    LINK.

    With all the negative press AA is getting both in the news and on FFer boards lately, it's nice to see a positive story. I wonder if they'd do this for me if I asked? :D

    " When we arrived at JFK, we were met at the curb with a security person, luggage handler and the head of special events. They walked us into a special check-in counter area and, lo and behold, a big video monitor (pictured) saluted me with a personalized birthday greeting.

    One of the security guards told me he’d worked at American Airlines for 35 years and had never seen anyone’s name on a video monitor."

    I wonder if the friend who called mentioned that this fellow writes a blog, so AA realized that it would probably result in free advertising. And if so, more power to 'em!

    A very attractive AA flight attendant once came to my seat and gave me a big kiss, when I was flying on my birthday with Mrs JBC. People clapped and commented. Of course she also is a good friend of ours and lived near us at the time. Still...memorable!

    Sounds like this was a Five Star Service compliments of HSBC.

    Five Star Service doesn't include a personalized check-in lane with your name displayed on the video screen and plaques upon boarding. ;)

    This was above and beyond that.

    ...and, as news of this goes viral, am sure there'll be the "why didn't they do that for me" concerns.

    Because you (and I) are not a FOE (friend of Elvin).
