Looking at them, it looks like the standard PlanAAhead = MilesAAver award. Correct? So I'd order the award, then use the award to book?
Can I put a MilesAAver award on hold, order the BE award, then use it to "purchase" the on-hold award, or is it a different booking process all together?
Well, let's go to the T&C's shall we:
"Once award is redeemed on BusinessExtrAA.com, a confirmation email is sent to the Travel Manager containing an Electronic Authorization Number. The Electronic Authorization includes the Award Code along with an eight character alpha-numeric code. (IE. BX1A/0A1B2C3D) This number should be provided to American Airlines Reservations when you are ready to ticket your award reservation.
To make reservations for award travel: When calling from within United States or Canada, please contact American Airlines Meeting Services at 1-800-433-1790, 7 days a week, from 6:00AM to 12:00midnight, CT. If calling from outside the U.S. or Canada, please contact your local American Airlines Reservations Office. "
