Starting today, American Airlines will change its boarding groups. Specifically, American Airlines AAdvantage members without elite status will now board in Group 6 even when flying on a basic economy ticket.
I looked at this news when American Airlines announced it yesterday but didn’t think much of it. After all, I have Executive Platinum status, so I usually board in Group 2. Even if you don’t have elite status with American Airlines, you likely have a cobranded American Airlines credit card that will let you board in Group 4 or 5.

Platinum Pro will become Oneworld Emerald, previously Sapphire, allowing members to access both first-class check-in and lounges instead of business. Eligible members can choose from several Elite Choice Rewards.
