Also be aware that you would be placed to stand-by and get one of the remaining available seats. For example, you might be downgraded from an aisle Main Cabin Extra seat to a regular middle seat.

Family member has a G fare booked. Is that basic economy or can I use a SWU on that?

Still some quirks vs United but I like it so far |

There’s no known trigger. If seats are available at check-in, AA will try to sell them. Sometimes at a discount, sometimes at the published price, and sometimes at a crazy mark-up.
If you want to upgrade an entire itinerary, you can always attempt that in the Manage Booking section at AA or in the app. I did get an offer to upgrade the itinerary via the app at 2 weeks out for the full price of a paid ticket which I passed on. |
Hi!
Firstly, happy holidays to everyone! I was looking to book a flight in 2020 for a couple from BUF to LHR/LGW using AA miles, but due to a limited amount of miles (c. 70k), it's returning lots with 2 stops when I'm only really looking to stop once. Is there a better search tool than the AA function as this has fairly limited functionality? Thanks! |
I'm another one of the (probably hated) Hyatt Globalists who was gifted EXP status + 4 SWUs for 2020.
I don't even know where to start looking to find the best uses for the status. I've never set foot on AA, but now that I can more easily travel to PHL, I had already thought about using it instead of EWR. I do plan on a trip to Hawaii in the late spring/early summer and will need to break the trip into 2 parts with an overnight in either LAX or SFO. We need to arrive in HNL before 3pm and from the east coast, it's pretty much impossible. Which threads might I read through to get me going with this? I've been a UA flier for so long I don't have a clue about other programs. FWIW - I have about 70k miles in my account - all gleaned from shopping when AA had one of the best portals around. I figured I would collect and eventually they would come in handy. Thank you. |

The problem is that award space can be tight to very tight depending on what class and when you're looking, especially for 2 people. So sAAver awards might have 2 stops, but any good routings with 1 stop will be AAnytime. When are your travel dates, and economy or business class? Take a look at the below thread for more nuances of securing AA awards... https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/amer...ssistance.html |

EXP Snacks and Alcoholic beverage in Main Cabin
One of the perks advertised for EXPs is they are entitled to a free snack and alcoholic beverage even when traveling Main Cabin.
i am a first time EXP and was traveling BE but was not offered. Is it something I have to ask for or are they supposed to offer? |
