We're Making Changes to the Aadvantage Program The new award mile structure starts August 1 We’re making changes to the AAdvantage program In November 2015, we announced that we are making changes to the American Airlines AAdvantage® program so it’s rewarding for all members while giving our best customers access to our most exclusive benefits. Here’s what’s coming next: Earning award miles As we adjust to the competitive landscape, beginning August 1, 2016, travelers will earn miles based on how much they spend with us. Elite members will earn at even higher rates. Elite status level Miles earned per USD spent† AAdvantage® member 5 Gold 7 (40% bonus) Platinum 8 (60% bonus) Executive Platinum 11 (120% bonus) † base fare plus carrier-imposed fees, excluding any government-imposed taxes and fees How award miles will be calculated » Elite status in 2017 and beyond On January 1, 2017, we’ll add a new elite status level and adjust qualification requirements. We’ll also make updates to upgrades later in 2017. Introducing AAdvantage® Platinum Pro We’re excited to introduce an additional elite level, AAdvantage® Platinum Pro. Members can qualify for Platinum Pro starting in 2017. Learn more about Platinum Pro » Elite Qualifying Dollars (EQDs) Starting January 1, we’ll add Elite Qualifying Dollars (EQDs) to our elite-qualification requirements. Travelers will earn 1 EQD for every U.S. dollar spent on eligible flights (base fare plus carrier-imposed fees, excluding any government-imposed taxes and fees). Members can earn elite status by reaching the EQD threshold, and either the Elite Qualifying Mile (EQM) or Elite Qualifying Segment (EQS) threshold. Earning elite status » Upgrades Later in 2017, we’ll make changes to upgrade windows and prioritization. Upgrade priority will be based on a 12- month rolling EQD total, sorted by elite status level. Learn more about what’s changing with upgrades » We'll continue to keep you updated as we implement these changes. Thank you for your business.

  • Poverty Pay and Food Stamps at American Airlines Survey of Passenger Service Agents at American-Owned Envoy Air Reveals Reliance on Public Assistance Programs
    Poverty Pay and Food Stamps at American Airlines Survey of passenger service agents at American-owned Envoy Air reveals reliance on public assistance programs Poverty Pay and Food Stamps at American Airlines Survey of passenger service agents at American-owned Envoy Air reveals reliance on public assistance programs Executive summary Envoy Air is a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Airlines, the largest passenger airline in the United States. Envoy employs more than 3,800 passenger service agents whose responsibilities range from guiding planes on the tarmac to de-escalating tense situations among customers. Envoy agents work at some of the nation’s biggest and busiest airports as well as smaller regional airports that connect flyers to travel destinations around the country. Wages for Envoy agents are among the lowest in the airline industry and start as low as $9.48 an hour. Many agents say they must rely on public assistance programs because of the low pay. This report explores the use of public assistance and the effects of low wages among Envoy passenger service agents, drawing on data from a survey of 900 employees across the country, as well as first-hand accounts of their experiences. The online survey was conducted by the agents’ union, the Communications Workers of America (CWA). Approximately one quarter of all Envoy agents participated. The survey’s major findings include: » Twenty-seven percent of survey participants reported relying on public assistance to meet the needs of their household » Food stamps were reported as the most commonly- used type of public assistance (20 percent of all survey participants) The Communications Workers of America (CWA) represents 700,000 » Among agents not receiving public assistance, 82 percent workers in private and public sector of respondents said they rely on help from family and employment in the United States, friends, often in the form of financial assistance, childcare Canada and Puerto Rico.

  • Loyalty Programs: the Vital Safety Feature for Airlines to Survive COVID-19
    The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available on Emerald Insight at: https://www.emerald.com/insight/2516-8142.htm Airline loyalty Loyalty programs: the vital programs safety feature for airlines to survive COVID-19 Manuel E. Pascual Chaplin School of Hospitality and Tourism, Florida International University, Miami, Florida, USA, and Received 9 March 2021 Revised 13 April 2021 Lisa Nicole Cain Accepted 14 April 2021 Hospitality and Tourism Management, Florida International University Biscayne Bay Campus, North Miami, Florida, USA Abstract Purpose – The airline industry has been severely impacted by COVID-19 due to widespread travel restrictions. Its current response is crucial to ensure continued operations after the global pandemic is resolved. One resource the airlines are leveraging is loyalty programs. This study aims to examine the viability of leveraging loyalty programs in times of crisis. Design/methodology/approach – This study employs a case study methodology to examine how one company, American Airlines, has used its loyalty program to survive a pandemic and alleviate the financial costs associated with limited and restricted travel. Findings – American Airlines’ AAdvantage loyalty program structure may be used as a benchmark to understand how airlines can anchor their loyalty base to reinvigorate travel interest and use these programs as safeguards in critical instances that may arise in the future. Research limitations/implications – The case was bound by the fact that the pandemic was still a threat during the time of analysis. The findings of this case study go beyond the airline industry and may inform other hospitality and tourism organizations on the benefits of loyalty programs in times of financial distress.
