    "excerpt": "American Airlines AAdvantage has won Best Frequent Flier Program in North America at the 2026 Business Traveler Awards, ahead of Delta SkyMiles and United MileagePlus. This is AAdvantage’s third consecutive victory, a remarkable run for a program that keeps giving American customers reasons to return. Launched on May 1, 1981, AAdvantage was the first frequent-flier program introduced by a major airline. Forty-five years later, it remains current through Loyalty Points, broad partner earning, Oneworld redemptions and reward choices that members can match to their travel. That combination of longevity, flexibility and partner access makes it a strong frequent-flier program even before American completes its upgrades. But AAdvantage’s success can outshine the airline that carries it. American Airlines is making significant strides in its premium offerings, with new Flagship Suites being introduced on Boeing 787-9s and Airbus A321XLRs, as well as on retrofitted 777-300ER aircraft. Philadelphia now features a Flagship Lounge, and select airports provide Flagship First check-in services. Additional enhancements include Champagne Bollinger and K+M Extravirgin Chocolate, cofounded by renowned chef Thomas Keller, adding an elegant touch. When operational issues arise or an older cabin is present, AAdvantage can help maintain the goodwill that may otherwise be strained during the flight.",
