I did great buying the lifetime when I did, but I missed Microsoft in '86. Told my spoiled kids they have no hope of being renewed. I bought 'em for my family before the price went out of sight. They sell 2 and 5 year ones at twice the price, per mile, that I paid.
They even sold a lifetime, unlimited product for a million dollars-you could travel the airline for life, with a companion, all year, in F, anywhere. Needless to say, I paid over 6 figures for the deal, but believe I have recouped it. My purchase was for 55,000 yearly miles for lifetime (at the time, I figured I'd ust need 50,000 to make Platinum, the highest level available then). One of the most beneficial features is a new WiFi subscription plan that will start on November 10th. These changes will offer customers more flexibility when it comes to flying with American. I use it a lot on transcon P class.ĪAirpass was (and still is) fantastic for those who bought lifetime versions 7-10 yrs ago. American Airlines is rolling out some new features for its inflight WiFi offerings, entertainment, and the AirPass program. Thus, their marketing model breaks down on these runs.įor Premium class on JFK-LAX, where the price is over $2,000, AAirpass is much cheaper. On certain long-haul routes like HNL-ORD, it is actually more expensive in AAirpass miles than if you walked up and bought an F ticket. Cathay Pacific really makes you take some forced overnights in Hong Kong, for example, as many of they routings do not accomodate country to country same day transits without a stop-over in the airline's major hub (Hong Kong for Cathay Pacific Kuala Lumpor for Malaysian Airlines). Pre-paid travel on these routes is cheaper for them. The biggest disadvantage can be the routing and scheduling. There are a lot of other details, but AA priced the product strategically, mostly to wealthy corporations, looking at the eyes of travelers who use the high-frequency, high-fare routes like LGA-ORD. Thus, it's classes of service are basically Y, C, and F. It involves totally full-fare travel, in any class. AAirpass is an AA product, largely designed for businesses whose employees travel frequently on business. Afang is right, with some modification z(historic, mostly).
