I more often than not find AA award tickets for TATL travel are cheaper in miles (and money) than travel between the same O/D using DL award tickets. The gap has only grown in the past 20 months so as to devalue DL miles relative to AA miles when it comes to TATL redemptions for less miles (and/or less money).
