Wife an I are 5 day reserved DFW/HNL in first milesaver on 8/4/15 due to 2 being available. Only 1 is available on 8/5 which is the date I would prefer.

Opinions as to wether it would be better to book the 8/4 flights and wait to see if a second opens up on 8/5 or should I grab the 1 on 8/5 and book the second as anytime and wait to see if a second milesaver opens on 8/5 and rebook on the anytime to milesaver?

Second option.

Cancel the 2 milesaver first on 8/5 and hope that they are returned to inventory and retold for another 5 days? Would I have any better luck calling AA EXP line and asking for them to retold for another 5 days?

Anyone have any guess as to what the time frame for opening a second milesaver might be?

It is interesting to me that all of the flights have 1 milesaver when the Tuesday flight had 2. Seat management I am sure.

Didn't have this problem 2 years ago when we booked. 2 always seemed to be the minimum available at start.
