Oh - and the 25% mileage bonus. and using BC checkin, useful on BA long-hauls from LHR T4 :-) Is it? BA doesn't have a OW Ruby status so there's conflitcing reports whether BA recoqnizes AA Gold (OW Ruby) |

Does AA give priority seating to Gold members (such as exit rows, and seats toward the front)? Alaska and UA do that for their frequent flyers. Yes. Gold and up can pre-reserve those seats; they're open to anyone once it's under airport control. -- Nate Edel http://www.cubiclehermit.com/ "I do have a cause, though. It is Obscenity.

But what is AA Gold good for? Priority boarding Upgrades in advance (if not yet Gold, you can only upgrade on full fare tickets- I believe) 25 percent mileage bonus Elite seating In 2003, I got suckered by AA into taking its "fast track" offer (something like a few flights within 3 months) to be AA Platinum. I found the AA Platinum to be completely useless, and never flown it since I became Platinum. :-) Traded those few AA miles for Hilton points. Why useless? You get 100 percent bonus miles Lounge use for "international" Priority boarding (ahead of Gold) Upgrades 72 hours in advance Priority phone Other "special" offers |

Gold and up can pre-reserve those seats; they're open to anyone once it's under airport control. These seats include a one seat class upgrade if flying on an aircraft that was built for one more seat class than is being sold on that aircraft. For example, this would include a 3 class plane that only has 2 classes for sale. This would generally happen domestically on widebody. I also believes this is true of the flights to places like Shannon where only economy class is sold on a plane with 2 seating classes. |

These seats include a one seat class upgrade if flying on an aircraft that was built for one more seat class than is being sold on that aircraft. That's an excellent point; it's gotten a lot less frequent to find the "3 class aircraft sold as 2 classes" on the routes I fly. Part of that was converting a fair number of 767s down to 2-classes, but that may also just be the routes I fly. Used to be that you could pretty dependably get one of those by flying LAX-EWR rather than LAX-JFK. For example, this would include a 3 class plane that only has 2 classes for sale. This would generally happen domestically on widebody. I also believes this is true of the flights to places like Shannon where only economy class is sold on a plane with 2 seating classes. Interesting. Yeah, it looks like those are 2-class sold as 1. I'm a bit amazed that they don't sell the domestic FC section as business, but hey, weireder things have happened. I guess one other case where they could have 2 classes sold as 1 would be if they ever substituted AA metal for an American Eagle RJ flight. -- Nate Edel http://www.cubiclehermit.com/ "I do have a cause, though.
