American Airlines recently had their first media and investor day since the merger with U.S. Airways. USA Today is reporting two pieces of information that I thought readers would be particularly interested in:
- They will add free in flight texting. Delta just announced this as well, American Airlines currently charges $5 where available. No timeline was given apart from this happening “soon”.
- They will boost the availability of frequent flier seats at their lowest award levels. I assume they are talking about saver space. This is a must do because the American Airlines program has become a joke with the lack of saver space, customers are starting to push back and this is clearly evident on any American Airlines post on this site with the majority of comments complaining about the lack of this award space.
Personally I’ll believe the increased award space when I see it.
