1. When booking an explorer award, can I select flights that are only available via AAnytime awards (but not MileSAAver)?
2. Is the occasional economy segment allowable on a business award?
1. No, only MileSAAver is valid
2. Yes, it is allowed. If you want 15 segments in economy and 1 segment in biz, I'm sure AA would be happy to charge you the biz price

. Happens frequently for those booking awards in first, when not all flights offer first. Then, flights must be booked in biz or economy.
