AAdvantage Executive Platinum®, AAdvantage Platinum®, or AAdvantage Gold® members will earn a minimum of 500 miles on eligible fare tickets. Children's fares do not accrue AAdvantage miles. AAdvantage members with an address in Israel earn mileage between Tel Aviv and Europe only when connecting to a transatlantic flight on American Airlines.
