TLC Jet private flights earn American Airlines rewards

April 16, 2026

Private charter travel has been linked to the AAdvantage programme, allowing members to accrue miles and points beyond commercial flights.

The move connects private aviation with a major airline loyalty network, giving customers more flexibility in how they earn and use rewards across different types of travel.

TLC Jet has partnered with American Airlines to integrate private charter flying into the airline’s AAdvantage loyalty programme.

The agreement enables TLC Jet clients who are AAdvantage members to earn miles and loyalty points when flying privately, extending the programme beyond commercial airline travel. Customers who are not already members can enrol in the programme at no cost.

Steve Johnson, vice chair and chief strategy officer at American Airlines, says: “Today's travellers are seeking more premium experiences. As a leading premium airline, we're committed to exploring new ways we can elevate the journey for our customers both in the services we offer and those of our partners.”

Justin Firestone, founder and president at TLC Jet, adds: “This partnership bridges two worlds: the flexibility and efficiency of flying private with TLC Jet and the global reach of American Airlines, an iconic airline reaching more than 350 destinations in more than 60 countries. Our mutual clientele can now optimise every dollar spent, whether travelling privately or commercially, while enjoying an elevated travel experience.”
