New question. If I book two outbounds to the same location 24 hours apart on mileage for next year (can't know yet which day I can leave) will American flag this
and possibly cancel these tickets?

Thank you!

You just book it on the partner website or whatever site Google Flights takes you to (there will usually be options at the bottom). You don't have to book flights at aa.com in order to earn AA miles / loyalty points.

As always make sure to cross check your fare basis with the partner earning tables at aa.com to make sure whatever your booking is eligible to earn AA miles.

Quick question: if I get AA platinum status (say) tomorrow, can I switch my existing award tickets to MCE (assuming there are available seats)?

Yes, as long as your status shows up in the system then you are eligible for PLT benefits like MCE seating.

Keep in mind for existing reservations when your status changes you often need to call AA to have them refresh your status so that it shows up properly.

Sorry. I am using aa miles to book an award. Trying to use about 144k aa points to purchase a trip from bkk to SFO. But not finding any routes on the aa.com website. I may need to contact an award booking company to assist or anyone here knows how I can look at more available routes that I can use with my AA miles. That would be great. I'm open to all one world partners

China Southern is one of AA's non-oneworld redemption partners, so BKK-CAN-SFO might be a possibility -- if the flights are operating, and transit is permitted. But I'm not sure if AAdvantage award travel on China Southern can be booked on aa.com; you might have to call.

Another, more expensive option, would be to go west, via the Middle East or Europe. Two awards would be required; the upside is that you could stop over -- if desired -- where the first award ends, and the second begins. You would use the multi-city award-booking engine on aa.com to investigate this.

I see. Do you have a particular date or set of dates?

Hello! Does anyone know if I have a flight credit with AA and I book a flight for less than the amount of the flight credit, does AA issue *another* flight credit for the difference? Or is an evoucher or trip credit issued? I have read conflicting info. Thanks!

You get a trip credit.

If it's an "impossible" booking, very likely. Otherwise it shouldn't be a problem.

Not sure that's true yet.

May 29th and coming back to BKK on July 16th From SFO. Dates can be flexbile but this is the ideal date.

Appreciate that. I will have to call AA to see if this is possible. I appreciate the response and follow up.

The answer is "yes" (as expected) - The priority lane is carved out next to the entry for standard TSA screening (opposite side of precheck).

I'm flying from DFW to MIA and will arrive in MIA around 11pm. My connecting flight is the next day at 10am. Do I need to retrieve my checked bags in MIA or do they keep them until the next morning flight?
