LOS ANGELES, March 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — For a limited time, companies based in California that newly enroll in the American Airlines Business ExtrAA® program can receive up to 20,000 Business ExtrAA bonus points – enough for 10 Economy PlanAAhead® awards* valid for travel in the Continental United States, Canada and Mexico.

Part of the American Airlines Business Suite of travel products, Business ExtrAA is a complimentary program that rewards small and medium-sized companies for doing business with American. With Business ExtrAA, companies accrue points when their employees travel for business on American Airlines, American Eagle or American Connection® operated flights and include the company’s Business ExtrAA account number in their reservations. Employees can also earn American Airlines AAdvantage® miles on their personal frequent flyer accounts when traveling under their company’s Business ExtrAA number, so both the company and the individual traveler benefit.

“Small and medium-sized businesses continue to help drive our economic recovery here in the United States, so we’re excited to offer this promotion to help new member companies minimize their travel costs and get a jump start to earning travel awards in our Business ExtrAA program,” said Cathy Berg, American’s Regional Vice President – Western Sales Division.

This latest promotion is designed to support American’s expansion in Los Angeles as American and American Eagle grow service by 28 percent at Los Angeles International Airport with the introduction of 32 additional round trips beginning April 5, with new nonstop service to Albuquerque, N.M.; Boise, Idaho; El Paso, Texas; Houston (George Bush Intercontinental), Oklahoma City; Phoenix; Salt Lake City; Sacramento, Calif.; Tucson, Ariz.; and Shanghai, China.

“We believe our new routes out of LAX will be of high value to small and medium businesses who rely on face-to-face meetings to grow their business, and we are happy to take this opportunity to jump start their membership in a program that makes travel more affordable, more productive and more rewarding for businesses that consistently choose American,” added Karen Buls, American’s Director – Small & Medium Enterprises Products, Marketing & Sales Strategy.

Through this promotion, companies in California that newly enroll in the Business ExtrAA program will have the opportunity to reach the maximum 20,000 points bonus via a stepped approach. To earn the first award ticket, companies must enroll in the Business ExtrAA program using promotion code BIGCAL and have any one of their employees fly one qualifying round trip using the company’s new account number during the offer period, March 21, 2011, through June 30, 2011. Newly enrolled companies that spend $15,000 or more on qualifying** flights within the offer period will earn another 8,000 Business ExtrAA bonus points, equivalent to an additional four round-trip travel awards. And companies that spend a total of $30,000 or more during the offer period will earn another 10,000 Business ExtrAA bonus points, equivalent to an additional five round-trip travel awards. Every employee who travels using the company’s Business ExtrAA account number can help the company earn points. For more information on the promotion, visit www.aa.com/bigcal.

Business ExtrAA points can be redeemed for more than 50 travel awards, including flights, upgrades, AAdvantage Gold® status, and Admirals Club® one-day passes, conference rooms, and memberships. Companies can choose how points are redeemed. Business ExtrAA points can be used to control business travel costs, donated as part of employee incentive programs or used to thank valued customers for their loyalty. The Business ExtrAA program keeps track of all ticket purchases and sends a monthly e-mail to companies to advise when the account has been updated. Companies can also review their activity online 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and by contacting their dedicated customer service desk.

New Summer Schedule Means Hourly Service in the Afternoon from New York Kennedy to London Heathrow

FORT WORTH, Texas, March 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Summer 2011 will bring even more benefits to customers as a result of the enhanced relationship among American Airlines, British Airways and Iberia when, for the first time ever, the airlines’ schedules are coordinated for flights across the North Atlantic – including American’s London express service with 15 flights per day from the New York city area to London.

“Our newly aligned schedule for Summer 2011 reflects our commitment to deliver a superior travel experience for our customers. We are confident that our customers will welcome the enhanced travel options of our new joint product,” said Virasb Vahidi, American’s Chief Commercial Officer. “More convenient departure and arrival times and increased frequencies, in addition to our award-winning inflight service and onboard products, are just a few of the many outstanding customer benefits resulting from the launch of our trans-Atlantic joint business with British Airways and Iberia.”

The new schedule alignment, which begins March 27, means customers traveling between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and London Heathrow Airport (LHR) will benefit from more conveniently timed flights during peak periods in the late afternoon and evening. Customers will now have more ways to London – 15 flights a day in total between New York City (JFK/EWR) and London (LHR/LCY) – than ever before.

Previously, the 11 daily flights from JFK-LHR included five flights operated by American and British Airways that left at almost the same time. Now, those flights have been spread out to provide more departures at more desirable times throughout the day. For example, instead of the two morning flights from JFK in which both departed at 8:30 a.m., one will now depart at 8 a.m. and the other at 9:30 a.m., with both still arriving in London on the same day.

In addition to the schedule changes offering more ways to London, there are many other schedule improvements resulting from the joint business cooperation.

From Chicago to London, American and British Airways will now have close to hourly departures from 5 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. local time. Previously there was a three-hour gap in service.

Out of Miami, American and British Airways will now offer three different departure options between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. Before, only two departure times were available for customers.

In Boston, the new flight schedule allows passengers to leave at 8 a.m. or 9 a.m. local time, still arriving the same day into London. The last flight of the day has been pushed back by more than an hour making it more convenient for customers to get in a full day’s business before leaving for London.

On the other side of the Atlantic, schedules also have been aligned for customers flying to all of these U.S. destinations from London.

Additionally, customers will see new flights to new destinations this spring. Beginning April 5, American launches service from JFK to Budapest, Hungary, and on May 1, it begins a new flight from Chicago to Helsinki, Finland. Iberia begins nonstop service from Madrid, Spain, to Los Angeles on March 28 and Barcelona, Spain, to Miami service on March 29. Also, British Airways will begin service from San Diego to London on June 2.

On April 5, American will also increase service from Miami to Madrid and add a second flight from JFK to Barcelona on four days per week. British Airways will increase from two to three services a week from London’s Gatwick airport to Cancun, Mexico, beginning March 27.

AAdvantage Members Can Earn Double Miles Through April 30

FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — American Eagle Airlines today launched new nonstop service from Joplin Regional Airport in Joplin, Mo., to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.

“These two daily flights allow business travelers from Joplin to make an easy day trip to Dallas/Fort Worth,” said Gary Foss, Vice-President of Marketing and Planning for American’s regional network.  ”They also link customers from throughout Southwest Missouri with our largest hub and international gateway, with convenient connections throughout American’s global network.”

“Those that understand the importance of quality air service are very excited about our partnering with American Airlines,” said City of Joplin Mayor Mike Woolston. “Not only is a quality carrier like American essential to our economic development efforts, it allows area residents to connect to destinations virtually anywhere in the world. An added advantage is that flying from Joplin now offers convenience and affordability for those travelers who may have been utilizing other surrounding airports. Plus, the parking is not only close to the terminal, but it’s free, which makes flying Joplin a great opportunity for our community.”

FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Monday, Feb. 7, may be the busiest day in the history of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. At American Airlines and American Eagle as many as 25 percent more passengers than normal will board our aircraft. DFW International Airport is expecting three times its normal bus traffic, so airport entry plazas and roadways could be as crowded as terminals.

Given the expected crowds, American’s DFW customer service staff recommends arriving at the airport at least three hours, or more, before your scheduled departure. Checking in on AA.com and printing boarding passes prior to arrival will help ease the journey through crowded terminals.

Travelers Monday at DFW should expect longer lines at:

• Airport Entry Plazas
• Rental Car Returns
• Ticket Counters/Check-in Kiosks
• Baggage drop-offs (Curbside and Ticket Counters)
• TSA Security Checkpoints

To help ease the backlog:

Terminal D and part of American Eagle’s Terminal B will be open all night Sunday evening into Monday morning, including:

• Ticket Counters
• Security Checkpoints
• Concessions

American’s Terminals A and C will open at 3 a.m. Monday.
