Neither program discounts this one, so the choice here is about miles, not cash.

Which programs can book American Airlines, and what each adds in cash.

American passes on almost nothing. The cash beside an American award is the US departure tax and the security fee, and that is most of it.

Where American Airlines sits on fees.

American Airlines carries the lowest cash charge of the 12 airlines we price, at $5.60, level with Alaska Airlines.

These are the airlines' own charges, before a program decides how much of one to pass on. What you actually pay is the figure beside each program above.

98 routes we price with American Airlines on them.

Each one shows every program and airline that can book the same seat, both directions priced separately because they cost differently.

Questions people ask first.

How do I find American Airlines award availability?

Search the route here. We ask every program that can book American Airlines at the same time and show what each one wants in miles and in cash for the same physical seat. There is no account and no cap on how much you search. The cheapest American Airlines seat on the routes we price is Dublin to New York, at 55K miles plus $5.60 through Atmos Rewards.

Can I find Flagship Business with points?

Flagship Business is American Airlines's premium cabin, and it is the seat most searches for this airline are really after. We show it wherever a program we price is selling it on a route we cover. It is scarce, so an empty result today is worth an alert rather than a second look tomorrow.

Which programs can book American Airlines?

Of the programs MilesZone prices today, American AAdvantage and Atmos Rewards sell American Airlines, including its own programme, AAdvantage. Programmes we do not price yet can book it too — so treat this page as what these programs can see, not as everything that exists.

How much are the taxes and surcharges on a American Airlines award?

$5.60 through American AAdvantage and $5.60 through Atmos Rewards. Both programs pass on the same amount here, so on American Airlines the choice comes down to miles rather than cash.

Does MilesZone book the American Airlines seat for me?

No. We find the seat, show the miles and the cash side by side, and hand you the link. The booking happens on the program's own site, and we never ask for your program login.
