TORONTO -- Fairmont Hotels & Resorts announced Feb. 9 that all properties in the luxury chain's portfolio have
enrolled in the American Airlines(R) AAdvantage(R) program, offering American Airlines AAdvantage members special
incentives during their stays.
AAdvantage members will receive double AAdvantage miles for any qualifying stay at all the Fairmont Hotels &
Resorts properties from February 1st through March 31st, 2000. Now with an expanded portfolio as a result of the
coming together of Canadian Pacific Hotels and Fairmont Hotels, and the addition of two new Fairmont Hotels &
Resorts properties, Fairmont Kansas City at the Plaza and The Fairmont Miramar Hotel, Santa Monica, there are 36
ways or quadruple the hotels to double your AAdvantage miles at Fairmont Hotels & Resorts.
"While our US properties have been active participants in the AAdvantage program for a number of years, our
Canadian properties have just begun extending privileges to AAdvantage members. The Fairmont brand has always been
synonymous with exceptional service and customer satisfaction, and to continue that tradition we are offering AAdvantage
member double miles at all of our luxury properties for the next two months," said Brian Richardson, Vice
President of Marketing, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. "The incentive program with AAdvantage is a perfect
combination for our guests, whether they are staying at a Fairmont for business or pleasure, they earn American
Airlines AAdvantage miles toward their next trip."
"We are very excited to have all the Fairmont Hotels & Resorts properties participating in the American
Airlines AAdvantage program," said Bruce Chemel, President AAdvantage Marketing Programs. "The brand's
commitment to the program is a fantastic opportunity for every AAdvantage Member. With 36 luxury hotels and resorts,
located in some of the world's most fabulous destinations, and double miles for every stay during the coming months,
it's an exciting time to stay at a Fairmont."
