Redeeming American AAdvantage miles for travel on El Al
While the Middle East is one of Oneworld’s stronger focus areas, service to Israel tends to be more scarce, especially in the premium cabins.

AAdvantage Eliminates International Gateway City Stopovers and Explorer Awards
Today has been an AAwful today with multiple devaluations from US Airways and American. With what I’ve read on the blogosphere, they’re “bundling” this devaluation with other changes to checked bags and elite status changes, but these don’t concern me for the most part.

No Fuel Surcharges with Qatar Awards with AA!
So this morning I just posted about Qatar Airways award space with American miles. I mentioned that the award have around $200 in fuel surcharges for a one-way flight from Chicago to Doha. Well I can confirm that AA should not be charging fuel surcharges on these flights. I tweeted @AmericanAir, and we had a conversation: They’ve…

This afternoon I just saw on twitter (and follow me if you haven’t) that you can now redeem AAdvantage miles on all eligible LAN Colombia and TAM Airlines flights.
