KembaraXtra – Travel Terms: AAdvantage
AAdvantage is the branded frequent-flyer programme (FFP) of American Airlines, described as the largest worldwide, established in 1981. Members earn miles through travel on American Airlines and through partner activity, and these miles may be exchanged for free travel. The entry emphasizes that although flights are the most common earning method, over 40% of miles earned each year come through thousands of partners, including 35 airline partners, over 30 hotel companies, and seven car rental companies, plus non-travel partners such as retail and financial services. Redemption options include flights on other airlines, hotel stays, car rentals, and holiday packages. Benefits include bonus miles for qualifying flights, automatic upgrades within the US, Canada, and Mexico, and preferred check-in and boarding, with awards also usable for membership in AA’s Admiral’s Club. Status level and benefits depend on how much flying was done in the previous calendar year. The entry notes that American Airlines belongs to the OneWorld alliance (listing Aer Lingus, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Iberia, LanChile, and Qantas) and that alliance arrangements apply for both earning and redeeming points, with the airline website provided
