Discounted Business Class Fares for AAdvantage Business Members

For a limited time, registered AAdvantage Business travelers can access up to 12% off published business class fares to select destinations in Asia. Eligible routes include flights from any U.S. city in the contiguous 48 states (excluding Alaska and Hawaii) to Japan, Shanghai (PVG), or Seoul (ICN).

To qualify, flights must be AA-marketed and operated by either American Airlines or Japan Airlines. For example, AA-marketed JAL-operated flights are valid from major cities such as Boston (BOS), Chicago (ORD), Dallas–Fort Worth (DFW), New York (JFK), Los Angeles (LAX), San Diego (SAN), San Francisco (SFO), and Seattle (SEA).

AA-operated flights qualify from JFK, DFW, and LAX. JAL-operated flights are excluded on PVG and ICN routes.

The booking window runs through December 31, 2025, for travel between December 1, 2025, and March 10, 2026. Note that blackout dates apply to both eastbound and westbound travel during the holiday season, specifically from December 5 to 23, 2025, for U.S.-originating travel, and from December 31, 2025, to January 20, 2026, for travel originating in Asia.

To access the discount, sign in on aa.com or the American Airlines app, then toggle your travel type to “Business” before searching. American will display the applicable discounted fares automatically.

AAdvantage Business members will also continue earning extra Loyalty Points on top of the miles and Loyalty Points earned through the standard AAdvantage program, giving frequent business travelers an added boost toward elite status.

How To Register for AAdvantage Business

Enrollment in AAdvantage Business is free, but you’ll need an EIN to register. This account is separate from your personal AAdvantage number and serves as the business profile used to unlock these corporate discounts and earn additional Loyalty Points.

Once enrolled, you’ll receive a dedicated AAdvantage Business account number, which you can use when booking work travel for yourself or employees.
