Using miles on American Airlines vs. partner flights

Once you’ve logged into your AAdvantage® account, enter your flight search details in the “Book” box on the American Airlines homepage and check “Redeem miles.” On the search results page, you can filter for specific airlines.
Redeeming miles for non-flight awards
Miles aren’t just for flights – you can redeem them for a hotel room, lounge access at the airport, a seat upgrade or luxury experiences. You can even donate your miles to a cause you care about through the AAdvantage® program. To learn more, view options for redeeming your miles for non-flight expenses.
