The newly supported classes are:

O - First - Award/Upgrades, also complimentary Preferred upgrades into First

Glad to see this approach instead of Delta's

Great news and good approach by AA! They are clearly trying to distinguish themselves from UA and DL.

So, to be clear I is the bucket if trying to cash in miles for a biz ticket (whether buying ticket with miles or upgrading using miles). J is ONLY for chairmains certs?

Also, does J apply for certificate upgrades on flights to/from Hawaii?

If I am trying to upgrade using miles which class would I want to be looking at for availability?

Are we sure I is the low mileage envoy award? I thought the I bucket was UA. I know J is correct for the Envoy cert upgrade but I also thought it doubled as the envoy mileage award too?

Yes, J is for CP upgrade certs for aircraft with old Envoy (Business) cabin TATL/South America. The domestic O applies to/from Hawaii routes.

I class.

Yes, as presently configured. The medium and high band US metal awards come out of the C bucket.

I think it is O but not 100% sure. Saw some O availability when looking at PHX-HNL for the next couple of weeks.
