Thanks! Can't hurt to register, even if you mostly (or exclusively) fly deep-discount Y. Occasionally, such as when you do last-minute standby, the GAs make a mistake and rebook you into full-fare Y (or do it for the sake of convenience, instead of taking the time to research your original booking class).

It is a match of a Delta promo. Has nothing to do with B6 or VX.

I received the same notice just a few minutes ago. It looks like they are targeting Full Fare passengers now. Nothing wrong with that, but makes me want to know what percentage of passengers on these routes buy these fare buckets? I know nothing about it, but would guess less than 25% ??

Regardless, I have never purchased any tickets in these fare buckets on any airline; the exception being when I did a government assignment and they booked me in a government "Y" code.

If you book one of these, but your final destination isn't SFO or LAX, I wonder if it will still work?

I can see plenty of ways to take advantage of this. Especially considering that I've been receiving 1.5 EQP's every time I've been upgraded this year. do a same day stanbye and have the flight rebooked in Y...get the bonus miles...sounds perfect to me.

Considering the full fare LHR-LAX is less than JFK-LAX, it's an important question.... Unfortunately I can't justify the price either way!

You have the best luck on AA! Sounds like you'll be EXP in no time with all these extra EQPs!

I have very different experience this year: out of 6 segments booked in T (BA miles), all posted in T even I used standby 5 times out of 6. I just started to think their computers and GAs became perfect

Hey, flying the A300 on JFK-SDQ when I was growing up was hard enough. I call it karma

The big one was when my LAX-SFO got cancelled. I was then rebooked LAX-SFO-MIA-JFK in Full Y. Definitely AA's finest work for me so far.

Anyone who books J and flies the following also eligible to get the 50,000 miles?

JFK-LAX-NRT connecting to another Asian off-line city?

Example
JFK-AA-LAX-AA-NRT-JL-TPE

I would say if you add your AAdvantage number to the reservation and you fly a JFK-LAX or JFK-SFO segment, you should get the bonus miles regardless of where your final destination is!
