Prepaid, Unrestricted Air Travel at a Fixed Rate
As an AirPass member, you won’t have to search for fares or pay extra for last-minute trips. Your airfare is pre-paid at a fixed rate and your account is ready when you need to travel to any of the more than 350 destinations in the combined American Airlines and US Airways network.

AirPass, depending on level of purchase, includes status and may include up to Executive Platinum status and Admirals Club membership, or even Concierge Key, which includes both.
AirPass members get a courtesy drink and a snack if they're traveling in Coach, much as Executive Platinums do; unlike Executive Platinums, their traveling companion does also.

The best deal seems to be the -UP fares, where you pay the standard economy, but book a confirmed seat into business

I'm aware that AirPass is valid on for travel on flights marketed and operated by American Airlines (no codeshares).
What happens in IRROPS: can an AirPass ticket then be rebooked on to a different carrier? (think of an example of a cancelled international flight where that's leading to a 24 hour delay unless they put you on a different carrier)

My wife is going to be traveling from CLT to DFW as much as she can this next year to visit her father. If she paid the 10K Gold airpass, how many weekend trips can she take on average? And when you run out of the 10K, you just buy more or does the second 10K actually bump you to the next level?
Example: Basic Econony is already $477 1/4 - 1/6 almost a month in advance. I know she would want to do this last minute.

fares between two non-North American regions
I’m having a surprisingly difficult time getting a straight answer out of AirPass: How are fares between two non-North American regions determined? e.g. what usage rate is applied to a single ticket that goes from South America to Asia?
Any other AirPass holders out there have experience with this?
thanks,
BP

The answer in the end was essentially: Every AirPass itinerary must begin or end in North America. So, one would have to book two separate itineraries.

FYI: I hear the business side of AA is trying to kill the program (or limit it to true corporations only that have multiple travelers) while the marketing side of AA is trying to push the program with a new partnership with American Express as you now can use credit cards to fund the contract. Typical AA...Lets enhance the premium flying experience but slash the menu, service and shrink the bathroom of new planes to the size of a capsule.

The calendar year is irrelevant. Initial "buy-in" contract is one year from date they receive the funds. You can opt for a 1 year extension less a small discount...I believe its around a few percentage points of remaining balance or some multiplier of months left times $50 or so dollars. Or you can sign a new contract co-terminus with your existing at a minimum of $10K in which case any remaining balance rolls to the new contract. My take is buying Airpass these days only makes sense if you typically would spend the same amount with AA in premium cabin travel with in a year. Chasing AA Status with Airpass is pointless since the value of AA status has been so depreciated. If your chasing status do the math carefully and buy a couple long haul J or F tickets and you will save $$$.
