AAdvantage® terms and conditions

These reservations of rights apply to all aspects of the AAdvantage^® program, including without limitation, all AAdvantage^® Status such as AAdvantage Gold^®, AAdvantage Platinum^®, AAdvantage Platinum Pro^®, AAdvantage Executive Platinum^®, ConciergeKey^®, and AAdvantage Million Miler™.

American Airlines may, in its discretion, change the AAdvantage^® program rules, regulations, travel awards, and special offers at any time with or without notice. This means that the accumulation of AAdvantage^® Rewards and Benefits does not entitle you to any vested rights with respect to such AAdvantage^® Rewards and Benefits. American provided notice of changes to the AAdvantage^® program in 2022 and 2023, including the adoption of Loyalty Points for tracking certain AAdvantage^® Status qualification, but this does not mean that similar notice will be provided for other changes. Your continued participation in the AAdvantage^® program during 2023 and beyond confirms your acceptance of the changes made as of the publication date of these Terms and Conditions.

AAdvantage^® award tickets are available while supplies last. Further, you may not be able to earn mileage on all flights or use miles for travel to all destinations or on all flights. Any award may be withdrawn or subject to increased mileage requirements or new restrictions at any time.

AAdvantage^® Rewards and Benefits are available while supplies last.

American Airlines may, among other things, (i) withdraw, limit, modify, or cancel any AAdvantage^® Rewards and Benefits; (ii) change AAdvantage^® Rewards and Benefits, participant affiliations, conditions of participation, rules for earning, redeeming, retaining, forfeiting or transferring AAdvantage^® Rewards and Benefits, or rules for the use of AAdvantage^® Rewards and Benefits; (iii) rename or redefine program elements or benefits; or (iv) modify or end any AAdvantage^® Status and associated benefits.

American Airlines may make any one or more of these changes at any time even though such changes may affect your ability to use the AAdvantage^® Rewards and Benefits that you have already accumulated. Program services and benefits available through the oneworld^® alliance or other participating partners in connection with the AAdvantage^® program are subject to change without notice. American Airlines reserves the right to end the AAdvantage^® program with six months’ notice. AAdvantage^® Rewards and Benefits and special offers are subject to government regulations. American Airlines may at any time suspend or terminate any AAdvantage^® account for any reason in its sole discretion, such as suspending or terminating any AAdvantage^® account associated with a customer who violates American Airlines policies and procedures as determined by American Airlines in its sole discretion, including but not limited to when such customer has been added to the American Airlines “no fly list” for any reason.

• Except as expressly permitted by American Airlines, only individuals are eligible for AAdvantage^® program membership. Each eligible individual is limited to one AAdvantage^® program membership.
• You are responsible for reading these AAdvantage^® Program Terms and Conditions, additional member information, AAdvantage^® newsletters, and account details available in your online AAdvantage^® account in order to understand your rights, responsibilities, and AAdvantage^® Rewards and Benefits under the AAdvantage^® program. American Airlines may amend its rules of the AAdvantage^® program at any time without notice. American Airlines has no liability for correspondence that is misdirected, lost, stolen, damaged, or delayed.
• You understand and agree that the AAdvantage^® program and any and all information associated with the AAdvantage^® program such as your AAdvantage^® member information, AAdvantage^® account number and password are solely owned by American Airlines as “American Data” and are confidential information of American Airlines. Except for the sharing of your AAdvantage^® account number with AAdvantage^® partners as permitted by the AAdvantage^® program, you may not share any American Data with any third party without American Airlines’ express consent. However, for purposes of accessing your AAdvantage^® account with your consent, a person in your household or a person that you directly supervise as part of their career or employment may also use your AAdvantage^® account number and password solely to provide administrative support to you in connection with your AAdvantage^® account. American Airlines will have no liability in connection with any unauthorized use or access of your AAdvantage^® account, AAdvantage^® account number or password.
• Any departure fee, immigration fee, security fee, tax liability surcharge, passenger facility charge, or any other fee or surcharge (whether enacted by a governmental authority or otherwise) is the responsibility of the passenger and/or the AAdvantage^® member.
• The AAdvantage^® Status qualification year begins on March 1 and runs through the last day of February of the following calendar year. The AAdvantage^® Status membership year (when your status is valid) takes effect the date you qualify, or April 1 (whichever comes first) and will be valid through March 31.
• Effective March 1, 2022, AAdvantage^® members must have Qualifying Activity once every 24 months, or be the primary holder of an open AAdvantage^® credit card account associated to their AAdvantage^® account, in order to retain their miles. “Qualifying Activity” is defined as redeeming any AAdvantage^® award or accruing mileage credit on any eligible American, or AAdvantage^® airline participant, as well as accruing mileage credit with participating hotels, car rental companies, credit cards, and other service providers offering AAdvantage^® mileage credit. The primary AAdvantage^® credit cardmember should refer to their AAdvantage^® card agreement to understand their obligations to keep the account open, and understand the conditions under which their AAdvantage^® credit card issuing bank may close the account, including inactivity. Unless otherwise stated, if your account has no Qualifying Activity in any 24-month period, all miles in the account will expire. Primary AAdvantage^® credit cardmembers will not be subject to the 24-month Qualifying Activity period. However, upon closure of the AAdvantage^® credit card account, AAdvantage^® members will be subject to the 24-month Qualifying Activity requirement and must have mileage earning or redeeming activity within 4 months of closure or within 24 months of the last Qualifying Activity date, whichever is later, in order to retain their miles and their expiration date will be determined by the later date of the two. For new AAdvantage^® credit cardmembers it will take up to 24 hours after the bank’s approval until their accounts reflect that no expiration date applies to their miles. Qualifying Activity extends the expiration date of all unexpired mileage credit in your account for 24 months from the date of the Qualifying Activity. The 24-month activity requirement will not apply to AAdvantage^® members under age 21. Once an AAdvantage^® member turns 21 years of age, their account must have mileage earning or redeeming activity within 24 months of their 21st birthday in order to retain their miles. If your account does not include a birth date in the member profile, the account will be subject to the 24-month activity rule.
• Effective March 1, 2022, AAdvantage^® members may reactivate AAdvantage^® miles by paying a reactivation fee determined by the number of miles to be reactivated. Eligible AAdvantage^® members can find the fee amounts at aa.com/reactivatemiles. AAdvantage^® mileage will only be eligible for reactivation if done so within the specific timeframe determined by American from the date of expiration. AAdvantage^® members will only be allowed 1 mileage reactivation transaction within such timeframe. The AAdvantage^® program may limit the maximum number of miles permitted for reactivation during any mileage activation transaction. Any miles not reactivated at that time will be forfeited. AAdvantage^® members can reactivate their miles either on aa.com or with AAdvantage^® Customer Service.

Reactivate miles

• Except for transfers as expressly permitted via your AAdvantage^® account, you may not, at any time, purchase, transfer, sell, advertise for sale, or barter (including but not limited to by means of transferring, gifting, or promising) any AAdvantage^® Rewards and Benefits associated with the offering of any American Airlines products or services for any purpose whatsoever, such as in exchange for payment or in support of a business, product or charity and/or participation in an auction, sweepstakes, raffle or contest. Any such AAdvantage^® Rewards and Benefits are void if transferred for cash or other consideration. Violators (including any passenger who uses a purchased or bartered award ticket) may be liable for damages and litigation costs, including American Airlines attorneys’ fees incurred in enforcing this rule.
• Use of award tickets that have been acquired by purchase or for any other consideration may result in the tickets being canceled, confiscated, and/or the passenger being denied boarding. If a trip has been started, any continued travel will be at the passenger's expense on a full-fare basis. The passenger and member who attempts to use such a ticket may also be liable to American Airlines for the cost of a full fare ticket for any segments flown on a sold or bartered ticket.
• All reservations or award tickets that are made or purchased through fraudulent means are void and will be cancelled by American Airlines.
• Fraud, misrepresentation, abuse, or violation of applicable rules (including, but not limited to, American conditions of carriage, tariffs, and AAdvantage^® program rules and these Terms and Conditions) is subject to administrative and/or legal action by appropriate governmental authorities and American Airlines. Such action may include, without limitation, the forfeiture of any and all AAdvantage^® Rewards and Benefits in a member's account, as well as termination of the account and the member's future participation in the AAdvantage^® program. If your account is terminated due to inappropriate conduct or while under investigation, you may not open a new AAdvantage^® account or participate in the AAdvantage^® program in any capacity without obtaining the express written permission of American Airlines. In addition, American Airlines reserves the right to take appropriate legal action to recover damages, including its attorneys’ fees incurred in prosecuting any lawsuit.
• American Airlines reserves the right to audit any and all accounts at any time and without notice to the member to ensure compliance with AAdvantage^® program rules and applicable conditions of carriage and/or tariffs (including, but not limited to, validating that the name and date of birth on the AAdvantage^® account matches the name and date of birth in a flight reservation). In the event that an audit reveals discrepancies or violations, AAdvantage^® Rewards and Benefits may be delayed until the discrepancies or violations are resolved in a manner satisfactory to American Airlines. Pending such resolution, members may be prohibited from accessing or using your account as determined in American's sole discretion.
• If American Airlines and/or any AAdvantage^® participant improperly denies you AAdvantage^® Rewards and Benefits, your exclusive remedy shall be the issuance of the improperly denied AAdvantage^® Rewards and Benefits, if available, or such other alternative comparable benefit as determined by American, in its sole discretion. American shall have no additional liability whatsoever. In no event shall American Airlines or any AAdvantage^® participant be liable to you, or anyone claiming through a member, for any direct, indirect, or consequential damages, or lost revenue or profits, arising out of the acts or omissions of American Airlines or any AAdvantage^® participant in connection with the AAdvantage^® program.
• American Airlines reserves the right to terminate your AAdvantage^® account for inactivity. Your account may be deemed inactive and terminated without notice if: (a) you have not had any mileage earning or redeeming activity for at least 36 consecutive months; (b) your AAdvantage^® account has a current balance of zero miles; (c) you do not have an AAdvantage^® co-branded credit card open and in good standing associated with your account; (d) you do not respond to repeated communication attempts regarding the status of your account; or (e) you do not have any lifetime benefits (such as Million Miler™ or Lifetime AirPass) or an active AAdvantage^® Status. With respect to new AAdvantage^® accounts (i.e., those created within the prior twenty-four months), American Airlines reserves the right to terminate such accounts that do not have any mileage earning or redeeming activity for 12 months. In addition, your AAdvantage^® account will terminate upon your death.
• You may voluntarily terminate your AAdvantage^® account by providing written notice to AAdvantage^® Customer Service. AAdvantage^® account termination is permanent.
• All requests to terminate your account must include the following information to confirm your identity: Your full name, your AAdvantage^® number, email address on your AAdvantage^® account, your country of residence, and your date of birth.
• Any voluntary termination will be subject to these AAdvantage^® Program Terms and Conditions.

Contact AAdvantage^® Customer Service

• Termination of your AAdvantage^® account for any reason will result in the immediate forfeiture of all accrued AAdvantage^® Rewards and Benefits, including but not limited to First or Business Class upgrades, baggage fee waivers, priority boarding privileges, and access to Preferred seats.
• If you voluntarily terminate your account, American Airlines will honor award tickets or upgrades already issued at the time of account termination, but such award tickets or upgrades cannot be modified or transferred. If you terminate your AAdvantage^® account voluntarily while in good standing, you may open a new AAdvantage^® account at any time; however, any AAdvantage^® Rewards and Benefits which may have been available under your previous AAdvantage^® account prior to termination will not be reactivated or transferred to your new AAdvantage^® account.
• American Airlines is not responsible for and will have no liability arising from products and services offered by other participating companies.
• Accumulation of AAdvantage^® mileage and use of AAdvantage^® travel awards with companies other than American Airlines are subject to the continued participation of such companies in the AAdvantage^® program.
• Your mileage summaries and tickets will be sent to the email address that you provide. You may also receive special promotional materials at the mailing address and/or e-mail address you provide.
• You may view your account status and mileage summary on www.aa.com, on our app or by subscribing to receive the AAdvantage^® Account Summary. AAdvantage^® Account Summary subscribers receive their summary and information every month, as long as there is AAdvantage^® account activity in the prior three years. Your summary includes flight and participant mileage earned, Loyalty Points, along with AAdvantage^® program information and special promotions.
• All rules are subject to interpretation by designee(s) of American Airlines.

Name and Address Changes

You will be responsible for letting American Airlines know of any name, email, or address change on your account. Please ensure that the name in your AAdvantage^® account matches exactly the name on your government-issued photo ID used when you travel.

Name change requests cannot be processed over the phone. You must instead submit a copy of supporting legal documentation (e.g., court order, marriage certificate, divorce certificate) by mail or follow the instructions on this website or app to submit your identity verification. Identity verification will be required for any name change requests. Your signature and AAdvantage^® membership number must be included in all written correspondence.

Privacy policy

To ensure you receive credit for your AAdvantage^® transactions, please provide your AAdvantage^® number when you make your travel reservations or use the services of our participants. Retain all flight documents until the mileage credit appears on your mileage summary. For transactions with other participants, retain your original paid invoice. You must include your AAdvantage^® number in your reservation record for any flight on which you wish to use AAdvantage^® Status benefits.

• American Airlines is the final authority on qualification for mileage credit and Loyalty Points and reserves the right to deny or revoke mileage credit or Loyalty Points at any time if American Airlines determines that mileage credit or Loyalty Points were improperly given.
• Mileage will be credited only to the account of the AAdvantage^® member who flies, rents a car, stays at a hotel, or earns mileage utilizing other participating companies. No mileage credit will be awarded for canceled flights and/or through being accommodated on another airline. The name and date of birth on your AAdvantage^® account must match the name and date of birth in your flight reservation.
• In addition to earning miles, eligible transactions may also earn Loyalty Points as specified by American Airlines. American Airlines may use Loyalty Points for any purpose it determines in its sole discretion. For example, Loyalty Points are used to track qualification towards certain AAdvantage^® Status. One eligible AAdvantage^® mile equals one Loyalty Point. Eligible miles may be changed at any time without notice. If you accrue Loyalty Points but the accrual becomes invalid (e.g., a qualifying purchase is cancelled) or the accrual was obtained fraudulently or in an unauthorized manner, the applicable Loyalty Points will be removed and any AAdvantage^® Status qualification and benefits triggered by such accrual may be reversed.
• Except as otherwise explained below, AAdvantage^® Rewards and Benefits are not transferable and may not be combined among AAdvantage^® members, their estates, successors, or assigns. Accrued AAdvantage^® Rewards and Benefits do not constitute property of the member, do not have any residual property rights value, and are not transferable upon (i) termination, (ii) cancelation, (iii) death, (iv) as part of a domestic relations matter, or (v) otherwise by operation of law. However, American Airlines, in its sole discretion, may, on a one-time basis, credit accrued AAdvantage^® Rewards and Benefits to persons specifically identified in a court order or final settlement upon receipt of documentation satisfactory to American Airlines and upon payment of any applicable fees. Any decision made by American Airlines in response to a transfer request is final and not subject to further review. The transfer request and required documents must be provided within one year after the date of the applicable event giving rise to the request for transfer. Mileage credit is transferable between AAdvantage^® accounts when offered by American Airlines online at aa.com/buymiles.
• Unless otherwise expressly stated by American Airlines, you will not be able to transfer mileage or Loyalty Points you accumulate in the AAdvantage^® program to any other loyalty program, nor can you transfer mileage you accumulate in another loyalty program to the AAdvantage^® program. For more information, visit aa.com/converthotelpoints.
• Unless otherwise expressly stated by American Airlines, you may accrue mileage and Loyalty Points only for purchased, eligible, published-fare tickets on qualifying routes used in accordance with all applicable conditions of carriage, tariffs, rules and terms of ticketing (including but not limited to compliance with rules prohibiting hidden city, back to back and throwaway ticketing), and travel. AAdvantage^® mileage accrual eligibility on airline participant routes is subject to change without notice. Flights to/from Cuba are only eligible for mileage accrual and Loyalty Points on American Airlines flights.
• You cannot accrue partner airline miles with your partner frequent flyer number if you have already used your AAdvantage^® number to obtain any AAdvantage^® Rewards and Benefits such as First or Business Class upgrades, baggage fee waivers, priority boarding, access to Preferred seats or complimentary access to Preferred / Main Cabin Extra seats.
• American Airlines assumes no responsibility for how partners record mileage-earning transactions. Members must check with the partners to confirm how such partners record mileage-earning transactions. Please note that some partners’ products and/or services are not available in all states or countries. Additional terms may apply. In the event there is a conflict or inconsistency between the partners’ terms and conditions and these Terms and Conditions, these Terms and Conditions will control.
• Mileage and Loyalty Points can only be accumulated one time per flight, regardless of the number of seats purchased on the flight.
• After your flight departs, you will not be able to change your selection of a frequent traveler program for earning mileage credit with respect to that flight.
• You may request mileage credit for past, eligible transactions up to 12 months from the transaction date. Unless otherwise expressly permitted by American Airlines in its sole discretion, transactions occurring more than 30 days prior to your enrollment date are not eligible for mileage credit.
• You are responsible for ensuring that your mileage and Loyalty Points earned are properly credited. If you believe that mileage or Loyalty Points have been earned but not properly credited, you may be required to submit documentation or other proof satisfactory to American Airlines, which may include copies of ticket coupons, boarding passes, and receipts. Any claim for uncredited mileage or Loyalty Points must be received by American Airlines within 12 months after the mileage credit or Loyalty Point were earned.
• Certain airline tickets are not eligible for earning mileage credit or Loyalty Points, unless otherwise expressly stated. These include, without limitation, the following: all tickets issued as AAdvantage^® awards or other free ticket promotions including free or reduced rate tickets; companion tickets; charter flight tickets; travel agency/industry reduced rate tickets; infant tickets; items occupying a purchased seat; unpublished fare tickets, including consolidator fares, tickets issued as a result of a fare published inadvertently or by mistake, and tickets issued subject to special provisions.
• Unless otherwise stated, mileage credit and Loyalty Points cannot be earned for the same flight, hotel stay, or car rental in more than one of the following programs: the AAdvantage^® program or any other loyalty program in which American Airlines participates.
• Please refer to aa.com for details on how you can earn mileage credit and Loyalty Points with flights on American Airlines and specific eligible partner airlines. Eligible members may earn mileage credit and Loyalty Points on airline flights based on the following two approaches as determined by American Airlines in its sole discretion:
  • (1) Earnings based on ticket price:
    • Unless otherwise expressly stated by American Airlines, travel on any eligible purchased, published fare ticket will earn mileage credit and Loyalty Points based on the ticket price (base fare plus any mandatory carrier-imposed fees). Mileage credit and Loyalty Points will not be earned on government imposed taxes and fees or on optional airline fees such as, but not limited to, change fees, ticketing fees, or charges for products such as seats or checked baggage.
  • (2) Earnings based on distance flown:
    • Some partner marketed flights or types of fares such as those sold in conjunction with a vacation package or tickets where the actual fare is not disclosed like consolidator, bulk fare, or student tickets, will earn mileage credit and Loyalty Points based on a percentage of distance flown as determined by the booking code purchased. In the event the necessary ticket/fare details are not available at the time of posting of your mileage credit or Loyalty Points, you will earn mileage credit and Loyalty Points based on a percentage of the distance flown as determined by the booking code.
    • For any flights that earn mileage credit based on a percentage of distance flown, the distance is determined on the basis of nonstop distances between the airports where your flight originates and terminates. On connecting flights with different flight numbers, the distance of each segment will be used. On single-plane, through, or change of gauge flights, the nonstop origin-destination distance will be used and credit for a single qualifying segment will be given.
    • On American Airlines and other AAdvantage^® airline participants, you will receive AAdvantage^® mileage credit and Loyalty Points only for the class of service on which your fare is based when you are ticketed.

• Flight awards entitle you to one-way travel unless otherwise noted. Certain special awards require round-trip travel, and immigration laws in some locations require proof of onward or return travel. You may combine one-way awards to create a round trip or multi-city trip.
• For each one-way flight award redeemed for travel within the United States or Canada, a maximum of three segments are permitted. For all other destinations (including Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands), a maximum of four segments are permitted.
• AAdvantage^® flight awards may not be used in conjunction with any other promotion, coupon, discount, or special offer; and are void where prohibited by law. Members may not combine AAdvantage^® flight awards with upgrade awards. Flights to/from Cuba are only eligible for mileage redemption on American Airlines flights.
• Unless stated otherwise, upgrade awards are limited to a one-way trip for a maximum of three flight segments. No stopovers are allowed when using a one-way upgrade award. All upgrade awards are subject to capacity controls.
• Your flight awards are only valid for designated award destinations served at the time you use the ticket. In the event that American or an AAdvantage^® participating carrier ceases to serve a destination for which an award has been redeemed, American will redeposit the AAdvantage^® miles redeemed for that award into your account.
• Once ticketed, you will have one year from the date of ticketing to complete all travel unless otherwise noted.
• American Airlines assumes no responsibility for and is not liable for any unauthorized access by third parties to a member's account and/or account information, including but not limited to any unauthorized award transaction made from the account, except as provided under applicable laws. American assumes no obligation or duty to re-credit any unauthorized mileage withdrawal made by third parties; however, American reserves the right to review, in its sole discretion, requests for re-crediting unauthorized mileage withdrawals provided such request is made to American within three months of the unauthorized withdrawal. By accessing your AAdvantage^® account on one of our websites or apps, you agree to the terms and conditions on that website or app.

Legal information

• Subject to the rules prohibiting purchase, sale, and barter of AAdvantage^® mileage and travel awards, as well as the rules pertaining to any special AAdvantage^® offers, AAdvantage^® award tickets may be issued in any name designated by the AAdvantage^® member; however, the recipient of the award ticket must be identified at the time the award reservation is ticketed and cannot be identified at a later point in time, such as a charity to be named later, or conditioned upon the outcome of a future event, such as the winner of a contest or the onward sale of the ticket.
• American Airlines is not responsible for the cancellation of award reservations or changes to any award travel plans made by members.
• Award tickets have no cash value and are non-transferable and non-assignable.
• AAdvantage^® flight awards are subject to, and the passenger is responsible for, any applicable departure taxes, security fees, federal inspection fees, passenger facility charges and/or other taxes, fees, and surcharges assessed by appropriate authorities or partner carriers. In addition, there may be applicable non-refundable charges under the AAdvantage^® program, such as AAdvantage^® award charges or upgrade award co-pays.
• Awards for international travel are subject to appropriate governmental approvals.
• Tickets issued as AAdvantage^® flight awards are not applicable for travel on American Airlines cooperative codeshare service with other carriers. In addition, selected flights designated as AAdvantage^® airline participant flights, but operated by another carrier, may not be valid for award travel.
• Any upgrades to tickets using AAdvantage^® mileage can only be processed by American Airlines or third parties as designated by American Airlines.
• For travel awards, including partner airlines travel awards, your reservations must be made with, and your tickets issued by, an American Airlines reservations or ticketing location. All flight awards must be ticketed on American Airlines ticket stock.
• Flight awards on American Airlines and our airline participants may be subject to special limitations on seating availability. Seats for award travel may not be available on all flights. Reservations for flight awards will be accepted, and you will have a confirmed seat, as long as award seats are still available for the award you are using when you make your reservation. However, all accommodations are subject to availability at the time reservations are made.
• Travel on AAdvantage^® tickets will be subject to the tariffs, contract of carriage, ticket terms, and re-accommodation policies of the carrier on which travel is scheduled and may also be subject to the Warsaw Convention or the Montreal Convention. The American Airlines conditions of carriage are available on aa.com, from any American airport or Travel Center representative.
• Income tax liability on any AAdvantage^® Rewards and Benefits, if applicable, is the responsibility of the member.

Conditions of carriage

• Prior to ticketing, you may change your AAdvantage^® travel award reservations with no charge incurred. However, if you change your AAdvantage^® travel award reservation after the original ticketing, additional miles or fees may apply for each ticket. This fee is paid at the time your ticket is reissued and is subject to change without notice. Upgrade is subject to restrictions of fare purchased.
• AAdvantage^® mileage will be reinstated for wholly unused AAdvantage^® awards if the reservation is canceled before departure and if the ticket has not expired. Any additional fees that may apply for each award ticket are payable by credit card.
• Expired tickets will not be reinstated. If a portion of the miles used to claim an award ticket has expired, only those miles that have not expired will be reinstated. Partially used awards will not be reinstated.

• Complimentary upgrades, including the use of any complimentary upgrade benefit on AAdvantage^® award tickets, may be available for ConciergeKey^®, AAdvantage Executive Platinum^®, AAdvantage Platinum Pro^®, AAdvantage Platinum^® and AAdvantage Gold^® members as determined by American Airlines.
• AAdvantage^® Status members may receive a complimentary upgrade for one companion traveling on the same flight.
• Non-AAdvantage^® Status members may only upgrade when they are traveling as the companion to an AAdvantage^® Status member.
• Upgrades are valid on American Airlines marketed and operated flights offering a First or Business Class cabin within and between the 50 United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, the Bahamas, and Bermuda, as well as between the United States and Central America (Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua or Panama).
• Upgrades are valid from either Main Cabin or Premium Economy to the next class of service (Business or domestic First).
• Upgrade inventory is subject to seating limitations and capacity controls.
• Upgrade reservations may be confirmed - if upgrade seating is available – as early as 120 hours prior to the scheduled departure time of the flight for ConciergeKey^® members, 100 hours for AAdvantage Executive Platinum^® members, 72 hours for AAdvantage Platinum Pro^® members, 48 hours for AAdvantage Platinum^® members, and 24 hours for AAdvantage Gold^® members. If a confirmed upgrade is not available, you will automatically be added to the Airport Upgrade Standby List at check-in.
• For any flight on which you are a confirmed passenger, standby priority at the airport will be ConciergeKey^® members first, AAdvantage Executive Platinum^® members next, then AAdvantage Platinum Pro^® members, followed by AAdvantage Platinum^® and AAdvantage Gold^® members. In addition, your priority within each AAdvantage^® Status will also be determined based on the type of upgrade, your 12-month rolling Loyalty Points, booking class, and the date and time your upgrade was requested initially.
• AAdvantage^® mileage will accrue for the class of service on which your fare is based when you are ticketed, not the class of service flown.
• In the event of a cancellation or off-schedule operation, American Airlines will attempt to honor your upgrade on another of its flights. If you are accommodated on another carrier, it will be in the class of service purchased on your American Airlines ticket. If you received an upgrade on a flight and subsequently change your upgraded flight to a different flight, American Airlines will attempt to request the same upgrade for you on your new flight but cannot guarantee that any upgrade will be made.
• American Airlines reserves the right to eliminate or restrict the use of upgrades on certain flights and make other such changes at any time without notice. Use of upgrades to any future American Airlines destination is subject to approval.
