With AA flight numbers, you earn as if you were flying AA metal, just as is true with every AA flight (unless flying an AA flight to Cuba).

It should be noted the jointly operated Admirals Club / JL Sakura zclub is in the main terminal, accessible via the inter island/ main terminal walkway. Admirals Club retained some of the same staff that worked the old Club, where the CO Presidents Club was until the COUA merger, iirc - Diane has been with AC over 25 years, Shari a long time as well).

BTW, the "Boeing 717-200" is what they finally named the McDonnell Douglas MD-95. Thanks for the update, dstan!

"In early 1994 the MD-95 re-emerged bearing far more similarity to the DC-9-30. Indeed the aircraft's specification in terms of weight, dimensions, and fuel capacity are almost identical. The major changes included a fuselage "shrink" back to 119 ft 4 in (36.37 m) length (same as the DC-9-30), and the reversion to the original DC-9 wing of 93 ft 5 in (28.47 m) span. At the time of the redefinition, McDonnell Douglas said that it expected the MD-95 to grow into a family of aircraft with the capability of increased range and seating capacity."

"...the BMW Rolls-Royce BR700 engine was selected to power the aircraft on February 23, 1994."

"McDonnell Douglas was planning for all MD-95 assembly to be undertaken in China..."

"After McDonnell Douglas merged with Boeing in August 1997,... the 717 name had actually been used within the company to refer to the KC-135 Stratotanker. 717 had also been used to promote an early design of the 720 to airlines before it was modified to meet market demands. A Boeing historian notes that the air force plane had the designation "717-100" and the commercial airliner had the designation "717-200". "

"The 156th and final 717 rolled off the assembly line in April 2006 for AirTran Airways, who were the 717's launch customer as well as its final customer. The final two Boeing 717 airplanes were delivered to customers AirTran and Midwest Airlines on May 23, 2006.[2] The 717 was the last commercial airplane produced at Boeing's Long Beach facility in Southern California."
