A Day in Guatemala City, Guatemala City, Guatemala

My flights to Guatemala were uneventful with the exception of the AA gate agent requesting me to insert my bag into the size. After it went in, she said it didn鈥檛 fit because I pushed it. I looked at her and said, 鈥淚鈥檝e traveled around the world with this bag.鈥�

I find this annoying on two accounts. First the sizer is much smaller than the overhead bin for an A300 (there was at least 2 inches to spare when I placed my bag above my seat). Second, they seem to target tourists. For long distance flights, I dress in long cotton pants and a cotton shirt for comfort. Because I wasn鈥檛 donning a business suit, I qualified for harassment as did my seat mates.

They have done this twice to me with two different bags at the same gate to Dallas in the last six months. Little do they know I fly internationally multiple times a year.聽If loyalty mattered, perhaps I鈥檇 only fly American so they鈥檇 treat me better, but this happened to me even with Gold status!

I found it more disconcerting, that the flight to Guatemala was treated like a domestic flight. I was prepared to watch all the academy award films, yet no in-seat entertainment was included and the drop-down screen showed a TV program. I normally read, so the entertainment options aren鈥檛 generally important to me, but this time I truly planned to catch up on movies. Boo! In addition, the only food provided was a biscuit. I鈥檓 glad a brought a huge selection of snacks. With this type service, however, I may as well have flown a budget airline! ......
