Prepaid, Unrestricted Air Travel at a Fixed Rate
As an AirPass member, you won’t have to search for fares or pay extra for last-minute trips. Your airfare is pre-paid at a fixed rate and your account is ready when you need to travel to any of the more than 350 destinations in the combined American Airlines and US Airways network.

AirPass, depending on level of purchase, includes status and may include up to Executive Platinum status and Admirals Club membership, or even Concierge Key, which includes both.
AirPass members get a courtesy drink and a snack if they're traveling in Coach, much as Executive Platinums do; unlike Executive Platinums, their traveling companion does also.
14 Jan 2016 jmappleby said: "...they take credit via wire transfer at $10k (Gold), $20k (Platinum), $30k (EP). Concierge Key is available for $50k individual spend or $75k team spend."

The best deal seems to be the -UP fares, where you pay the standard economy, but book a confirmed seat into business

I just cancel it from the app. Refunded in a day or 2 tops. I always book another flight first then cancel of course. I will say, CK was able to get me on flights that showed sold out. I find AP more worth it if you can do the 60k personal , or 100k business. We have the 100k business, up to 10 people. You can add and remove as you please. If I didn’t have business I would prob do personal as long as I can go through the funds

thank you for the input. i had not considered 100k business. but even at this level, its still just 1 CK, correct? how does this work? im also confused about the "+ companion". my general assumption has been that you can book for other people using airpass funds, but they do not hold status unless you travel together on the same itinerary where they enjoy your status benefits. does the "+ companion" mean you can only book w/ 1 other person? basically, my question is - how does airpass work when traveling 2+ people?

the way the business one works is the person who has airpass must be flying. Say you have AP, you can have 1 more person on your reservation. If you have 10 people on airpass, 20 people can technically fly because each one has a companion. You can’t just book for someone and use funds. United has one where you can. Pass flex or something like that it’s called. However, you can add and remove people constantly. Just don’t remove them until they completed the flight. Say you have 10 core people , but 1 of those isn’t flying for a few or two. You can remove them ( pending they have no flights booked ) and add another
do you know if im able call to link my PNR to other non-AP bookings? maybe thats not allowed for AP. but i was hoping it could help with priority boarding + baggage allowance and potential upgrades together w/ CK. at the very least im wondering if you can call and link all PNRs together for MCE seats.

thank you for the clarification. that helps a lot. i can see why you have business AP for your family of 3. i will be the primary flyer so had always considered only a personal AP. i didnt even think about biz. i assume the same restriction applies for personal AP + companion. meaning, i cant be booking for other people if im not flying with them. that wont be a problem whenever i fly solo (vast majority), but if im bringing other PAX, looks like personal AP will only support me +1 and i would have to book tickets normally for all other PAX, correct? hm, something i have to think about now.

To even ask the question, when someone has already told you the answer for the standard cost, you should already know that you would need to have something additional in your pocket, beyond the standard cost, in order to entice someone to "negotiate" with you. No party is going to negotiate something if there isn't anything on the table to negotiate.

Does same-day confirmed change work with Airpass tickets?
Interesting occurrence last week.
Was booked in D DFW-MEX at ~4:30pm. The prior flight at ~2:30pm was J0, so I set an alert in EF for J1. Overnight the night before the flight, it became J2 D2 R2 I2. The app still would not offer this flight as SDC change. Can anyone explain why? My exact booking class was available for the exact same routing (non-stop) on the same day. Why would it not be offered?
The only thing I can think of is that this was an Airpass ticket.
You may ask why I didn't cancel and just book the flight I want. The reason was it was a connection in DFW, and I didn't want to issue a new ticket for 1/2 the trip.
EDIT: Looks like MEX isn't eligible for SDC. Still wonder if SDC works for Airpass though.

Agree. That's how it's worked in my experience also -- basically, SDFC is the only way to make a voluntary change on an Airpass ticket.

cost of CK
I'm well aware "money" Literally everyone buying CK via Airpass is bringing "money." That said, have you seen anything in GundamWing01's replies/questions that lead you to believe they are bringing anything additional to the table that should cause AA to feel they need to negotiate a better deal than 60K for CK with said poster? I certainly have not.
To even ask the question, when someone has already told you the answer for the standard cost, you should already know that you would need to have something additional in your pocket, beyond the standard cost, in order to entice someone to "negotiate" with you. No party is going to negotiate something if there isn't anything on the table to negotiate.

There's a PDF of a travel agency reference for AirPass on the internet. In it, it says:
When available, Same Day Flight Change (SDFC) may be offered complimentary on AirPass bookings. PlanAhead tickets are exempt from the $75 SDFC charge.
