Airline partnerships
Travel with ease around the world
We’ve partnered with other airlines to bring you more destinations and a seamless travel experience. If your trip with us includes a flight with our partners, you’ll enjoy:
- Even more destinations and flight schedules
- Checking your bag only once – we'll transfer it to your next flight
- Earning and redeeming AAdvantage® miles
- And more
Booking your flight
Our partnerships allow us to sell flights operated by other airlines. This means you can combine flights on American with other partner airlines to create a single trip for an easier flight connection.
At the airport
Check in with the airline of your first flight to get boarding passes for your entire trip. You’ll only have to check your bag once too – we’ll transfer it between flights. Keep in mind bag policies might differ between airlines, so be sure to check before you go.
Clubs and lounges
Get access to clubs and lounges around the world. There are different ways to become eligible – whether you have a ticket in qualifying premium cabin, a Citi® AAdvantage® Executive card, are an Admirals Club® member or have qualifying status.
