从2025年12月17日起,美国航空公司停止在新的基本经济机票上赚取AAAPY里程的收益。 American Airlines stops earning AAdvantage miles on new basic economy tickets as of Dec. 17, 2025.

美国航空公司从2025年12月17日起,取消了基本经济机票的AAAPAGE里程和忠诚点收入,只对新订票产生影响。 American Airlines has eliminated AAdvantage mile and loyalty point earnings for basic economy tickets effective December 17, 2025, impacting new bookings only. 该变化适用于该日或该日之后的所有新采购,取消了希望获得报酬的预算旅行者的一项关键津贴。 The change, which applies to all new purchases on or after that date, removes a key perk for budget travelers seeking to earn rewards. 以前,乘客每花一美元挣两英里。 Previously, passengers earned two miles per dollar spent. 此举与达美航空和联合航空的类似政策一致，尽管这些航空公司仍提供有限的积分累积。 The move aligns with similar policies at Delta and United, though those carriers still offer limited point accrual. 基本经济仍然包括免费个人物品、随身行李包、零食和娱乐。 Basic economy still includes a free personal item, carry-on bag, snacks, and entertainment. 这一转变反映了一种更广泛的行业趋势,即优先考虑高收入客户和增加忠诚方案收入,这些收入占美国2024年收入的15%以上。 The shift reflects a broader industry trend to prioritize higher-paying customers and boost loyalty program revenue, which contributed over 15% of American’s 2024 income. 在未发布新闻稿的情况下宣布的政策改变引起了对透明度和公平性的批评,特别是航空公司报告第三季度损失3.98亿美元。 The policy change, announced without a press release, has drawn criticism over transparency and fairness, particularly as the airline reported a $398 million third-quarter loss.
