What Is American Airlines Vacations?
Similar to other vacation booking portals, such as from Alaska, Delta, and Southwest, American Airlines Vacations allows travelers to book vacation packages with flight and hotel elements, often with a good discount.
While any traveler can book a package, AAdvantage members will earn miles on the entire package price, including the hotel stay, but not on taxes and fees. Regular AAdvantage members earn 1x mile and 1x Loyalty Points per dollar spent on the vacation package. All AAdvantage elite status members earn 5x that amount: 5x AAdvantage miles and 5x Loyalty Points per dollar.

Our Take
If you're planning a vacation and want to earn extra AAdvantage miles, you might want to consider booking your package through American Airlines Vacations. As with any vacation booking portal, you'll want to determine if you're getting the best deal and rewards through the platform versus booking each component separately. These portals are convenient but not always the best option.
