More time spent flying than coding is worth it for American on Windows Phone

Posted on by

It’s no British Airways, but I’d rather a better in-flight experience and a sightly above average mobile application (which is what American Airlines offer me), than a whizz-bang Windows Phone app coupled with the Edinburgh to Heathrow BA shuttle. … it does the job of getting me relevant information while I’m travelling.

Anyway, from here it’s on to Dallas, then into Las Vegas. Should be getting in around 8pm local time, and after stopping off to freshen up at the Excalibur Hotel, I’ll be heading to the TechSet party.
