US MileSAAver awards now live on AA
Just looked and it seems that AA.com now shows award availability on USAir. Great availability on LAX-PHL non-stops that I checked. Good to see some good news coming out of the merger already!

Just noticed this. Have been shopping for flights tonight. The site's a bit wonky though. Intermittently crashing between searches
**Site working now. Looking at award tickets from Iceland and it blows my mind that I can get from KEF to LGB, my home airport, on one award. I hope US/AA keeps flying out of LGB!

More evidence that Doug Parker is ruining things with this merger!! I blame you DoJ!!! 
Anyway, has anyone noticed if the AA website off-peak awards for US are mirroring the low and medium levels on the US website, or just the low level availabilty?

Also, the 5k miles DMS discount doesn't apply [yet].
Impressive though that things are actually up and running at this level!

I just got off the phone with the CP line after doing a miles booking on some AA/US flights (a single mixed itinerary). The girl on the phone confirmed that only the AA "low" awards are available to them/us right now. So, even though I could see 25k/segment availability when searching on aa.com, only the 12.5k/segment flights were available for me to book with US miles.
Also, the 5k miles DMS discount doesn't apply [yet].
