Anyway I wanted to say that I'm surprised that you had to come here to ask all these questions. Couldn't her mother having worked for AA give you the answers? After all it's her benefits that are in question.
I'm not asking to be rude, I'm just curious.
It's very difficult to non-rev anywhere these days and don't count on it being easier because it's a sunday morning. Those are just as bad as fridays.
BTW, it's 20% off published fares, not 10.
Take offense? That's exactly why it's true. The COLLECTIVE wisdom of hundreds of people, many of whom are AA employees is going to be greater than the knowledge of any SINGLE AA employee. If you can find ONE person that works at AA who can correctly answer EVERY question that's been asked and answered here then it would be a miracle.
It's not a comment on AA employees, quite the contrary, it's a compliment to the powers of a large group of experts over any one single person. Of course that's true. Lots of smart and experienced flyers and multiple AA employees know more between them than one competent and smart AA employee. Of course that's true. Sorry if it was taken as offensive, it was meant to be the opposite - acknowledging respect for the many people here, each of whom probably knows at least one or two things that very few others do.
