News and notes from around the interweb:

It doesn’t surprise me that the last US flight will be to PHL. Went in to the lounge near A16 (I think) at PHL, only to be told that they were all US agents, and couldn’t help on AA flights. One company, of course…
$800 one way for that last US flight in coach; $1300 in biz. No SAAver availability, but both AAnytime econ (30k) and AAnytime biz (55k) available if anybody is interested. Not a bad use of miles on a CPM or nostalgia per mile basis.
