Bumping for new information:
New info released today pertaining to what the nonrev travel program will look like for the combined airline.
Key Points:
- Will be using time of check-in for boarding priority (AA system)
- Will be using AA's method of fee assessment for first class travel (can any AA folks expand upon the details of your first class upgrade system? All I know is that domestic is based on mileage and long-haul is a flat fee.)
- Free coach travel across entire network (AA employees didn't have this?)
- Unlimited travel for parents/registered guests (Another thing new to AA?)
Overall, aside from the First Class fee schedule and boarding priority determination, it sounds like most of US's policies are carrying over.

$7.21 (minimum charge for up to about 850-900 miles)
$22.82 MIA-SEA
$31.66 DFW-HNL
For comparison purposes, AA domestic upgrade charge meets the US $20 domestic charge at about 2400 miles (LAX-MIA, at 2,343 miles, has an upgrade fee of $19.59).
Premium transcons (those operated between JFK and LAX/SFO) have slightly higher charges of $57.85 in First, and $22.85 in Business.
International upgrade fees are flat-rate, based on theater.
US to/from Europe/deep South America:
First Class: $65
Business Class: $25
US to/from Asia:
First Class: $125
Business Class: $50
In all cases, these are the upgrade fees alone, not including any taxes that may be assessed. Because of the way AA handles nonrev charges, a paid upgrade does incur taxes and government fees, such as the security fee, the federal segment tax, and the federal ticket tax.
While we do now know that they are going to keep the AA system of mileage based upgrade fees, we don't really know whether the charges will remain at the same level that AA has been charging, so this is subject to change...

Hey love2av8, what is the name of the app you use to automatically checkin?

The email we got said for now we are going to be like a ZED fare priority on USAir. So bottom of the barrel, but obviously that's just a starting point.
The 24 hour check in is nice. We have an app on our phone that allows us to check in.
Seniority based would suck cause someone could roll up to the gate and get on ahead of you even though they weren't listed. This way you get a much better idea of how many there are and how good your chances of getting on will be. Now the jumpseat is seniority based.
