Halfway to Executive Platinum
One of the main tipping factors for my decision to do OneWorldMegaDo was the ability to challenge for AA Executive Platinum from my status with United/Continental. I sent an email with a screenshot of my Continental Platinum credentials on Sunday … Continue reading
OneWorld MegaDo

To get back from Las Vegas, I booked a ticket with American for LAS-LAX-JFK. While it seems odd to fly west to go east, the fare rule I would have used to get back to JFK on a direct flight … Continue reading

There are a few discount codes for travel on American Airlines floating around if you’re touching an eligible city. (Hat tip: View from the Wing) The 10% off code, 5591AG, is good for travel to AMA, AVP, BMI, BNA, BOS, … Continue reading
American Airlines Elite Rewards
American announced end-of-year bonuses for its elite members who satisfy certain elite qualifying point requirements who register by December 15th. For Platinum and Executive Platinum members, it is possible to gift Gold to another AAdvantage member. The qualification cutoffs are … Continue reading
