Customers in Dallas/Fort Worth Can Now Receive Fare Specials Directly to Text-Enabled Cell Phones

FORT WORTH, Texas – American Airlines, the world's largest airline and a founding member of the oneworld® Alliance, is making it easier than ever for customers to find out about fare sales – now via any text-enabled cell phone.

New txtSAAver SM fare messages are now available for customers in the Dallas/ Fort Worth market as part of American's first-phase roll out. Customers can sign up to receive a text message with fare sale information and special offers from American each week. The text specials will come from American's weekly NetSAAver® fares, which are sent to millions of customers every Tuesday. American is the first airline to offer this unique service.

To sign up for the service, users will need to log on to www.aa.com/textsaaver, fill in their information and hit “enroll.” Once registered, they will start receiving a txtSAAver message each week.

How It Works

• Customers visit www.aa.com/textsaaver and register to receive txtSAAver messages. Verizon, Sprint, Nextel, Alltel and Virgin customers can also enroll by texting “AA” to the short code 22898 (AATXT).
• Once registered, customers will receive one text message per week, which includes that week's txtSAAver fares as well as an additional special offer from American. Standard messaging rates can apply.
• Customers can then book txtSAAver fares at www.aa.com/txt.

“We're excited to offer customers a new way to receive weekly specials from American,” said Rob Friedman, American's Managing Director – Interactive Marketing. “Our research shows that 80 percent of our customers carry a cell phone, so this is a logical way to reach out to them, providing information they want from the convenience of their phone.”

In addition to great fares, each week American will feature an AAdvantage® frequent flyer program special offer. As part of this program, American has set up Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) content that includes a full list of the week's txtSAAver fares, special offers, flight status and feature - rich media content, including a commercial video.
