Beginning Jan. 16, 2003, AAdvantage Platinum and AAdvantage Gold members can enjoy complimentary upgrades to the next class of service when traveling on a full-fare Economy Class ticket within North America (including the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, the Bahamas and Bermuda) and between the U.S. and Central America-a benefit currently available only to AAdvantage Executive Platinum members.
Simply request the upgrade for you and a companion through AA’s automated upgrade system when making your reservation. When your regular upgrade window opens (72 hours for AAdvantage Platinum; 24 hours for AAdvantage Gold), AA will automatically process your upgrade request if seating is available.
