CHICAGO -- American Airlines is highlighting improvements in the entire travel journey at the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) 2019 Convention. One of those improvements includes corporate traveler recognition, which is now available on American and its Atlantic Joint Business (AJB) partners British Airways, Finnair and Iberia.

For the corporate traveler
In an effort to deliver simple programs that meet the needs of corporate travelers, corporate customers traveling on flights marketed and operated by AJB partners British Airways, Finnair and Iberia now benefit from preferred seating and priority disruption recovery no matter which airline they fly. Additional enhancements will be available on each carrier by early next year.

"Travelers expect a consistent experience whether they're flying on American or any one of our Atlantic Joint Business partners. With corporate recognition now available on American, British Airways, Finnair and Iberia, we're elevating the recognition, prioritization and benefits that our corporate customers receive at every touchpoint possible," said Alison Taylor, Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Distribution for American. "Simplifying the day-to-day experience for our corporate travelers is one more way we can demonstrate our commitment to being the easiest airline to do business with as we continue to grow and diversify our corporate account portfolio."

Corporate customers traveling on tickets marketed and operated by American and issued using American Airlines Corporate Travel Agreements enjoy complimentary access to Preferred seats through seatselect.aa.com. Complimentary Preferred seat selection will also be available later this year on aa.com and through American's mobile app.

On day of travel, American Airlines corporate travelers receive complimentary Priority Access — the fastest route through the airport. Customers with "Priority Access" printed on their boarding pass should look for "Priority" signs when checking in at American Airlines ticket counters, when going through security and during boarding with Group 4.

Corporate travelers on American also receive higher priority for re-accommodation in the event of operational disruptions including weather events so they are among the first to be back on track in the event a flight is canceled or significantly delayed.

In addition, American also provides corporate offerings that grant corporate travelers access to special leisure discounts on packages through American Airlines Vacations, bundling air and other components like hotels, rental cars, events and theme park tickets.

For corporate travel managers
American's corporate portals are the fastest way for corporate travel managers to access the information they want when they want it. Through SalesLink Services, corporate travel managers can request complimentary Preferred seats and sales or mileage upgrade listings for their travelers, eliminating the need to contact their travel agency or American Sales Support. SalesLink Insights is an interactive tool that helps travel managers analyze performance while providing better clarity into how to meet their goals. Data is visually summarized in reports and graphs with weekly updates to program data.

Coming this fall, the airline will launch a new website dedicated to providing a comprehensive overview of the full breadth of agency, corporate and distribution related products and services available from Global Sales at American.

American plans to continue making improvements to the corporate traveler experience throughout 2019 and beyond.
