If you’re like most golf travelers, you pay very close attention to airline travel rewards programs. You take notes about the carriers that charge extra to travel with clubs. At the same time, you take similar notes about airlines that cater to your golf lifestyle, like American Airlines.
Being rewarded for the money you choose to spend can go a long way to earning your loyalty. American Airlines gets this.
First, American Airlines passengers do not have to pay oversized baggage fees when traveling with their golf clubs. It’s a very simple benefit that some airlines overlook and can often drive golfers away. On top of that, Platinum Pro level (and above) travelers aren’t charged for overweight bags up to 70 pounds, a significant bump from the 50-pound limit for other passengers. American’s philosophy is simple. As you look for ways to elevate your golf game, American looks for ways to elevate your travel experience.
