Our benefits at a glance

Health insurance.

First, learn more about your options before you choose the health benefits that work best for you and your family.

• Medical coverage . We provide several options with different monthly contribution rates and copays, including our DFW ConnectedCare plan just for team members residing in the DFW area. Certain geographies have an HMO option as well.
• Prescription drug coverage is included with all medical plans, so you’re automatically enrolled no matter which medical option you choose. CVS Caremark administers our prescription drug program . You’ll also have access to Staywell Rx for free or discounted medicines and supplies to manage asthma, blood pressure and diabetes.
• Dental coverage. We offer two different levels of coverage through MetLife Dental.
• Vision coverage. Wear eyeglasses or contacts? EyeMed administers our vision plan .
• Spending accounts. You’ll find several different pre-tax health spending account options you can use to pay for eligible out-of-pocket medical expenses, as well as a dependent care flexible spending account for certain childcare and eldercare costs.

Income Protection

Next, consider whether you and your family need additional income protection in case of disability or death. American provides basic term life insurance coverage at no cost for all team members, but you can choose to purchase additional life and accident insurance as well as optional short- and long-term disability coverage . Plans and costs vary by workgroup.

Finally, be sure to check out the Added Benefits that help you navigate life and all of its twists and turns. From pet insurance to legal plans to critical illness insurance, we offer a broad range of extra benefits to make life a little – or a lot – easier.

Enrollment deadline and eligibility

Enrollment deadline .

You have 60 days from your date of hire to enroll in the majority of our benefits. It’s important to enroll or waive benefits coverage within those 60 days, as you will be automatically enrolled into the Core medical option otherwise.

Don’t worry about doctor’s appointments or emergencies that happen after you begin working but before you enroll in coverage — our medical, dental and vision plans are retroactive, meaning any eligible costs you incur before you make your enrollment choices will be reimbursed under your plan’s coverage .

For Added Benefits , your enrollment window varies. Some benefits, like pet insurance and identity theft protection, you can enroll in at anytime. Others, like critical illness insurance and legal plan, limit your enrollment window to within 60 days of hire or a qualifying life event .

Dependent eligibility

To find out who can be included on your benefits coverage as a qualified dependent, read our eligibility guidelines . Once you’ve enrolled dependents in coverage, you’ll be asked to submit documentation to verify their eligibility .

A 24-hour nurseline and Doctor-on-Demand round out our health benefits to help you and your enrolled dependents find the care you need, anywhere and around the clock.

Staff travel information

We recommend rechecking AA flight loads 24 hours before the flight's departure, as loads can change drastically with the addition of revenue standby passengers at that time.

The employee is responsible for ensuring that any of his/her eligible nominees travelling under staff travel agreements are aware of all the requirements that apply to standby travel. Any reference to employee below shall be deemed to include employees, retirees and their respective eligible nominees where applicable. Employees are responsible for checking embargoes before travel. Issuance of a ticket and/or creation of a listing do not guarantee that an embargo does not exist.

Please limit checked and carry-on baggage to the number and size allowed for revenue customers. You may have:

One (1) carry-on item One (1) personal item (purse, briefcase, laptop, small backpack, or other similar items) You may check two (2) bags free of charge per person on all domestic and most international flights.

The maximum baggage size is 50 lbs. and 62 inches (length + width + height). Strollers and car seats are exempt from excess baggage fees and do not count toward your allowable total. If you exceed the free baggage allowance, you will need to pay the same excess baggage charges (www.aa.com/i18n/travel-info/baggage/checked-baggage-policy.jsp) our revenue customers pay for any bags above the free allowance, overweight or oversized.

For most of us, being comfortable in flight extends to the clothes we wear. American doesn't have a prescribed dress code for our non-revenue guests. So, as long as your clothing is neat and clean and doesn't offend or distract, you're good to fly in any class (including premium cabins). If you're looking for more specifics, here are a few:

When we say offensive or distractive, we mean you shouldn't wear anything that's overly revealing (like super short shorts or something that is sheer or see through). That also extends to swimwear or sleepwear (of course it's always okay to change into your American-provided pajamas if you're lucky to snag a First Class seat on a premium international flight!)

It also means to avoid any attire that is vulgar or violates community standards of decency When in doubt, ask yourself, "Do I blend in with customers?" If so, you're probably set If you're traveling for the company, business or business casual clothing is encouraged.

And, jumpseat riders should consult their operating department, Flight Manual or leader for dress guidelines. Unless travel requires that a company badge be worn (like travel when occupying the jumpseat), team members and retirees should not wear company or security badges when traveling non-revenue or on a confirmed space business ticket.

Flight listing is required for all standby passengers. Passengers without a flight listing will be denied check-in. Jump seat listings can be made through myidtravel.com/myidlisting or 1-888-weflyaa option 4.

Flight listings must be made at least 48 hours in advance of travel for international flights and 12 hours in advance for all other flights.

• If you purchased your eZED ticket through myIDTravel and your ticket number begins 001 (American ticket stock) a listing is made automatically at the time the ticket is issued. No further action is necessary.
• If you purchased your ZED ticket through myIDTravel and your ticket number does not begin with 001 (i.e., it begins with your own airline ticket stock number) or if you purchased your ZED ticket from your airline directly, you must still create a listing through myIDTravel by selecting the Existing Ticket/Book or List for Flights tab on the myIDTravel screen.

CONTACT YOUR AIRLINE PASS BUREAU TO OBTAIN THE APPLICABLE USER ID AND PASSWORD

Your ticket is valid on any American and American Eagle flight in the market ticketed, regardless of the flight number and/or date shown on the ticket, within the 90 day validity of the ticket. It is not necessary that you create a listing for each flight on which you think you'll attempt to travel.

Your sponsoring employee/retiree is responsible for checking flight availability and creating your flight listing at least 72 hours prior to departure.

Once you have been flight listed and receive the PNR details, you can:

Ask your sponsoring employee/retiree to check you in on our travel system and email your boarding pass or Priority Verification Card (PVC) to you. Use the self-service machines available at most airports to check your bags and receive the Priority Verification Card (PVC) up to 24-hours prior to departure. A credit card is usually required for identification purposes only. If no self-service machines are available you may check in with an agent. When checking in with an agent, please note:

First class/Business class/Premium Economy class Check-In lanes are for revenue customers only. You should introduce yourself as a non-rev traveler. Once you've been checked in:

You will receive a Priority Verification Card (PVC) to enter through the security checkpoint. Please enter through the Main security lanes, unless you have TSA pre-check printed on your PVC. You may obtain gate and time information at www.aa.com or by calling 800-223-5436. Upon reaching the departure area for your flight, please take a seat and wait for your name to be called by the gate agent. Please do not attempt to use company phones or computers. If time permits and you are an Admirals Club member, feel free to visit the club prior to your flight. When you are accommodated for a flight, we ask that you board the aircraft when directed. Be prepared to gate check your roller board carry-on if the flight is full. Once onboard:

Place your personal item underneath your assigned seat to assist with luggage space. Non-rev travelers should not ask for special services or considerations, such as complimentary food items or alcoholic drinks. Exception - If you require medical aid during flight please advise a crew member. If you are not accommodated on your desired flight the agent will roll you over to the next flight. If you need assistance with an alternate option please contact your sponsoring employee/retiree prior to asking the gate agents for assistance.

For space-available (or 'standby' or 'subload') personal travel, employees may check in up to twenty four hours before departure at an airport ticket office. To allow for added security procedures, employees must check-in no later than 60 minutes for domestic travel and 90 minutes for international.

You may check-in at American's Economy class counter only.

You will be automatically checked in on all down-line flights, provided all segments are contained in a single PNR. You will not need to check-in again at connecting AA cities.

Employees of other airlines (except OneWorld) and their eligible travelers will be accommodated on American at priority 'ZED', after American's own employees and their guests on personal travel.

Boarding will be based on time of check-in. Date of joining will not be a factor.

If American is not able to accommodate you on the flight requested, our agents will 'roll' you to the next American operating flight. You will retain your original time of check-in for processing from the priority list.

Thank you. You refund request will be processed by American as soon as possible. Please note that once processed, the refund may not post to your account right away, it can take up to two billing cycles for it to appear, depending on the credit card used and the credit card company's processing procedures.

Banned From Russian Airspace, U.S. Airlines Look to Restrict Competitors

Because of the war in Ukraine, U.S. carriers have to take the long way on flights to and from Asia, giving an advantage to foreign rivals flying the same routes.

• Share full article

By Kate Kelly and Mark Walker

WASHINGTON — Unable to fly through Russian airspace because of the war in Ukraine, U.S. airlines are stepping up a lobbying campaign on Capitol Hill and at the White House to address what they say is a growing problem: They are losing business to foreign competitors who can take passengers between the United States and Asia faster and more cheaply.

Effectively banned from the polar routes that save time and fuel between the United States and an array of destinations on the other side of the world, U.S. carriers say they are being forced into an aeronautical version of Twister to get passengers where they want to go without taking undue risks.

They have altered trans-Pacific flight plans to ensure they would have somewhere to land in an emergency, reduced passenger and cargo loads to hold down costs as they fly longer distances, and put on hold more than a dozen planned new routes to Mumbai, Tokyo, Seoul and other cities.

On its route from New Delhi to New York City, American Airlines has been forced to stop flights in Bangor, Maine — an hour and a half short of the mark — on 19 occasions, a person familiar with the recent history said. Those stops, which were typically caused by unfavorable winds or weather that depleted the jet fuel supply and ran out the flight crew’s duty hours, delayed passengers and forced a swap-out of 14 pilots and flight attendants.

Those flights were already operating with dozens of the seats deliberately left unfilled, the person added, because less weight on board was required to make the fuel last as long as possible.

Yet many foreign airlines are not banned from flying over Russia, U.S. airlines and their lobbyists say — and are winning more passengers on routes to and from the United States as a result. Continued access to the shorter and more fuel-efficient routes that Russian airspace provides is giving carriers like Air India, Emirates and China Eastern Airlines an unfair advantage, the industry lobbying group Airlines for America said in a recent presentation on Capitol Hill.

Airlines for America estimated the lost annual market share of U.S. carriers at a collective $2 billion per year.

“Foreign airlines using Russian airspace on flights to and from the U.S. are gaining a significant competitive advantage over U.S. carriers in major markets, including China and India,” the presentation, dated February, said. “This situation is directly to the benefit of foreign airlines and at the expense of the United States as a whole, with fewer connections to key markets, fewer high paying airline jobs” and a dent in the overall economy.

U.S. airlines for years had access to Russian airspace through a series of agreements with Moscow. In exchange for that access, they — and other foreign airlines — paid fees to the Russian government for air traffic control support that amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars per year, according to an airline official and an industry advocate.

But after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last year prompted government officials in the United States, Britain, Canada and Europe to ban Russian aircraft from flying over their airspace, President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia immediately prohibited the United States and other supporters of Ukraine, including Canada and much of Europe, from flying through his skies.

Now airlines are pressing the White House and Congress to fix the problem by subjecting foreign carriers from nations not already banned from Russian airspace to the same restrictions applied to U.S. airlines, effectively forcing them to fly the same routes as their American competitors.

The Biden administration should “take action to ensure that foreign carriers overflying Russia do not depart, land or transit through U.S. airports,” said Marli Collier, an Airlines for America spokeswoman.

The proposal appears to have gained traction with the Transportation Department, which recently drafted an order that would ban Chinese carriers that fly passengers to the United States from flying through Russian airspace, according to three people who were briefed on the order. The order was presented to a group of Biden administration officials, including members of the national security team, on Monday, two of those people said, and has been under consideration this week along with other proposed policy measures.

Transportation Department officials declined to comment. But national security officials are mindful of the potential diplomatic consequences of steps aimed at a longtime ally like India, or of adding further tension to the already strained relationship with China.

A spokesperson at the State Department, which is involved in an interagency government review of the airspace issues, said the department was aware of the concerns and regards the safety of U.S. citizens on foreign soil as a top priority.

“It’s just unfortunate for our air carriers that this has been a collateral issue,” said Manisha Singh, a former assistant secretary for the bureau of economic and business affairs at the State Department who now runs a consulting firm in Washington. “I think we should do anything we can,” she added, noting that the United States should “be careful” before taking steps that might offend foreign countries and affect U.S. tourism and commerce as a result.

Representatives for Delta, American, and United Airlines, the domestic carriers most involved in the lobbying effort, referred questions to Airlines for America, which praised a recent letter by Senate Foreign Relations Committee members to Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg echoing the group’s talking points.

“When foreign airlines overfly Russian territory, even if they do not expect to land on Russian soil, they run the risk of unplanned diversions in Russia for safety, medical, mechanical or more nefarious reasons,” wrote Senator Bob Menendez, Democrat of New Jersey, the panel’s chairman, and Senator Jim Risch of Idaho, its senior Republican. The State and Transportation Departments have not yet responded to the letter, according to someone who has been briefed on the exchange.

Representatives for Air India declined to comment, and representatives for Emirates and China Eastern did not respond to requests for comment.

Arjun Garg, a former chief counsel and acting deputy administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration, said the Biden administration has the legal authority to remedy the complaints from U.S. carriers.

Mr. Garg said both the safety concerns the airlines have flagged and the way in which the current regulations have disadvantaged them are serious dilemmas.

“The foreign air carriers get the benefit of shorter flight times, lower costs, less fuel consumption, all those kinds of advantages that are shut off for U.S. carriers by order of the U.S. government,” Mr. Garg said.

At a time when U.S. fliers are already fed up with fundamental issues like cramped seats, flight cancellations and a cascade of service fees, access to Russian airspace may not be the most pressing worry. Depending on winds, air traffic and other factors on any given day, on a 14-hour flight, avoiding Russian airspace can mean less than an hour of extra flying time in some cases. But it can also mean more than two hours.

But the cost differential is notable. As of Wednesday, the outbound leg of an April round-trip journey from New York’s Kennedy Airport to New Delhi’s Indira Gandhi Airport cost about $1,500 and was estimated at 13 hours and 40 minutes on Air India, according to Travelocity. The most comparable flight on a U.S. carrier: a $1,740 American Airlines trip with estimated flying time of 14 hours and 55 minutes.

But Airlines for America and the major carriers it represents are also highlighting security concerns for Americans who fly over Russia, even on foreign airlines. And history suggests there is cause for anxiety.

In 2014, a Malaysia Airlines flight was shot down over Ukraine , killing 298 people. A Dutch court later convicted, in absentia, two Russian separatists and a pro-Russia Ukrainian with murder.

In 2021, a Ryanair flight from Greece to Lithuania was diverted to Belarus , a close Kremlin ally, after officials in that country alerted air traffic controllers to a supposed bomb threat on the plane. Their true purpose, U.S. prosecutors said , was to arrest a dissident journalist who was a passenger by inventing a false safety issue. (The journalist, Roman Protasevich, was recently put on trial in Belarus, and the officials who the Justice Department says organized the diversion have been indicted in the United States and charged with conspiracy to commit airline piracy.)

Last year, the American basketball star Brittney Griner was detained at an airport near Moscow and later sentenced to nine years in a penal colony for carrying vape cartridges of hashish oil in her luggage. She was freed in December .

There are also operational challenges stemming from the longer routes being flown by U.S. carriers.

Delta Air Lines has redrawn trans-Pacific flight maps repeatedly to comply with both U.S. regulations and the Russian overflight ban, according to internal documents and two people familiar with the changes.

F.A.A. rules require that for long flights, commercial planes must always be within 180 minutes of a suitable airport in case an emergency landing is needed (with certain aircraft, which Delta flies, it can stretch to 207 minutes).

But without access to Russia as an emergency stop, Delta’s Detroit-to-Shanghai flights are now being forced to fly near obscure Pacific landmasses like Shemya Island southwest of Alaska. And if the tiny Shemya airport is too full to handle an emergency landing, Delta pilots must divert to an even farther-flung airport like the one on Midway Atoll in the middle of the Pacific, these people said — adding up to an hour and 40 minutes and more than 3,000 gallons of fuel to the journey when the closer stops are not available.

“You can sometimes think of it as a little bit of an obstacle course,” said Jim Higgins, an aviation professor at the University of North Dakota who flew as a commercial pilot for seven years. Federal regulation around emergency landings, while well-intentioned, he added, “does increase the operational complexity.”

During my recent stay at Novotel Moscow City from 9th to 22nd February, I was pleasantly surprised by the warm reception I received from the duty manager Marika. Her friendly demeanor and efficient handling of check-in made me feel welcome and valued as a guest as always. I also want to extend my appreciation to the night manager Maria for her attentiveness and quick response to any requests or concerns I had during my stay. Her professionalism and dedication to ensuring a comfortable experience for guests did not go unnoticed. The F&B Manager Darina and her associate Yulia deserves special recognition for their exceptional service and attention towards the incredible experience. I am extremely glad with the fact that how she is concerned with every details to make the valued guest feel exceptional during the stay. Lastly, I would like to express my deepest gratitude towards Deputy GM Marina for her overall management of the hotel. Her leadership and commitment to guest satisfaction were evident throughout my stay, and I truly felt well taken care of under her supervision.

1. Process of lamp light replacement should be managed more effectively. 2. It is too noisy in the inner rooms - noise from events (bad sound isolation) 3. All other aspects are on the good level.
