    Flying to Europe between now and July 31? Good. Flying on a first-, business-, or full coach-fare ticket? Even better. Because, bonus miles.



    Offer Details



    Through July 31, AAdvantage members can

    earn up to 50,000 bonus miles

    when traveling roundtrip between the U.S. and Europe on American, British Airways, Finnair, or Iberia, as follows:


    • 2,000 bonus miles for select discounted coach fares
    • 15,000 bonus miles for Premium Economy, full coach fares

      Deal or No Deal



      The bonuses range from hefty, for more expensive tickets, to paltry, for discounted coach. And those flying on discounted coach—by far the most popular fare type—will have to be mindful of the qualifying fare codes within that rather broad category. On American flights, for instance, the eligible discounted coach fare types are H, K, M, L, W, V, G, Q, N, and O.

      Your mileage, in other words, may vary.
