It’s back up to $230. I’m about 9 days out. That’s a fast flight going back hnd lax and I’ll be knocked out asleep in the first row of the main cabin.

That's awesome.

I also suggest living like there's no economy class.

Personally, there is zero chance I would let that offer go even if it is at $230 now. It's a 9-hour flight, so clearly, we have different definitions of "fast."

Then why ask? The clear answer for most of FT is yes.

Today in the app I was offered Y to J for JFK-MXP for only $350! Bought it immediately. Y to PE was $307. Never seen a TATL J offer so low and barely above PE price. Flight is ~2.5 weeks out. The return leg was asking for a more normal ~$1,200 for PE and ~$1,600 for J, so must have got lucky on the outbound.

Hello,

5th trip now I get an email saying "Name", Purchase an upgrade for your flight to XYZ. I get instant push notifications on my gmail, i click on it and it asks for last name to find trip and nothing. No upgrade, try it several times nothing. Try the American App, nothing....
All this happened after I became Gold. Before that I'd always see the offer.
Are the offers now that popular that they are gone in 0.1seconds, or is something broken?

For the offer... is it generally one way or at least with all AA segments? For example, LAX - JFK - MXP (AA flights), would the offer shows up for JFK - MXP (AA) - NCE (IB)?

Trying to see if I would have an upgrade offer for SGN - HND (JL) - LAX (AA)- PHX (AA). I was wondering if the JL segment preventing the offer to show up.

On a JFK-DOH flight next month, I was offered $175 to PE or $580 to Business. I accepted that Business upgrade immediately. I turned down the $190 upgrade offer on the DCA-JFK leg.

Having partner flights in the itinerary shouldn't prevent the upgrade offers from appearing (presuming it's an AA-issued 001 stock ticket). But the offers will only apply to the AA operated flights, and will be on an individual segment basis. (So e.g. HND-LAX and LAX-PHX separately).

Wow. That's one of the best values-per-mile I've seen. 👍🏼
