American is trying to build on the goodwill they earned with the success of their first oneworld MegaDo by offering attendees a chance to win rewards with continued travel:

Group Challenge:

Keep Flying American + Get Rewarded!

Starting March 1, 2012 through May 31, 2012 we will select two winners each month (for a total of six winners); each lucky winner will receive his/her choice of several rewards.

The first winner will be the person with the highest number of eligible segments flown in the month
The second winner will be the person with the highest number of eligible base miles flown in the month
Each winner will be able to choose one reward from the list below:

Two (2) Systemwide Upgrades
25,000 American Airlines AAdvantage Bonus Miles
Eight (8) 500-Mile Upgrades
Gift of AAdvantage Gold Status for a Friend
25% AA Discount Code
One-Year Admirals Club Membership
Group Challenge Grand Prize

Now this is really cool, a chance to win ConciergeKey status

At the end of the three-month period, two overall winners will be selected and will be awarded ConciergeKey status.

• The first overall winner will be the person with the highest number of eligible segments flown during the entire three-month period.

• The second overall winner will be the person with the highest number of eligible base miles flown during the entire three-month period.

There’s also an individual challenge:

How About More Miles?!

Starting March 1, 2012, we will keep track of your flight activity on American Airlines, American Eagle and the AmericanConnection carrier for three months, and compare it to last year’s activity from March 1, 2011 through May 31, 2011.

If you increase your travel by 100% or more versus the prior year period, then you will receive triple the base miles flown during the offer period
If you increase your travel by 50% or more versus the prior year, then you will receive double the base miles flown during the offer period

If you participated in the MegaDo, there’s no need to register for this promotion, you’re already entered:

All MegaDo participants will be pre-registered for these promotions, so all you need to do is fly! Challenge winners will be announced monthly.

Mrs. Deals over at Deals We Like was a oneworld MegaDo attendee, and she just signed up for a Platinum Challenge because she has a lot of travel on American lined up the next couple of months. She picked the perfect time!

Go here for complete details of the MegaDo Challenge.

Also, as they say in television, “Stay tuned for tomorrow’s episode”: I giving away a prize in a random reader drawing.  Details tomorrow morning!

oneworld MegaDo giveaway: Preview the new American Airlines In-flight Safety Video

Posted on: January 26th, 2012 by: aadvantagegeek

Congratulations to Steve, the winner of yesterday’s oneworld MegaDo Giveaway!   Yesterday I asked readers whether or not they were going to miss the MD-80 series aircraft when they get replaced with the new Boieng 737s and Airbus A320s.  Opinion was pretty divided: 41% percent said that they would miss it, which leaves 59% that won’t.  For the record, here was Steve’s response “Yes…the 2×3 seat configuration is a winner.”

Results from Day 3 Random Drawing

Here’s a look at the brand new in-flight safety video that will debute on February 1.

YouTube Preview Image

From the American Airlines YouTube channel:

Next time you fly AA, pay close attention to the inflight safety video, as not only does it contain important information for your trip, but also features real AA employees.  Debuting across the AA network from February 1st, 2012, our In-Flight safety video features a group of employees representing Pilots, Flight Attendants, Passenger Service, Fleet Service, aircraft, facility and line mechanic employees all committed to your safety while flying American.

I have a confession. I don’t pay attention to the in-flight safety video.  If a flight attendant gives the demonstration, I’ll almost always pay attention.   I feel kind of obligated to watch, just because I don’t want be rude.  Hopefully, the novelty of the new video will encourage me to pay attention.  

So, that brings us to today’s giveaway.

To celebrate the first ever oneworld MegaDo, I’m giving away a different prize in a random drawing each day this week!

Even if you’re not going to the oneworld MegaDo, this is your chance to win some AAdvantage Geek gear.

Today’s prize: This American Airlines Stainless Steel Travel Mug!

To enter, all you have to do is post your answer to this question in the comments section.

Do you watch the in-flight safety video?

There’s not a right or wrong response.  Just submit your answer.   I’ll have a random drawing in the morning and the winner will be announced tomorrow. One entry per person. The deadline to enter is tonight at 11:59PM Pacific.

oneworld MegaDo Giveaway: Are you going to miss the MD-80?

Posted on: January 25th, 2012 by: aadvantagegeek

Landed at Dallas/FT Worth Airport

Congratulations to wis, the winner of yesterday’s oneworld MegaDo Giveaway!  Yesterday I asked readers to weigh in on whether or not American would extend the Double Elite Qualifying Miles offer. The consensus view was: No.

Results from Day 2 of Random Drawing

I mentioned this before, but I was on a plane and met The Frequent Flyer Collector.  Even though we’d never met before, both of us had a layover so we ended up having lunch and talking about miles, points, and planes.

At some point in the conversation we started talking about how much we both liked the new Boeing 737-800s with the Sky-Interior. I mentioned to him that as much as I liked the new planes, that I was going to miss the MD-80s when they got replaced.

That’s something I never thought I’d say.  Either because my first flights were on a Boeing, or because I grew up thinking that the 747 was the coolest plane on earth, I’ve always had this Boeing bias.

But something that I do like about the MD-80s that I didn’t realize until recently, is the 3/2 seat configuration in coach.

If you’re traveling with another person, it’s nice to have the whole 2 seat row to yourselves.

The 3 and 3 seating configuration of the 737 means that one of you is going to have to sit in the middle seat, or that you’re going to have a stranger sitting in between.

So, that brings us to today’s giveaway.

To celebrate the first ever oneworld MegaDo, I’m giving away a different prize in a random drawing each day this week!

Even if you’re not going to the oneworld MegaDo, this your chance to win some AAdvantage Geek gear.

Today’s prize: This American Airlines MD-80 cap!

To enter, all you have to do is post your answer to this question in the comments section.

Are you going to miss the MD-80?

There’s not right or wrong answer. Just submit your answer.  I’ll have a random drawing in the morning and the winner will be announced tomorrow. One entry per person. The deadline to enter is tonight at 11:59PM Pacific.

oneworld MegaDo giveway: Double Elite Qualifying Miles and Mileage Runners

Posted on: January 24th, 2012 by: aadvantagegeek

Congratulations to Naif, the winner of yesterday’s oneworld MegaDo Giveaway!  I guess I should also congratulate DFW, LAX, and Miami.  All three airports tied as readers’ favorite American Airlines Cornerstone hub.

Results from Random Drawing

The other day I was on a flight and I’m sitting in an exit row seat, the middle seat next to me was empty, and  there’s a guy sitting next to the window.  

After we land, the guy grabs his backback from under the seat in front of him, and I happen to notice that he has a milepoint luggage tag on his backpack.

So I ask him if he’s on a mileage run and he tells me yes and we start to talk about how many elite qualifying miles he’s racked up this year.

There’s a guy standing across the aisle from us that hears what we’re talking about and he joins in on the conversation.  He tells us he’s been on that same 737 multiple times and that he was beginning to recognize some of the other mileage runners.  He kept running into some of them in airport and up in the air.

We exit the airplane and the first guy (shout out to K!) had a tight turnaround so he headed off to catch a flight.  

So the second guy and I head off to the food court to get something to eat.

Later I find out that he’s the blogger behind The Frequent Flyer Collector and that he’s on a quest to earn Executive Platinum.

He’s making use of the system wide Double Elite Qualifying Miles offer and by the end of the month he will have been on 9 trips and will be within 5,000 miles of reaching his goal.   He’ll probably make Executive Platinum just after the first of February!

We talk about the Double Elite Qualifying Miles promotion and whether or not American will extended it after it expires at the end of the month.  He doesn’t think it will, but he does think that we may see it come back later in the year.

If I had to guess, I’d say that he’s probably right.  I think American will wait and see what happens to travel demand before they rush off and extend it.

Of course, that hasn’t stopped people from speculating.  There’s even this mysterious promo code being discussed in a thread on one of the forums.  There’s absolutely no reason to believe that’s it legit, so don’t go and book any February mileage runs just yet.

So, that brings us to today’s giveaway.

To celebrate the first ever oneworld MegaDo, I’m giving away a different prize in a random drawing each day this week!

Even if you’re not going to the oneworld MegaDo, this your chance to win some AAdvantage Geek gear.

Today’s prize: This American Airlines Seatbelt Keychain. It’s even got a working buckle!

To enter, all you have to do is post your answer to this question in the comments section.

Do you think American will extend the current system wide Double Elite Qualifying Miles promotion?

There’s not right or wrong answer.  Just submit your choice.  I’ll have a random drawing in the morning and the winner will be announced tomorrow.  One entry per person.  The deadline to enter is tonight at 11:59PM Pacific.

An updated oneworld MegaDo Reading List

Posted on: January 17th, 2012 by: aadvantagegeek

The oneworld MegaDo is almost here.  Even if you’re not attending, you can still following the fun with some of the bloggers that will be there covering the event.

I put together a list several days back, but somehow managed to leave off a few of my favorites (sorry Mrs. Deals and Blighty!), and since then, there’s been another addition.  The Weekly Flyer over at Points, Miles & Martinis just cleared the standby list, so he’ll be attending the MegaDo also (he’s participating in the water evacuation drill, so look for some video on his site).

Anyway, I thought I should update the list, so here you go:

Points, Miles & Martinis,
Deals We Like,
Miles from Blighty,
Mommy Points,
AJ from Live from a Lounge,
Gary from a View from the Wing,
Rick the Frugal Travel Guy
Brian The Points Guy,
Eric M. the new Official AAdvantage Mega VIP Video Blogger.

I mentioned this the other day too, but to celebrate the first ever oneworld MegaDo, I’ll be giving away some schwag in a random drawing each day during the week of January 23 – 27!

oneworld MegaDo update: Would you like to have dinner with the President (of AAdvantage)

Posted on: January 9th, 2012 by: aadvantagegeek

There are two weeks left until the first ever oneworld MegaDo takes off. It’s shaping up to be a really exciting event and there are some new announcements that promise make it even more fun.

Randy Petersen is a passionate supporter of the Komen Foundation, and last week he posted the news to the official oneworld MegaDo blog that some cool fund raising events had been added to the schedule.

milepoint and American Airlines have partnered to sponsor three auctions with the winners receiving some amazing, once in a lifetime experiences and the proceeds going to benefit Komen for the Cure.

Dinner with the President (of AAdvantage)

From the MegaDo blog:

Now you have a chance to bid on a chance to dine at 33,000 feet with the new President of the American AAdvantage program, Suzanne Rubin.

Some more details from the milepoint forum:

REMINDER: You MUST be ticketed on the charter and/or TATL block to participate in this event.

This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ALL proceeds of the auction will go to benefit Komen.

Again, no firm time on the end of this auction, but it will be open until at least Thursday, January 19th.

Suzanne Rubin replaced Maya Leibman who was recently promoted to Chief Information Officer at American Airlines.  According to a post in the forum for this auction, Maya will dropping in on MegaDo participants at some point during the DFW portion.

Bidding is up to $500. So if you’re MegaDo participant and want a chance to share some ideas with the Commander in Chief of Travel Awards, this is your opportunity.

Go here for more info or to place your bid.

Boeing 737 Flight Simulator

If you ever wanted to play pilot, here’s your chance. From Randy’s post on the MegaDo blog:

You get a chance for one hour in “the machine” with 40 minutes of observing your fellow pilots stray off course and then 20 minutes of your very own 737 time.

Some details from the auction forum on milepoint:

We have 24 slots to pilot a simulator in DFW. Here are the details:

• DISCLAIMER: You MUST be ticketed on the charter to be part of this experience.
• 4 groups of 6 people, starting at 7:30 am.
• Each winning bidder will get 20 minutes of time in the pilot seat, and 40 minutes of observation.
• All slots are in the 737 simulator.
• All proceeds will go to Komen.
• This auction will terminate at 11:59PM EST on Tuesday, January 10th unless AA gives us more time (which is unlikely).

There are still some slots left, so go here to place your bid before it’s too late.

C.R. Smith Flight Academy Water Evacuation Drill

It’s too late to bid on this, but it was a very popular fundraiser.  If I had to choose between the flight sim or the water evacuation, I’d pick the evacuation drill.   Besides, you never know when the experience might come in handy, and in the event of an emergency (think Airport) my time in the flight sim isn’t going to help me or anyone else.  From the MegaDo blog:

You’ve heard these instructions hundreds of times: “Pull the loose strap until the vest fits snugly. As you leave the aircraft, inflate the vest by pulling down firmly on the red tabs.”

All 40 slots were auctioned off and more than $4,000 was raised for Komen for the Cure.

I had already planned my winter break before the oneworld MegaDo dates were announced, so I’ll be sitting on the beach following events on some of my favorite blogs:

Deals We Like,
Miles from Blighty,
Mommy Points,
AJ from Live from a Lounge,
Gary from a View from the Wing,
Rick the Frugal Travel Guy
Brian The Points Guy,
Eric M. the new Official AAdvantage Mega VIP Video Blogger.

Even if you’re not going, you can still get some schwag. To celebrate the inaugural oneworld MegaDo, during the week of January 23 -27, I’ll be giving away some neat stuff including one of the new American Airlines Eames Office design amenity kits to help keep the winner Flagship comfortable the next time they sit in coach.

American Airlines matches big LAN fare sale: Up to 50% off to South America

Posted on: December 5th, 2011 by: aadvantagegeek

Keep your friends close, and your airlines alliance partners closer.  Last week (American Airlines partner and oneworld member) LAN launched a big fare sale with some fares dropping by as much as 50 percent from New York, Miami, San Francisco, and Los Angeles to many destinations in South America.

From the LAN “Big Deal of the Year” offer on their website:

Our BIG DEAL of the year is the biggest and best sale yet! So grab your seat before December 12, 2011 to travel between March 1 and June 30, 2012 to beautiful destinations including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. There is no better time to plan and book next year’s vacation with saving of up to 50%. Hurry, the BIG DEAL OF THE YEAR will only be around for 2 weeks!

Bad news: These fares book into Q class, so they don’t earn AAdvantage miles on codeshare flights. Correction: I was wrong (see the comments section).   These fares will earn AAdvantage Miles.

Good news: American has quietly matched the fares so you’ll earn full mileage on AA numbered flights.

Here’s a sample of some of the fares:

Miami to Lima – $399 round-trip, plus tax/fees
New York JFK to Buenos Aires – $799 round-trip, plus tax/fees

You must purchase you’re ticket by December 12, 2011 to travel between March 1 and June 30, 2012

Go here to the LAN US site to see a full list of fares and destinations, then go to AA.com to search availability.

A hat tip to The Travel Abstract who writes “I may be making a quick 3 month layover in the city where steak and wine porn is not taboo.  Hasta Pronto Buenos Aires!” for writing the post that brought this sale to my attention.

Some other news:

• From Points, Miles and Martinis: If you missed out on buying a oneworld MegaDo ticket, there’s still hope: Randy Peterson is giving up his seat and he and the other milepoint founders are giving it away in a random drawing.  Go here for details.

• Speaking of contests, several Boarding Area bloggers are supporting Passports with Purpose.  You can support building two libraries in Zambia and maybe win one of these great prizes:

From Points, Miles and Martinis: Win Two Free Nights At The W Hotel Atlanta!

From Mommy Points: Win a $100 Best Western Gift Card!

From Deals we Like:  Win a 2-Night Weekend Stay in NYC!

Loyalty Traveler:  Win 110,000 Hyatt Gold Passport points!
