mid level with AA, you get upgrade seat almost 100% of time if you want it. First class check in domesticly. I never wait more than a couple of minutes to checkin. I do use the admirals club alot, discount price. Priority waitlist for standby and award upgrades. Platinum phone line has virtually no waiting. Is it worth it? It make business travel alot better. With this level of service I can't wait to see EXP service level as I am told that there is no comparison to PLT. Also Platinum service centers are another place to checkin if in DFW, MIA, or ORD. Travel with status or not? I want status.
