Once you’ve decided where you want to go, you have to decide when you’re traveling, what airline you want to fly, how expensive tickets are when you want to fly, make sure that you take the proper time off of work and school, and everything in between. But if you’re in that second stage, figuring out which airline you want to fly with, here’s why you might want to consider American Airlines for your next trip!

American Airlines is now changing its frequent flyer program, AAdvantage, and making some perks exclusive to frequent fliers.

This new earnings year starts on March 1st, 2024. At this time, it will take 40,000 points to reach the lowest level of AAdvantage, Gold. The airline has also “added a new 15,000-point reward level allowing people to earn additional loyalty points toward reaching AAdvantage status.”

Members will also be able to rack up more miles by paying for a seat upgrade with cash and “will be able to redeem miles for upgrades on some of American’s airline partners.” Customers who reach Platinum Pro status will also be able to redeem Flagship First Dining Passes for sit-down meals in American business class lounges.

Perks that are currently available for all flyers, such as “same-day standby to switch to an earlier domestic flight for free, purchasing a one-day pass to an Admirals Club lounge, and putting a flight on hold for up to 24 hours before booking at no charge” will also now only be available to AAdvantage members beginning March 1st.
