American Airlines is making the biggest changes to its Admirals Club membership program in years, introducing a new lower-priced membership for solo travelers while dramatically increasing the cost of its traditional lounge membership.
Beginning Aug. 23, the airline's standard Admirals Club membership will cost up to $1,400 per year — up from today's maximum of $850 — while a new lower-priced membership will offer a less expensive option for solo travelers.
The membership changes coincide with the launch of the refreshed Citi® / AAdvantage® Executive World Elite Mastercard® (see rates and fees), which carries a higher annual fee beginning Aug. 23 but continues to include Admirals Club membership.
