An inside look at American Airlines' $250K lifetime pass, which grants first class travel

www.dailymail.co.uk, July 1, 2023
The American Airlines executives quickly learned that offering a ticket that allowed unlimited first-class travel for life was a bad idea. The $250,000 AAirpass, which was launched in 1982 as a way to raise funds during a company's crisis, was every traveler's aspiration. It offered limitless first class tickets to the holder, who could pay more than $150,000 for a companion ticket. Mark Cuban, a billionaire Shark Tank investor, purchased one for the first time in his career. Willie Mays, a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame, and computer magnate Michael Dell were given a pass. The amount that the few-dozen customers who bought the passes would use is what AA bosses didn't seem to be. In just 25 days, one made 16 round-trips to London, worth $125,000. In 25 years, the two airlines have combined 10,000 flights. In a year that amounted to 1.46 million miles and would have cost $2.4 million, a third took 373 flights in a single year.

Kevon Looney was gifted a wide-open dunk when they were wrong - and the five Warriors lined up on the other side to inbound the ball - but the final score would be the difference.
