On net I think the details of how American AAdvantage 2015 plans to combine with US Airways Dividend Miles in the second quarter of 2015 is the best possible outcome we could reasonably have expected. I did expect that the combined program would have 4 elite tiers (as US Airways has today, and as both […]
The post Who Wins — and Who Loses — With the American-US Airways Mileage Program Integration That’s Just Been Announced? appeared first on View from the Wing.
Yesterday American announced the details of their 2015 AAdvantage program. This is the next step of the US Airways and American Airlines integration, whereby next year they'll be merging the Dividend Miles program into the AAdvantage program.

Late last month a Singapore Airlines Suites Class trip report went viral, whereby a guy redeemed miles to fly from Singapore to Frankfurt to New York, which the guy claimed retailed for $23,000.
It's amazing how viral the trip report went, and equally amazing how few people grasp the concept of miles. I seem to mostly hang around people that understand at least something about miles, but shortly after that report was published I heard from so many acquaintances I hadn't spoken to in a long time, and they all just didn't seem to "get it."
After that trip report went viral I wrote a post outlining just how easily you can earn enough miles to redeem for Singapore Airlines Suites Class.
In trying to keep the momentum going, it seems like premium cabin "wowzers look at this" style reviews have been more mainstream lately.

I receive compensation for many links on this blog. I do not write about all credit cards that are available — instead focusing on miles, points, and cash back (and currencies that can be converted into the same). Back in March I spoke with David Rabkin, American Express Senior Vice President of consumer lending, about […]
