Hey awardtrail readers, American Airlines just dropped the details on what their AAdvantage program will look like in 2026. While it's a big year for AA (their 100th birthday!), the changes to the loyalty program are actually pretty mild. So, no need to panic and rethink your entire travel strategy just yet! Think of these updates as a light refresh. They're tweaking things slightly, but nothing earth-shattering. Specific details on status requirements, benefits, and other program elements are now available.
