Elite status in 2017

New status level

In 2017 you can start earning toward a new level, Platinum Pro, with benefits like:

• Complimentary upgrades on flights within North America and between the U.S. and Central America
• Earn 9 award miles/U.S. dollar (80% bonus)
• 2 free checked bags
• oneworld Sapphire status

I’m sure the many other bloggers will beat this to death. Here is the link to see more.

Most likely the ability to use 500 mile coupons by Ex Plats for Award ticket upgrades may be the most interesting.
