Do you know how American Advantage works?

[Amy10223]

I'm talking about flying benefits you get when you fly AA. You get miles and points for flying on AA, and then use those miles to travel again. I would get on the phone to speak to a representative, but they keep you on hold for along time, so I thought I would ask here. If I have 8500 miles collected, how can I use them for another trip?

American Airlines' AAdvantage program lets you earn miles every time you fly with them or their partners. These miles can be redeemed for flights, upgrades, or even hotel stays. With 8,500 miles, you might be able to get a short domestic flight within the U. S. through their MileSAAver awards, depending on availability. Check the AA website or app for specific destinations and dates that fit your mileage. You can use the “Redeem Miles” feature to see the best options for your accumulated miles. Safe travels! 🚀

I have no clue. I have not been on a plane since before 9/11 happened and are not likely fo be on one again.

Are you that afraid to travel on a plane? I am surprised that you believe 9/11 happened.

I am not afraid but the long lines and cavity searches that we are subjected to just turned me off completely. I won;t even pick anyone up at the airport.

[Amy10223]

Those searches are random, and I have only been searched once, outside the arms and legs with a baton looking thing. The long lines go quick with the flights going to other places. I guess going on planes isn't for everyone, right? I know my cousin won't go on a cruise. He hates being on water.

I travelled by air a lot when I was younger. It really was not much different than taking the subway. Not so much today.

tell them to flip off the phone so the calls are redirected to a foreign call center.
