I can't tell if my plans are too far out or if it's just really hard to locate tickets (either milesaver or anytime tickets).

What is the best way to research possible trips?

Thanks!
AAnytime awards are always available on AA flights, as long as there is a seat available for sale.

What routes/dates have you been looking at? AAdvantage miles can also be used on AA's numerous partner carriers, but you cannot check partner award-seat availability on aa.com: you must call AA for awards on partner carriers.
