FORT WORTH, Texas — Adventure awaits this summer with American Airlines — for everyone, regardless of age. And as proof you’re never too young to start exploring the world, American Airlines is celebrating Frequent Flyer Day with a unique gift, offering 100,000 AAdvantage® miles to the first baby born on May 1, 2025.
Frequent Flyer Day on May 1 honors the most loyal travelers who fly around the world. As the birthday of the AAdvantage® program, May 1 celebrates the 44th year American customers have been able to earn and redeem miles in the world’s first frequent flyer program launched by a mainline carrier.
“Before even taking their first step, the first baby born on Frequent Flyer Day is ready to travel the world with the gift of 100,000 AAdvantage® miles,” said Scott Long, American’s SVP of AAdvantage. “We are excited to expand our AAdvantage® family with the addition of this little one into our program as we celebrate the millions of members making a lifetime of family memories with American across the world.”
Enrolling kids in the AAdvantage® program means they will start earning miles on every family vacation which they can redeem for future travel. Parents and legal guardians can easily enroll their child online.
To enter, parents with a bundle of joy born on May 1 are invited to post photos on X/Twitter with the exact time of birth (with time zone), and tag @AmericanAir in the post with the hashtags #AAdvantage, #FrequentFlyerDay and #promotion to be entered in the promotion. (No purchase is necessary. See the terms and conditions for the promotion.) Upon verification, the winning baby will enjoy 100,000 AAdvantage® miles, which will be added in their new AAdvantage® member account.
Since the 2025 qualification new year launched on March 1, millions of members are enjoying more benefits as they unlock their own rewards before, between and beyond status levels. As the longest-running airline loyalty program, American is continuously evolving the AAdvantage® program to enhance the entire travel journey for members. Travelers can join for free to start earning toward benefits.
