The American Airlines flight discount is redeemable toward the purchase of the base air fare and directly associated taxes, fees and charges that are collected as part of the fare calculation. Flight Discounts may not be used for products and/or services that are sold separately, such as upgrades; Admirals Club membership enrollments or One-Day Passes; baggage fees; pet fees; unaccompanied minor fees; oxygen fees; ticketing fees for transactions processed through American Airlines Reservations; taxes, fees or charges payable in connection with AAdvantage® award travel; AmericanAirlines Vacations(SM) or non-flight products and/or services sold by American Airlines.
Man, I know the airlines have all been experimenting with unbundling fares and I've come to accept it for things like baggage fees, extra legroom, etc., but charging for oxygen could be a new low. I wonder if this is on a 'per breath' basis, or more of an 'all you can breathe'?
