Thank you all. Original thread updated to clarify things based on your responses.



Great explanation, and it actually highlights where most of the confusions remain... in the "qualifying" piece. The definition of a segment is helpful, and that a separate booking not being a requirement is a huge plus. But it's the "qualifying" piece that appears to have most of the gotchas.

A "bonus segment" doesn't seem to exist today, unless someone knows of one, I certainly don't, which is why I asked. You don't know bonus means? :) How about "fly one segment and get two if you book on F" -- i.e. a cabin bonus. But it seems none exist today. Maybe AA will have a promo one day for double miles and double segment earnings, or earn X segments after a certain credit card spend, who knows :D



Oh my only confidence is that there is zero confusion in the former scenario (the PNR has both flights and you miss the connection due to the first flight's delay) but there is potentially some confusion and/or changing policies on the latter. In any case, this seems moot for this thread since it doesn't affect the segment count at all as pointed out by VegasGambler.

OK, maybe this is a stupid question but where exactly can I see my number of segments (i.e. who in AA is tracking this?). Have literally spent over an hour on the phone and chat with AA Customer Service (who always transfer me to AAdvantage Customer Service after being unable to respond) yet nobody has been able to provide a reasonable answer. EQS used to be visible on the app last year but only LP this year...

Am I missing something?!

It's in the Promotions tab. Who would think to look for it there?

A segment is qualifying if it's either a revenue flight with your AAdvantage account attached (including partner flights) or if it's an AAdvantage award flight operated by AA. There may be one exception -- I'm not sure if partner segments that don't earn LP are qualifying; I suspect that they are not. Some confirmation would be nice here.

Anyone know if B6/AS flights (not AA codeshare) count as eligible segments ?

I booked a flight on BA ( not as a code share with AA). I received LP but no segment.

Does anyone know if code share flights with JL and QF count as flight segments?

Do award flights on BA metal and code, booked with AA miles, earn segments?
