Hi all
As I progress half way through the year and I look on my available eVIP balance and my lack of upgradeable flights my mind turns to getting a better understanding of the potential routings one might consider using one on.
I have had what seemed to me to be conflicting potential routes where you could utilise the maximum benefit.
I know that eVIPs can be used for 3 flights. The detailed terms and conditions are on aa.com and some extracts are here:
Systemwide Upgrade Terms and Conditions
• Upgrade entitles passenger to a one-way upgrade to the next class of service at no additional charge for travel on American Airlines to any American Airlines destination.
• This upgrade is subject to capacity controls and is limited to a single one-way trip with a maximum of three segments.
• Stopovers, joint and through fares are permitted if fare purchased allows.
What this doesnt define is routing.
For example people have said that nrt-dfw-jfk-lhr is ok but nrt-ord-jfk-lhr is not ok.
Is there any clear explanation of the potential routings?
Cheers
