American Airlines is making its best free upgrade harder to get

American Airlines is tightening its upgrade rules, making it harder for elite flyers to move from economy to business class on certain long domestic routes, including flights to Hawaii. The change appears likely to reduce premium-cabin upgrade availability for frequent travelers rather than reflect a broader financial shift. Overall, near-term market impact is likely limited.
