American sucks. DCA needs to get delta up in here
1. Either shell out $45/500 miles (or more, depending on distance of flight), or 2. Where coach cabin is oversold, then upgrades based on status???
Delta= where swat is available in first, pull from upgrade list based on status, and don’t pay any miles/$ for upgrade.
Did I misunderstand the gate agent? How did I get upgraded without doing anything on a non-full flight on the way over here...? Color me confused
Gold / Plat — need 500 mile stickers that are earned every 4 for10,000 miles or buy for $45 each. If the flight is 900 miles you need two, 1100 miles is 3, etc. Only free upgrade is a flight <500 miles
Plat pro / executive Plat - free domestic and North America upgrades. International require SWU which you earn 4 at 100,000 miles and 2 for every 50k after. You can also use miles and cash to upgrade international
I actually prefer Americans system for upgrades. Makes it more valuable to actually request an upgrade. Though you’ll still see some lists that are 30+ people long
Appreciate the explanation C1
My conclusion: I’m avoiding AA as much as I possibly can
