Anyone who travels AA should look at the whole press release, but a couple of highlights (or lowlights, as the case may be)

1) Another reason to book directly with the airlines. Basic economy seats will NOT get any FF miles if not booked directly with the airline. Even other seats MAY not get FF miles, if you don't book directly. I personally NEVER use 3rd party sites to book myself. If something goes wrong, then you could have an issue.

2) Checked bag fees went up yesterday, for all new bookings. Checked bags will be cheaper if booked and paid for online.
