Premier Executive members and above as well as Star Alliance members are allowed a third piece of luggage or additional weight. I'm afraind your being a Premier won't allow this perk for you.

If I want to upgrade from JFK - LAX,the will need 5 of the 500 mile upgrade
certificates?
The certificate is only good for domestic or also international ?
Thank you

AirDude I'm so sorry I have mislead you.
As you may notice per my answer I was under the impression this question came from another forUAm...
I did correct the answer but, apparently you picked the former one, prior to my posting the correction.
With AAdvantage you can upgrade flights in the US, Central America and the Caribbean...
Your given example JFK-LAX does require 5 e-500 mile certificates - though AA gracefully offers 50 mile, that is a 2550 mile flight would still require the same 5 certificates.
If you have any additional doubts do ask - I'll promise to pay attention where I'm posting.
