This won’t fly.
American Airlines fliers are fuming after the carrier cut its program awarding bonus miles and other travel perks to passengers who purchase a basic economy ticket.
According to the airline’s website, the policy change is in effect for travelers who booked basic economy tickets on or after Dec. 17 at 12 a.m. CT.
Previously, those enrolled in the AAdvantage program earned two miles and loyalty points for each dollar spent on a regular fare — and now, they’ll only get those points if they opt for a more expensive ticket.
