WINTER 2026-27 SERVICE

A family of four flying one round-trip uses 8 segments. At $275 a seat that's $2,200 of locked-in value. The same weekend at peak published fares would have cost $4,000 in tickets.

The Pass covers it. Pick the size that matches how often you'll fly this winter: 10, 20, or 30 segments. Per-seat price is the same.

Segments are transferable. Use them for your family, your friends, your in-laws who never come visit. We won't ask.

Three steps. Cleared for the winter.

From pick-the-airport to wheels-up.

Pick your ramp.

Los Angeles (HHR) is about 55 minutes in the air to Mammoth. Carlsbad (CLD) is about 1 hour 25.

What members actually say.

"I rebooked a Labor Day flight at $255 the week of. Friend of mine paid $480 for the same seat. The Pass paid for itself in three trips."
Megan D.
Pass holder since Winter 2024-25
"We're a family of four. We used 8 segments in one weekend and still had the Pass for next winter. Honestly the only Mammoth math that makes sense."
Mark T.
Hawthorne-based
"The price doesn't move. That's the whole thing. I don't shop fares anymore."

Everything you'd ask at the gate.

How does pricing work?
Two prices coexist. Published fares run $300–$500 per one-way and move with demand. Holiday and storm weekends are the most expensive; low-demand midweek flights are the cheapest. Pass pricing is locked. Winter Pass holders pay $275 per seat (HHR) or $295 (CLD) on every Pass booking, regardless of when you book or how high the published fare climbs. The Pass essentially insures you against demand spikes.
How long is the Winter Pass good for?
The whole Winter 2026-27 season of Mammoth service: November 25, 2026 through April 26, 2027, when winter flights end. Segments and benefits expire April 26, 2027.
What if I don't use all my segments?
Segments don't roll over after April 26, 2027. They are transferable, though, so most members hand the last ones to friends or family before the season ends.
Does the Winter Pass cover summer flights?
No. The Winter Pass covers winter service only, November 25 through April 26. Summer service is sold as its own Pass tier when that window opens, and Winter Pass members get pre-sale access.
Can I change or cancel a flight?
Yes, up to 30 minutes before departure. No change fees. No cancellation fees. No call-center fees.
Is the Pass transferable?
Yes. Book whoever you want into the segments: family, friends, anyone on the reservation.
When do Winter Pass sales open and close?
Sales open Thursday, September 17, 2026 at 12:00 PM Pacific. The allocation is limited and the last window sold out, so when the passes are gone, they're gone. Join the interest list on our homepage to hear about future windows first; members get pre-sale access.
What happens if a flight is canceled?
Your segment goes back in the Pass. You re-book without penalty.
Can I buy more than one Pass?
Yes. Two-Pass families are common; some pool segments across friends.
How does this work with public charter rules?
All AA scheduled flights operate as public charters under FAA Part 135 / 14 CFR Part 380. Full terms are in the Membership Agreement at purchase.
