American Airlines Group Inc. is doubling the amount of frequent-flier award miles needed to gain a free one-way ticket for flights on the busiest travel days.
The increase, to 50,000 miles for trips on days like the Sunday after Thanksgiving, is among changes American announced today to better match its policies with those of merger partner US Airways. The new rules also eliminate blackout dates for members of US Airways’ Dividend Miles program.
