At least on paper, upgrades are one of the best perks of airline elite status, and if you’re traveling with someone, then companion upgrades are also kind of important (after all, it’s not exactly ideal to leave your spouse in economy).
Anyway, in this post I’d like to talk a bit about how American’s companion upgrade policy works, both when it comes to complimentary upgrades, and also when it comes to upgrades using other instruments, like systemwide upgrades.
On the surface, unlimited complimentary companion upgrades sounds like a positive. After all, sometimes you travel with a loved one or friend, and it’s nice to be able to treat them to a more comfortable experience as well.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
