Travel Forum / Travel Types / Air Travel / July 2008standbye placement
According to the LCD displays at DFW, ones Standbye status is determined by your AAdvantage Status, your Checkin time, and travel disruptions. I assume the AAdvantage Status includes frequent flier miles. My question is... if you spend some of your frequent flier miles, will that negatively effect your Standbye placement? If you frequently get on Standbye lists, does that affect your AAdvantage Status? > According to the LCD displays at DFW, ones Standbye status is > determined by your AAdvantage Status, your Checkin time, and travel [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > If you frequently get on Standbye lists, does that affect your > AAdvantage Status? No and no. It's based on what status level you are in the program, not whta miles you use. It is also based on the fare class you paid, so when you use points, you fall into a much lower priority than someone who is top tier AAdvantage status, and flying on a full-fare ticket. You will be above employees flying standby, if that is any consolation. > According to the LCD displays at DFW, ones Standbye status is > determined by your AAdvantage Status, your Checkin time, and [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > placement?

I dunno, but I'd much rather be on "Standby" than "Standbye"... the latter having some negative connotations. :>According to the LCD displays at DFW, ones Standbye status is :>determined by your AAdvantage Status, your Checkin time, and travel :>disruptions.

No. It is your current elite level which is based on the number of points last year or this year, whichever is higher. :>If you frequently get on Standbye lists, does that affect your :>AAdvantage Status? Can't imagine why.

Elite Status isn't determine by the number of miles remaining. AA.com has quite a bit of info on the levels. |
