Albuquerque. Seeing friends, heading down to Costa Rica or Mexico with
them for a few days' R&R (leaving them to organise that side of things),
then back to Albuquerque.

There's an Albuquerquian (?) on reeky, isn't there?

A couple of weeks all told.

Scored a *very* good deal on the flights. British Airways biz class all
the way there and back, for £1800 a head. Via Chicago, with the leg to
Albuquerque on some outfit called American Eagle, standing in for
American Airlines.

Never heard of them.....

American Eagle is basically the short-haul branch of AA; the flights are
operated under AA numbers and the planes all are painted in AA livery,
but they're generally operated by smaller, regional airline companies.
For a Chicago-Albuquerque flight, you can probably expect something
like a Canadair (Bombardier) CRJ-700, one of their "regional jets" (sort
of a mini-twin-engined-airliner).

(Actually, Chicago-Albuquerque isn't all that short of a flight, but there
likely just isn't enough of a passenger load on that route to justify a
"real" airliner.)
