AA.COM FAQ states:
Q: What does "Premium Service" mean?
A: Premium Service is offered in the First Class cabin of three class configured aircraft on Trans Continental or International flights. Additional in-flight amenities are provided for customers traveling in this cabin. This service may require the use of additional mileage.
What in-flight ammenities are they referring to? How much additional mileage is required. Are they optional or must they be purchased?
Is this a purchased ticket or are you using miles for an award ticket? What this is refering to is mileage award tickets. A First Class award will require more miles to claim on a flight offering 3 classes of service (First, Business, and Economy) than on a similar flight offering 2 classes of service (First and Economy). They are just explaining that here and offering WHY more miles are required.
