Yep, it depends on your primary airport. My closest is PIA(free parking!once I was from the seat of my car to seat of plane in less than 10 minutes). That said, ORD is AS and taking Amtrak(8 trains daily from my little 'Burg)to Chicago is easily done for AS or better AA pricing. BYW, Amtrak Guest Rewards/Chase)is a fine product-I am sitting on about $4K in redeemable AGR right now-get your little bedroom, meals incl, for two. Not for everybody but I love Amtrak, done all of US after Cardinal into DC for Inauguration.
So, re AS/BOA: ORD-HNL, they are consistently offering lowest fares including FC(O/W recently at about $800).( It came to me that once in HNL I could do a HNL-NRT which routes LAX, pick up 16K AA EQM but price points changed.) Throw in the companion fare which you get yearly-can't beat it you can easily get to an AS city.
