It was previously rumored that American Airlines would be adding premium economy awards. Today American Airlines officially announced this. Below you can see the award chart for these awards:
Pricing is somewhere between economy and business. For example flights to Europe cost:
- 30,000 miles in economy
- 40,000 miles in premium economy
- 57,500 in business
Pricing to other locations isn’t as good though, for example to Alaska:
- 15,000 miles in economy
- 25,000 miles in premium economy
- 30,000 miles in business
It doesn’t look like you’ll be able to book these premium economy seats on partner airlines unfortunately.
