American and GOL expand FFP deal benefits
With expansion of the agreement between the two carriers, American Airlines AAdvantage members now have the ability to redeem AAdvantage miles for flights with Brazilian low-fare airline GOL.
For American and GOL this continues expansion of the relationship begun in August 2008, covering everything from codesharing to a series of frequent flyer enhancements for American's AAdvantage programme members as well as members of GOL's frequent flyer programme, Smiles.
The codeshare agreement was made in December 2009 and is expected to be initiated in the second quarter of this year when all governmental approvals have been received.
