AAdvantage Members Can Earn More Than 100,000 Bonus Miles For Trans-Atlantic Travel On American, British Airways And Iberia

FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Beginning today, members of the American Airlines AAdvantage^® program who travel round-trip between the United States or Canada and Europe can earn AAdvantage bonus miles through Jan. 31, 2013, for travel on First Class, Business Class or select Economy Class fares. The opportunities to rack up miles are even greater thanks to American's joint business relationship with British Airways and Iberia, which allows members to earn bonus miles when flying on any of the three carriers during the promotion.

After three round trips, members will earn a total of 100,000 bonus miles. Each additional round trip rewards members with 50,000 miles, and there is no limit to the number of bonus miles that can be earned during the promotion.

"This promotion offers AAdvantage members flexible, expanded mileage-earning opportunities on not one, but three global airlines," said Suzanne Rubin, President – AAdvantage Loyalty Program. "In addition to the earning opportunities, our trans-Atlantic customers can enjoy a more convenient travel experience with the improved flight schedules and coordinated service made possible by our relationship with British Airways and Iberia."

To further highlight the benefits of the joint business relationship between American Airlines, British Airways and Iberia, American is currently hosting a "Spotlight on London" feature at www.AA.com/MoreEurope. The site includes useful travel information about activities, events and popular attractions in London, a key international destination served by all three airlines.

AAdvantage members can participate in the bonus miles offer by registering prior to travel at www.AA.com/Offers using promotion code AAEUR. For more details, including full terms and conditions, please visit www.AA.com/Offers.
