I am booking a one-way flight on American Airlines using AA miles. I need a departure of 11 March 2015 or 12 March 2015, going from BKK to HSV. The ONLY routing the AA CSR was able to find is:
Mar 11, 2015
CATHAY PACIFIC 706
BKK Bangkok 01:35 AM HKG Hong Kong 05:05 AM
CATHAY PACIFIC 898
HKG Hong Kong 10:15 AM LAX Los Angeles 07:50 AM
AMERICAN AIRLINES 1169
LAX Los Angeles 01:19 PM ORD Chicago 07:26 PM
AMERICAN AIRLINES 2975
ORD Chicago 08:20 PM HSV Huntsville 10:00 PM
in Coach for 35K miles plus taxes and fees.
I searched several options on Award Nexus and didn't find anything at all in Coach. Is there a better option out there using AA miles, USAir miles or Skypesoes [no one way awards
]? Better, in this case, would mean a flight that leave later in the day on 11 March 2015 or 12 March 2015 but doesn't go through LHR, doesn't require a change of airports at a stopover point and doesn't have a 5+ hour layover at night.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I will be purchase the above listed routing on 15 Feb 2015 so as to avoid paying the extra $75 if I buy less than 21 days from flight time.
