"Book the award tickets first, to ensure availability, and then book the revenue tickets. They are unlikely to disappear in the few moments between transactions."

On aa.com, one can hold an award reservation for five days before actually finalizing the award booking. So place the award booking on hold, and then book the paid tickets, assuming they are still available at the desired fare.
