Good evening!! Are AA plats upgraded only on full fare? Or are they also upgraded on discounted fares? Just for the sake of this question, assume I have no 500-mile upgrades. Thanks!! ~Efilon87
Both. You'll need the 500 milers unless you're an EXP. edit[if you pay Y, you can get the upgrade automatically if there is space, but would be much cheaper to get a discount fare and buy the stickers]
I edited the earlier post. If you buy Y you won't need the 500-mile upgrades. You can get the full scoop here.
As PLT, no 500-mile upgrades = no upgrades unless you use some other instrument like miles+copay or happen to get an LFBU offer at checkin.
PLT/GLDs on Y/B fares do not need to use 500 miles certs, as noted above. It's a comp upgrade, just like EXPs. They are eligible on any other fare class though.
Also, as a Plat would the change/cancel feel be waived for revenue tickets? Or is that an EXP benefit?
That's not an elite perk at all. It's a component of the fare, eg choice and choice plus or fully refundable fares. Sent from my iPhone using milepoint
