An associate asked me to look into this. He wants to re-qualify for AA EXP. He currently has 40k miles and 44k points.
The only way would be to do a mileage run or few.
I'm just looking for answers, not whether it's worth it for him (he's an older guy "stuck in his ways").
He's based out of Miami, so I was thinking of something like FLL-CLT-LAX-NRT RT in First (AA P class).
From what I understand, his current EXP would help things move faster, is this true? Also, would flying in Business or First help as well?
Which
miles / points earned would qualify for status?
