I have taken my family on numerous non rev trips with AA. Just have to watch the flights and pick the ones that have the best chance, no different than any other airline. Haven't really gotten First simply because I have two young'uns that don't qualify for First due to age. But when it's been only my wife and I, we've gotten first to Europe and back plenty of times.

Free, never - until we get us airs non rev system. Free first class has never been part of AA bennies. Shame.

Even international Coach charges non rev fees.
What is the age requirement for First at AA? USA is 12 years. Delta is 6.

The discount for upgrades after 25 years is equal to the coach price charged for the segment. Example:

SAN-JFK
0-5 years:
Y: $12.00, F: $32.45

5-25 years:
Y: $0.00, F: $32.45

25+ years:
Y: $0.00, F:$20.45

The low end charges (based on SAN-LAX... at 109 miles) are Y: $4.68/F: $11.92.

On long haul international flights, they use flat rate pricing, rather than mileage based.

US-Europe/Deep South America:
0-25 years:
Y: $35.00, J: $60.00, F: $100.00

25+ years:
Y: $0.00, J: $25.00, F: $65.00


US-Asia:
0-25 years:
Y: $50.00, J: $100.00, F: $175.00

25+ years:
Y: $0.00, J: $50.00, F: $125.00

All of these are the service charge only, before taxes/fees.

Can you pay these fees at the gate?

Hope we adopt your current requirement. If the merger goes through that is...

They are deducted from your paycheck. If you are on any form of leave with travel benefits (or retirement I think) they just send you a bill.

When they commute by traveling nonrev on AA during their first 5 years of service (or 25 years, if they're not in coach), yes.

Its really sad when bargain basement regional airline pilots get better treatment than pilots at one of the world's largest carriers.

Isn't the W free for commuters?

Dumb question, but I honestly don't know.
