Question about upgrading w/ miles...

Sorry I'm kinda a rookie but, how many miles does it take to upgrade to 1st using AA miles on a Coach ticket?

You already got two responses directing you to the information. I hope you still don't expect someone to look it up for you!

5000,10000, 15000, or 30000

Which applies in your case can be found by reading the upgrade info at AA.COM and looking at your booking class. Of course, it also depends on whether you want to upgrade in one direction or both. It also depends on availibility. Of course, if you wait to long, you have to pay the "last minute" fee.

For most coach tickets, its 15K each way to ug from coach. Some fares only require 5K each way. Of course, upgrades are subject to availability. Also, depending on the date of your flight, there could be an add'l "expedite fee" to process the award.

However, most people on this board (myself included) will tell you that for DFW-LGA it really isn't worth it.
