Above and Beyond employee recognition program

The Above and Beyond program is your opportunity to help us recognize those employees you feel have gone out of their way to help you.

*Purchase GoEnvoySleeper upgrades for $300 on the day of departure at the airport in PHL and CLT (or in your European departure city). We provide advance seating assignments for you and a guest when you request an Envoy Sleeper upgrade.

**Chairman's members receive 4 one-way e-certs that can be redeemed for travel to Europe/Hawaii (2 for member, 2 for companion). Certain terms and conditions apply and can be found on the Chairman's Preferred page.

***We issue a complimentary Club membership to members who fly 150,000 (or more) miles or 150 segments in a calendar year.
