Effective today (June 9), AA has discontinued their last minute travel packages (powered by travelocity). http://aa.lastminute-packages.com/staticpage/index.htm Credit to be given to TULOKCICT for posting this on FT.
I'm not surprised by this move. They've been trying to push things to AA Vacations instead for some time. I often can find better deals there than travelocity/etc. Thanks for the post.
Well I like that I can drop a few miles through AAVacations though... it's not the best redemption option, but it's the only program that doesn't make you jump through hoops or use one of their CCs to use cash & miles for the whole package. Unless I missed something... I know Delta does this, but you have to use a Delta-branded card to pay the balance.
