I'm currently in BNE and expect to hit the requirements when I land at YVR. I gather I'll need to call AA to get my status upgrade reflected on the remaining flights. I think this should get me into the lounges.
I gather I'll also receive some upgrade vouchers on hitting platinum and I'm wondering whether I'll be able to use these at some point later in the trip.
I'd appreciate any tips you can give on how to get the most out of my new status.
Thanks,
Pete
You do not receive any "upgrade vouchers" (aka eVIPs) on hitting PLT. Only EXPs receive those. You will start earning stickers for domestic upgrades only. The AA Wiki
section on upgrades is quite informative.
