Add to del.icio.usHere’s an opportunity for members of the American Airlines AAdvantage Program to double, or even triple their frequent flyer miles with travel to the UK.
By flying to any of American’s British gateways (Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, or Stansted) through May 15, AAdvantage members who register for this promotion can receive up to 30,000 bonus miles per trip in addition to miles normally accrued. For a single round-trip booking in Business or First Class, members will earn 10,000 bonus miles. Take a second trip in either Business or First Class, and the bonus jumps to 20,000 miles. A third trip earns 30,000 bonus miles. Total bonus AAdvantage miles for three trips: 60,000 miles.

Add the bonus miles to the regular accrual, and things get interesting. A New York-London round-trip is about 7,000 miles. Include a 50% bonus for First Class, and we’re at 10,500. Three trips will put 31,500 in the bank. Add your 60,000 bonus miles and you’ll have the 90,000 required for a free Business Class round-trip to Europe (with 1,500 miles to spare). From Los Angeles, at 11,000 miles per trip, you’ll amass 109,000 miles—more than enough for two future First Class upgrades to Europe, or two First Class tickets for travel within the continental US.
Travel must be booked and completed by May 15, 2008. For terms and conditions visit American’s website: http://www.aa.com/apps/netSAAver/ViewPromotionsDetail.jhtml?repositoryId=16067629

After much frustration with Delta, who wanted 250,000 miles for a business tkt from JFK to Paris next November. but could not find a reduced fare tkt on the same flight, a clever agent asked if we could fly from Newark and discovered that Continental only wanted 100,000 miles and had no problem booking a reduced fare (for companion). Used Delta miles and next time will check Continental first.
