American Airlines Replaced Its Turkey Wrap With a Turkey-Brie Sandwich — And the Brie Is a Slab [Roundup]

News and notes from around the interweb:

• I was expecting a too-small-but-still-pretty-good turkey wrap to be the sandwich option for buy on board on my American Airlines New York JFK to Austin flight last week. Oddly, it was a turkey sandwich with a chunk of brie cheese in the middle, like off the cheese plate. It wasn’t bad, exactly. Just odd.

  

  Turns out it’s the “Turkey, brie and cranberry sandwich on brioche bread with side salad and salted caramel bar” for $14 and it replaces the turkey wrap. It was on offer again on my Sunday flight.

  That’s unfortunate because (1) the turkey wrap was actually pretty good (though the corn side was way too mayo-heavy) and (2) that chunk of brie should really be softer and spreadable or spread. Still, far better than the things that came before it (like the sweaty steak sandwich from this past summer.

• Passengers in Minneapolis have a lot more flight options than local demand would warrant, thanks to Delta’s hub, but they also pay a lot more for non-stops… just like American Airlines in Charlotte. It’s a tradeoff I’d take any day, but also one that people complain about. (HT: Paul H)

• Sapphire Reserve cardholders – ‘DoubleDash’ for some groceries when you order food to avoid the delivery fee on groceries while using your monthly credits?

  I understand the current meta is to try to find the overlap between grocery stores and stores allowing pick up instead of delivery to maximize the two $10 credit credits.

  However one thing I just realized today is that it’s actually way way easier to tack on a double dash to a food delivery order and use the credits that way since the five dollar delivery fee is waived without having to hit the much higher spend threshold for free delivery otherwise. Earlier today I ordered two bottle bottles of milk from target for about $10.80 as a double dash on top of my burrito order for lunch. The $10 credit isn’t immediately visible but if you go into the promo section during the double dash you can select it there. Including the added tip the total for the milk came out to around $4, which is still fine for me because now I don’t have to carry jugs of milk home and the fees are much more negligible.
