Some fares are mileage-based; others are route-specific. You need to check the fare rules of EY's AUH-ORD through-fare to see which kind of fare it is.
What? Why would I check EY's fare rules for AA award booking?

I have never heard of mileage based fares for AA awards. Did I aliens wipe my mind or am I BA forum?

Connection - <24 hours (<4 for domestic)
Stopover - 24 hours (+5 for domestic)
Transit - No such thing in this context. Relates to need to enter a third country on a connection.
Layover - No such thing.
Thanks. I always use connection and layover interchangeably. Thanks to British English schooling.
