United claims that the changes will
make booking award travel simpler.
American Airlines surprised many today when it announced several customer - friendly changes to its frequent - flier program.The new «One - Way Flex Awards» will allow customers to book one - way tickets for half the amount of miles needed for a round - trip ticket, and will also let passengers book multi-city itineraries and combine award seats with non-award seats.Under the old paradigm, passengers could only book round - trips to and from the same city and were forced to fly in an award seat of equal value for both legs of the journey.This often
made booking award travel an exercise in futility — for example, an award seat might be available only on an outbound journey, but not the return trip.But now passengers will be able to fly to New York in an award seat, and return in a premium - fare seat if a return award seat is not available.
