I suppose of interest to everyone now is what does this mean for award travel and realigning your travel goals going forward.
In particular, there was a bit of trepidation on those who were possibly stockpiling miles in anticipation of the merger.
I'd imagine that with the current "enhancement" season (called "devaluation" in the USA parlance), some might advocate that as soon as US/AA finish merging, the best way to hedge yourself is to burn hard.
I think what also surprises me is that from one source, I heard that the new AA/US will become the "largest airline"... I forgot which context followed it (I don't think it was "in the world" but I really can't remember), but unless the answer is "based in Dallas" I don't think AA/US will be the biggest of anything, but I'll plead ignorance on knowing the numbers and scales.
Struggling to use your Frequent Flyer Points?
Frequent Flyer Concierge takes the hard work out of finding award availability and redeeming your frequent flyer or credit card points for flights.
Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, the Frequent Flyer Concierge team at Frequent Flyer Concierge will help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.
I'm interested when US leave *A and join OW but before the DM program is merged, which I believe may be a period of about six months. I wonder if US will keep their own rules, award chart, regions, promos etc but bookable on OW or whether they will adopt everything AA does. If its the first options I think there will be some extremely unique travel options for a short period!
