Wednesday marks the end of an era in the world of airline loyalty programs.<\/p>\n

Though it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, American Airlines has just become the final major U.S. carrier to drop its saver award charts \u2014 a move it first announced was coming late last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Going forward, AAdvantage redemptions for travel on American will be exclusively priced dynamically, allowing the airline to adjust the award rate for any given flight.<\/p>\n

While that may be good news for American’s bottom line, it certainly stings for flyers who like to maximize their points and miles and enjoy the predictability of an award chart.<\/p>\n

That said, the introduction of “Flight Awards,” as American now calls them, may not actually change redemption patterns all that much, especially given how widespread the carrier’s now-retired “Web Special” awards have become.<\/p>\n

Read on for all the details of American’s big AAdvantage update.<\/p>\n
