Just to say.. I've had more than one AAgent over the years try to count the land miles towards the total so don't be surprised. I'm thinking the land might have counted in the old rules. Anyway... be patient and let 'em figure it out, but don't accept their higher total countable trip miles. Probably ticketing would catch it anyway.

When AA and US join, they are.. well.. joined. US Air will go bye-bye and all the pretty planes will have the same colors and all the staff will wear AA clothing. If that happens on 3/31 then all the AA and Explorer qualified flights will be eligible to book.
