American: Rio de Janeiro – New York from 883 USD
Posted by: | Comments
American Airlines are feeling the new competition from US Airways and Tam in Río de Janeiro. Among the amount of supposedly promotional fares on its website, one stands out: 883 USD (QLX0L8U, taxes not included) to fly from Rio de Janeiro to New York. Valid for purchases until 18 January 2010 and for flights between 19 January and 30 April 2010.
It is not an exceptional price but among the big airlines, it is the best. You can fly cheaper with Avianca (with connecting flights in São Paulo and Bogotá) from 667 USD (KEEP0030, taxes not included).

To celebrate Thanksgiving, American Airlines is giving a 15% discount on tickets purchased between 23 and 28 November directly at its shops. American current fares are nothing extraordinary but they operate a substantial number of direct flights and, depending on the tariff, you can accumulate Smiles credits.

Miles accumulated on the Gol / Varig’s Smiles reward program can already be used to issue American Airlines tickets, an announcement we had made at Smiles and American Airlines delayed.
Smiles and American Airlines delayed

Gol’s mileage program Smiles has postponed the initial date for trading Smiles credits for American Airlines tickets. The date has been shifted from 1 October to 11 November (and there might be new changes on the way).
On top of this change of dates, Smiles users are going through hell trying to get their miles credited for flights done with AirFrance. Smiles must get their act together, Tam’s Fidelidade program, soon to join the Star Alliance, is no mean competitor.

American is offering double the amount of miles on its AAdvantage program for purchases made between 8 July and 31 October for flights between 1 August and 31 October 2009.
The promotion is valid both for American and Gol flights.
agreement between Gol and American Airlines
Posted by: | Comments
Gol, owner of the Smiles mileage program, should be announcing shortly a partnership agreement with American Airlines. The agreement should include code-share flights and the association of the Smiles and Aadvantage frequent-flyer programs.
The details of the agreement haven’t emerged yet, but it should be good news for both the airlines. Gol will be able to offer more destinations to its passengers and more options to accumulate or spend the rewards earned by the users of its Smiles program. American, in turn, will reach more destinations in Brazil through Gol and Varig’s network, and Aadvantage associates will be able to accumulate rewards on domestic flights. The best thing is that regular fliers will not be able to tell much difference between the services offered by the partner airline – they are very much alike.
