Details on award travel

Use the award chart to learn where mileage award pricing starts for a one-way award on American Airlines for trips originating in North America.

Miles shown are for one-way travel. For each one-way award redeemed for travel within the United States and Canada (including Alaska and Hawaii), a maximum of three segments are permitted. For all other destinations (including Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands), a maximum of four segments are permitted.
Book a one-way trip or combine awards for round-trip or multi-city travel.
Each award is subject to taxes and carrier-imposed fees starting from $5.60 per person, per award. Taxes and fees vary by trip origin and destination. The exact amount of taxes and carrier-imposed fees that apply will appear when searching for a particular itinerary. The name on the credit or debit card must match the name on the AAdvantage® account from which miles are being deducted.
Flights booked for an unaccompanied minor are subject to an additional service fee (plus tax, where applicable). This fee also covers siblings on the same flight.
