American Airlines has added a new rule that is being enforced effective immediately on new award flight bookings (current bookings will not be affected). The new rules are as follows:
- Within the U.S. & Canada you’re limited to no more than 3 segments
- International awards are limited to no more than 4 segments
This is based on a one way flight, so round trip journeys can have a total of 6/8 segments. I’m never a fan of no notice changes. The problem with American Airlines is that their inventory of direct saver award flights is awful. I imagine this will affect people that aren’t near American Airline hub’s the most and need multiple positioning flights for international awards the most.
