and made a point of saying they were complimentary with our up-graded seats. I don’t recall being offered any drinks at all from CLT to HPN though we might have been. I don’t know when the new seat pricing structure was introduced but that’s the only time we’ve flown AA home in years.

Maybe it was due to DH’s charming personality? I know it wasn’t because of mine, and particularly NOT when I’m in travel mode!
