I can't say for certain, but all the recent customer-unfriendly changes I would not be surprised.

Oh yeah, I can't wait to use my whopping four SWUs to upgrade to premium economy. :rolleyes:

Are SWUs really going to be devalued this way?

Premium Economy will be a separate class of service. The expectation is one will use their SWU to upgrade Main Cabin to Premium Economy or Premium Economy to Business, as is done on BA, CX, QF et al, on those aircraft with Premium Economy.

I dont know is there anything else AA can do to once again upset its loyal (finding cheap fares to where I need to go ) customers :td:
If there's one thing the soothsayers can glean from the future of airline status, it's that pax who pay for Y are going to sit in Y more often. |
If PEY is priced as well as it is on CX and the hard product is as good as the pictures suggest, it will probably be worth paying for on transpac and other ULH routes. If I can easily upgrade it to J because fewer people are paying for that, so much the better.

Has anyone noticed any additional benefits this year of being an overachieving EXP?
I got an additional 2 SWUs automatically when I hit 150k EQM, and guess there will be an additional 2 SWUs at 200k when I get there in a few weeks, and so on. The one thing I would really appreciate is access to OW or Flagship lounges when flying on Transcon J or Domestic F. I'd obviously appreciate CK but so far that has remained elusive :-) Has anyone seen additional benefits for large numbers of EQMs? |

As a First or Business Class customer, you also have access if you’re traveling on non-stop, transcontinental flights marketed and operated by American Airlines between: New York (JFK) - Los Angeles (LAX) New York (JFK) - San Francisco (SFO) Los Angeles (LAX) - Miami (MIA) |

You certainly get access to AC when flying J or F transcon, and FL if in F on three-class a/c. I don't know what's misleading about the statement I quoted.

I have no interest in paying for Y...because I sure don't want to actually get stuck sitting in Y if my SWU doesn't clear! |

As to my point, it was specifically that I'd like access to OW or Flagship, i.e. premium lounges, on a J Transcon. I've got access to AC, but the Flagship lounges are much nicer. This is a perk I'd appreciate as a frequent flyer. Specifically, the JFK T2 J lounge is shut right now, and therefore only F pax get showers. There is another lounge near gate 42, which is a trek. |

Re-qualified last week 102KEQM/34EQS - the double EQMs for paid J/F made things pretty easy this year.
