For the longest time you have needed two reference for every AA ticket if it had US flights in the booking. It seems that this has now stopped, making life easier.

How 2 minutes nearly costs me 5 hours, but gets fixed in ‘only’ 45 minutes.
I knocked up this handy flowchart showing the agony I had to go through recently when a two minute schedule change forced AA to rebook me for a flight 4 3/4 hours after landing. Next month I am flying back from Honolulu via New York to London City Airport on a ticket issued by American Airlines via…
Hints BA is getting ready to recognise AA’s Business Extra scheme
BA has already announced that it will be withdrawing it’s own scheme for Small and Medium businesses in the USA, called OnBusiness. This is being merged in to AA Business Extra scheme with effect from 27 May 2015 for US based customers only. I had a protracted series of conversations with AA/US this morning about…
HNL: The Sakura Lounge – joint Japan Airlines and American Airlines Lounge
Japan Airlines and AA share a lounge located in the main terminal at Honolulu International Airport. In the past AA shared with Qantas, but the Qantas lounge is a lot further away from AA gates. The lounge is located above The Local, a bar and restaurant. There is a lift and stairs to the lounge. The…
The tunnels at LAX between Terminal 4, 5 and 6
Since the merger of USAirways and American Airlines, flights from LAX have been moved to Terminal 6 – previously occupied by United and still by Alaska. United has moved its flights out and created space for US to use 6 gates for its flights. When US was located in Terminal 3 – you can read…
American – where upgrades beat out revenue passengers on a full flight
Several weeks ago I booked a ticket which featured early morning segments from JFK to LA and onwards to Honolulu. Roll forwards and the schedule padding to accommodate the runway works at LAX kicks in and AA rebook my flight to a lunchtime departure with a minuscule 40 minute connecting time at LA. So, today…
Flying from Dublin to New York with AA over the summer – check your bookings
AA has done a bit of a bait-and-switch with their Dublin to JFK flights over the summer. Without any announcement they have replaced the nice new 767, with proper flat beds, with a grotty old 757 with their not-flat, very sloped beds. Of course the cabin shrinks so check your bookings as you may end…
So how was the US/AA merger for you?
I’m all done this morning and whilst a little disappointed that I didn’t cross another Million Miler milestone with the merger it all seems to be OK. Here is my new-look account information: I had hoped a lot of my AmericaWest flights would have pushed the Million Miler balance to 3 million, but it’s not…
AA/US merger – MBNA cards to stay in UK
American Airlines wrote yesterday to their UK members of Aadvantage to advise them about the merger. Much has been written about the changes coming to US members. In the UK, USAirways has never issued a credit card whereas AA has issued one for a number of years. The AA card, issued by MBNA comes in…
BA/AA/US Bonus points from UK to (some of the ) USA…and some of South America!
Registration Code UKS15 I think this is designed for UK members of AAdvantage only. I hope that BA might match for Executive Club members but no news yet. The fare classes are fairly restrictive as the lower classes are excluded. First Class fares get 7,000 per round trip, Business Class earns 5,000 and Full-Fare main…
