Has anyone ever credited one of the locally purchased discounted flights to AA and earned anything on it? Or at least is there a way to correlate to a booking class? Or worst case, does upgrading to J class get you a “J” reservation?
Thanks!
Yes, absolutely you can earn AA miles on domestic JAL flights. My wife and I have done it several times. When booking the flight, there is a place to choose the Frequent Flying program (AA in this case) and put in your AAdvantage number. It takes around 4 to 5 days for the miles to show up after completing your flight. Here is what one mileage posting looks like in your AA wallet...
