Thanks for responding. So many questions!

This is TOTALLY a newbie question, but does AA ever fly to/from Europe on their own planes? Who else do they partner with for flights to/from Europe? (I'm asking about what other partners they have if I'm not using British Airways in order to avoid their surcharge).

When you say "UA", you mean United, right? (United, which is part of the Ultimate rewards program.) I kind of/but not really, look forward to how to make sure I get as much as I can out of the miles. Oy vey!
