 The Sporting Life
Celebrated Living’s annual issue devoted to the sporting life is a great reminder of how sports and air travel go hand in hand. Of course, with our network of more than 250 destinations around the world, American Airlines can help satisfy just about any sports craving -- whether it’s skiing in the Pyrenees, snorkeling in the Caribbean, or supporting your favorite college basketball team during the NCAA’s March Madness here in the United States.
Wherever your sports passion lies, we make getting to your “away games” a snap. The hardest part might be deciding which sporting pursuit to pursue -- although, as a member of the AAirpass program, you wouldn’t really have to choose at all. AAirpass members enjoy prepaid, unrestricted travel, at any time, at a set rate. That means no more searching for fares or incurring extra expense for your last-minute getaways. Your air miles are prepaid and thus available whenever you need to travel to any of the cities we serve throughout the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Europe, Latin America, and Asia.
AAirpass works like this: As you fly, miles are deducted from your prepaid account. You can monitor your account online to review your travel history, check your mileage balance, or purchase additional miles if needed. Since miles are deducted from your account only when you fly, you’ll never have to worry about refunds or exchange fees. The program provides real protection against fare increases, making it easier to manage your -- or your company’s -- travel budget.
But AAirpass isn’t just about managing costs. It’s also about convenience. Whether for work or play, you have the freedom to go anywhere we fly at virtually a moment’s notice -- perfect for business trips, or even better, for the spur-of-the-moment trip you’ve always dreamed of to Major League Baseball’s spring training.
AAirpass members book in the cabin of their choice, while enjoying the perks and privileges that befit their status. These include companion travel benefits, complimentary Admirals Club membership, and PriorityAAccess privileges at check-in, boarding, and security lines at select airports.
The AAirpass program was designed with frequent travelers in mind, so it’s not for everyone. It probably doesn’t make much sense for folks who fly once or twice a year. But if the idea of frequent, hassle-free escapes to destinations al l over the world appeals to you, then the program is definitely worth checking out.
To me, the “sporting life” is all about passion, and helping people like you follow their passion is what our business is all about. If you would like to learn more about AAirpass, I hope you will visit www.aa.com/aairpass or call one of our representatives at (800) 433-6355 soon. In the meantime, thank you for flying with us today. Have a great trip!
