If nothing can be booked on AA.com as an award ticket, then, nothing can be booked with Business ExtrAA awards.
Also, like with booking any type of awards, award availability is always subject to change.
I ended booking a BX4D AAnytimeŽ Award - Between North America and Central/S. America Zone 1 which costed me 7500 points....there wasn't anything available until april next year under PlanAAhead...the availability of those tickets are gone for sure.
Thank y ou again IncognitoMD for letting us know how to check the available seats for BE awards! ^
