What are AA 🔹Platinum / PLT Benefits? Are they worth it? (master thd)
Note that the upgrade model for Platinum on AA isn't the same as on Delta.
- Flights 500 miles or less: Unlimited, auto-requested complimentary upgrades*
- Flights over 500 miles: Use earned or purchased 500-mile upgrades*

Lots of good information in the forum, including this:

I would personally be reluctant to trade top dog on DL for upgrades for very much middle of the pack on AA (Gold, Platinum, Platinum Pro, EXP), and having to BURN 500 mile upgrades for any flight of significant length, unless DL was just a complete dumpster fire. YMMV (perhaps it is a dumpster fire for you). The grass isn't always greener.
