So – first on our exhaustive list is www.aa.com – the online home of American Airlines. Now- according to my dictionary, ‘aa’ is actually less an international airline with “lots to offer our customers in the U.S. and around the globe” and more a “basaltic lava having a rough surface.” Now, I’ve never flown with AA, but pound to a penny it’s better than a transatlantic crossing on a bit of volcanic rock. Then again, would an airline look nice if I polished it and put it on my mantlepiece? The jury is still out on that.
