American Airlines Sets the Table for Spring and Summer European Travel From Boston

Adds a Third Daily Nonstop Flight to London, Plus Seasonal Service to Paris; Presents AAdvantage Mileage Offers Plus Great Fares

BOSTON, May 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- What a time to fly to London or Paris on American Airlines! Beginning May 1, American, a founding member of the oneworld® Alliance, is adding a third daily nonstop flight to London from Logan Airport, plus the resumption of its seasonal service to Paris.

And that’s not all - a 25,000 to 50,000 AAdvantage bonus mile offer is available, plus an AAdvantage double elite-status qualifying miles offer.

    --  Until June 30, AAdvantage members who complete round-trip travel
        between the United States and the UK on an eligible First Class or
        Business Class ticket will earn 50,000 bonus miles. Members
        traveling on select Economy Class fares will earn 25,000 bonus
        miles.

        With 25,000 bonus miles for qualifying tickets in Economy Class,
        AAdvantage members will have enough miles for a free* round-trip
        MileSAAver® award in Economy Class within the Continental U.S. and
        Canada. With 50,000 bonus miles for travel in First or Business
        Class, customers can book a free* round-trip MileSAAver award for
        travel in Economy Class from North America to Europe.

    --  Customers can also earn double elite-status qualifying miles when
        they book travel, and fly on American Airlines, American Eagle, and
        AmericanConnection through June 15. That puts customers on the fast
        track to reaching AAdvantage Gold®, AAdvantage Platinum®, or
        AAdvantage Executive Platinum® status. The benefits of elite status
        include mileage bonuses, upgrade privileges and various other
        perks, depending on a customer’s elite status level.

Both offers require registration prior to travel. To register and obtain complete offer details, visit www.aa.com/offers.

“Travelers will find that a trip on American to London or Paris can be as pleasing to their AAdvantage mileage balance as the sights and sounds of those two unforgettable cities can be to their senses,” said Charlie Schewe, American’s Regional Sales Director for the Northeast. “Put simply - fly American to London, and with the AAdvantage bonus miles earned, you can start planning your next trip to another fantastic worldwide destination.”
