Then you should consider yourself very lucky. I tried to book a Europe-US award and despite seeing availability on united.com on TK and OS, the US agent told me I was limited to LH, UA and maybe US on the dates I was looking - I had her check 1 week out and still no change. I then changed the date and tried another 7 dates and still no luck. She was offering a 3-flight itinerary with 2 connections as opposed to a 1-stop on the carriers I wanted. So, I'm not sure if you got lucky but I certainly didn't. I'm sitting on 250,000+ miles and am trying to use them before the new AA management decides to revise their award charts ala DL and UA.
