Bear in mind that AA will not give FF miles for tickets bought on
Orbitz, etc, nor for some tickets from Travelocity and Expedia: another reason for buying from the AA website once you have found the flights with lowest fares. I lost out on this one: I bought three round-trip transatlantic tickets from an agent, and have now found out that AA considers them consolidated fares and so will not give any miles.

Interesting. At first I thought you meant bonus miles, but you really meant ANY miles, correct? I lost out on this one: I bought three round-trip transatlantic tickets from an agent, and have now found out that AA considers them consolidated fares and so will not give any miles. Note that some contract fares *do* give FF miles. I wouldn't buy from a site if it didn't make clear if I got miles or not though. -- _Deirdre http://deirdre.net "Dogs may have kept us company on the hunt, but it was the cats who insisted we invent houses and discover fire." -- Khiem Tran |

How did you buy these tickets? What site? Was it through the normal reservation screen or through some other method? I have bought regular tickets on Orbitz, Travelocity, and Expedia and have gotten FF miles for AA and others. I don't buy many AA tickets there anymore because AA gives you a 1000 mi bonus for booking on AA.com. |
