American Airlines announced that Fiji Airways, Fiji’s national airline, will join the award-winning AAdvantage® travel rewards program in the coming year, offering members a host of benefits as well as earning and redemption capabilities when traveling on either airline.

This collaboration means that AAdvantage® members will enjoy a seamless experience when traveling on Fiji Airways, receiving benefits such as priority check-in, priority boarding, complimentary baggage allowance, preferred seats and enhanced award redemption.     

“We are taking our partnership with Fiji Airways one step further by offering our mutual customers the opportunity to unlock more destinations and travel experiences through the AAdvantage® program,” said Anmol Bhargava, American’s Vice President of Partnerships. “We look forward to welcoming Fiji Airways customers into the AAdvantage® program so they can experience all the ways we deliver on our commitment that travel is better as an AAdvantage® member.”

AAdvantage® is the longest running travel loyalty program in the world — the program started in 1981 to reward frequent flyers. Now, AAdvantage® is much more than a frequent flyer program — it’s a travel rewards program that gives members access to unparalleled experiences, with more ways to earn and use miles, and more rewards and status benefits.
