AA will sell me a ticket for money on an all-AA coach itinerary but not offer an AAnytime award on that same itinerary (at least not online).

What am I missing? Does it have something to with the number of segments or the degree to which the trip is circuitous? I was under the impression that none of that mattered for AAnytime awards.

Thanks very much,

How does AA route PDX-KOA? I didn't think AA flew PDX-LAX in order to connect in LAX. Do you connect in Dallas? What is the exact route you're looking to book?

Have you tried calling AA to book the itinerary you want?
