So like i said, I found a direct AA flight on the the 26th on Avios but it's charging a $286 fee & taxes. Now when I go to aa.com and try to find the same flight, it only gives me that flight for 60k miles (not 30k) and $85 taxes. Hence it comes to the same thing. I wonder why they would give out seats to Avios but not have any 30k seats available. I'll check on united
