I am holding 5 reservations done this morning from Aug 27-Sept 17. Now, they are all cancelled. I am not sure if I will call Exec Plat desk to restore them since I have no vacations remaining. It would have been nice to re-qualify for Exec Plat easily for about $2K.

I'm curious how the U.S.-based fliers are positioning for these flights. I made a few reservations for these but couldn't come up with an inexpensive positioning flight to get me to AUH. I was on the road for work this week so I couldn't call AA to check EY or QR award availability but have people found award space to position for these flights? A great deal for all those that are able to partake, I'm sorry to be missing out.

If you have miles available, AB has redemption tickets between DUS/TXL to AUH available for most of the days. And it is possible to do a 4-5 hours turn around.

You have to call to get your EY PNR. Even so, I got it yesterday and could not change my seat on the Etihad website. AA might be able to just change them for you if they have access. Otherwise you'll have to call Etihad with your EY PNR.

*Note – Travel ticketed as an American Airlines marketed flight (booked as an AA codeshare flight number) and operated by Etihad Airways (including travel between New York, Chicago, Washington Dulles and Toronto to Abu Dhabi) will earn AAdvantage base miles and elite qualifying miles, points and segments according to the AA earning structure.
So If I have: AA 5997 and AA 6007 "operated by Etihad Airways" - I will earn miles according to the AA earning structure - 100%?
