American Airlines Ends Mileage Upgrade Awards August 12, Switches to Costly Delta-Style ‘Instant Upgrades’ That Slash Value Of Miles
Jun

2025
American Airlines is eliminating their mileage upgrade award chart August 12th. They’re replacing it with ‘instant upgrades’ using cash or miles. You’ll be charged a variable amount for upgrades, and you pay either the asking amount in money or the ‘equivalent’ in miles which will mean a low value per mile (almost certainly something around 1 cent per mile or a little higher or lower). This copies Delta Air Lines, and represents a significant hit to the value of miles for upgrades.

This is terrible customer service. The family could have made the flight, despite their American Airlines delay. They rushed to the gate, found the flight still boarding, and were relieved – only to have that taken away from them because (1) their seats had already been given away and (2) gate agents wouldn’t take the time to help them understand what happened.

American Airlines Paid My Baby $150 To Fly First Class To Sydney When His Video Screen Didn’t Work—And I Only Paid $58 For His Ticket

My first thought was, a trip credit for a lap infant, I guess I need to buy him a seat next time! Of course I can use his travel credit for my own travels – with his permission, of course! 15,000 points would have felt light, but 45,000 points plus $150 seems pretty good. Perhaps I should be complaining more often.

American Airlines flight attendants are selling their seniority again. The company is cracking down on them for it, and the union isn’t protecting the cabin crew.
Flight attendants get to ‘bid’ on trips based on seniority, choosing their schedules which are most convenient to them and which take them to the best destinations. That’s a perk that has real value. Want to fly to Rome? You’d better be super-senior… or be willing to pay someone who is to trade their trip with you.
