For whatever reason, there’s a not-insignificant portion of the frequent flyer community that finds invitation-only status with US airlines to be sexy. I’ve gotta be honest, I don’t really get it. Is there any other context in which overpaying for the pleasure of indulging in American’s domestic first class catering, lounge cubed cheese, and cheap chardonnay, is considered appealing?
Arguably the most well known invitation-only airline status is American Airlines’ Concierge Key, as it was a major theme of the popular 2009 movie “Up In The Air,” starring George Clooney.
In this post, I’d like to attempt to answer some of the most common questions about Concierge Key status to the best of my ability. If you’re interested in the details of invitation-only elite status with other airlines, check out my posts about Delta 360 and United Global Services.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
