Effective November 1, 2014, flights taken on El Al will not accrue AAdvantage miles due to the discontinuation of American's frequent flyer relationship with EL AL.All award travel on EL AL must be booked and ticketed by October 31, 2014. Travel is valid one year after ticket date, and must be completed by October 31, 2015. No changes to the EL AL segments are allowed during that period.
Seems like AA is ending their partnership with El Alhttp://loyaltylobby.com/2014/09/24/american-airlines-el-al-frequent-flier-partnership-ending-on-october-31-2014/Not Good.. But I guess it had to come to an end eventually.
This is baaaad news...
The question is, does this mean AA are planning to start their own flights soon?
And why exactly am I hoarding close to a million AA miles ?Even selling it somehow will be worth far less now after such news.Terrible.
Here is to hope that they will enter OW alliance soon....
dont hold your breath for that one...
