My dad took a flight yesterday in American first class (a domestic connection after returning from Europe), and he asked me an interesting question that I figure is worth addressing here. Somehow, it’s a topic that I’ve never explicitly addressed.
My dad is also a senior, and while he’d be mad if I shared his age, he has qualified for a senior discount at Dunkin’ for decades, if that’s any indication.
Anyway, his confusion is understandable, especially if you’re not a super frequent flyer on US airlines. For one, lots of flight attendants on US airlines do gladly help with bags. Next, if you fly a foreign carrier, it’s common for them to proactively help with bags.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
