Huh? AA flies nonstop from LAX to four different Hawaiian islands; nonstop from LAX to SJU and MIA, from which AA offers connections to numerous Caribbean destinations; and nonstop from LAX to LHR. AA's partner, Air Tahiti Nui, flies nonstop from LAX to Paris.

AA offers one-way awards for as low as 20,000 miles in coach to or from Europe, with a free stopover permitted -- if desired -- at a North American gateway city. So, for example, if you were to fly nonstop on an award ticket from London or Paris to LAX, you could stop over at LAX for a day or for several months, and then continue on to Hawaii for no additional mileage charge!

What do you find lacking in these offerings?
