Luxury from tarmac to road with American’s Cadillac shuttle

by amit.uniyal 11. November 2014 04:41

The air passengers are habitual to hopping on a shuttle bus after deboarding the flight. But, if a Cadillac is waiting on the tarmac to drop them at the departure gate, it is indeed a welcome sight. American Airlines has collaborated with the luxury car company, Cadillac to shuttle the first class passengers from the tarmac to their next departure gate or to the next airplane at Los Angeles International Airport.

Tarmac

This service is exclusively available for ConciergeKey invitation-only members. ConciergeKey is an invite-only frequent flier club. This ConciergeKey program invitation is available to the Executive Platinum members with an annual flight expenditure of 50,000 dollars or more.

Delta Airlines also uses Porsche to shuttle its premium passengers between flights since 2012 while United Airlines uses Mercedes-Benz for the private transfers since 2013.

Suzanne Rubin, president of American’s AAdvantage Loyalty Program sees this as a great opportunity to offer the ultimate luxury experience for the premium customers. The airline will chauffeur the customers from the tarmac in a Cadillac SRX, CTS or Escalade. The luxury transfer program with Cadillac is only accessible at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) as of now.

The airline plans to expand the service at John F. Kennedy, Dallas/Fort Worth and La Guardia in New York by year end. This plan is yet to be approved. The American’s AAdvantage members can also earn 7500 additional miles after test driving Cadillac at a local dealer. These miles are equivalent to half of the domestic flight cost for one-way.
