*Valid for travel on American Airlines, US Airways and other eligible partners
With American, travellers can earn elite status faster than any other U.S. airline when they purchase and fly on a premium ticket.
No need for travellers to register, they just need to fly on a purchased First or Business Class ticket on American, US Airways or eligible partner flights marketed by American or US Airways during the promotional period, and the additional elite‑qualifying points will be automatically added to their account.
Plus, while your travellers are earning more elite-qualifying points for flying in First or Business Class, they can also earn additional award miles through December 31, 2015 with our previously announced 2015 AAdvantage bonus miles promotion.
Fleet updates
Dreamliner goes to Shanghai and Tokyo Travellers between DFW and Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) and ORD and Tokyo Narita International (NRT) will experience the state‑of‑the‑art Boeing 787 Dreamliner when we launch the aircraft on these routes on June 26 and August 18, respectively. The aircraft will make its international debut June 2 between DFW and Beijing Capital International (PEK) and will start flying between DFW and Buenos Aires Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE) on June 4.
