American Airlines AirPass PrePaid Travel

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 offers significant savings on fares (as well as guaranteed last seat availability) for flyers who know they will fly a lot but find themselves buying expensive last minute walk-up level fares.

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.

14 Jan 2016 jmappleby said: "...they take credit via wire transfer at $10k (Gold), $20k (Platinum), $30k (EP). Concierge Key is available for $50k individual spend or $75k team spend."
AirPass can be for different classes of service, and except for "PlanAAhead Economy", book into Y, J or F classes (and in 2016 will earn AA Elite Qualifying Miles at Y, J or F levels) and for Economy AirPass flyers offers "instant upgrade" fares that book into A for First or D for Business. These may not be available on all routes, however, and the legal routes may change during your contract.

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

Received a call from Airpass letting me know. I asked if the validity of my Airpass contract was extended to. It wasn't. She requested on my behalf, and it was within an hour, so I assume that was just an oversight. SWU's weren't extended past the original extension of 6/15/21, but I've asked for those to be extended to 9/15/21 to match up, and we'll see what they say.

So now it's a six month extension vs. the 12 months non-Airpass members got. Not sure it should be less for Airpass status, but I feel OK about this.
Thanks for posting this. Weird, I didn't get a call, still at the June expiry date... called AirPass customer service and they said don't know about another 3 month extension.

Boo... give it a few days. Frankly, it sounded like I was her first call. She didn't really have a lot of answers. What was your original contract end date?

Yeah exactly... happy to hear you got the 6-mo total extension though... and my contract was a renewal, not sure if that has something to do with how this works (don't know if you're renewal or new).

I was a newb, maybe that's part of it? I think you'll get it though, I mean you got the first three month extension...

Interesting. Will see if we automatically get another 3 month extension on top of our first 3
month extension, otherwise will contact them soon. Given AA doesn’t even serve my country of residence right now and keeps pushing back the restart date, I’d expect they’ll agree to extend.

Airpass Link? Looks old but they have a 787 graphic. Odd.

Can't be that old since they also have Platinum Pro as an option
