I'll try and maintain it a bit if that helps anyone, but since the 'qualifying' routes change quite quickly that may prove difficult
. Let's see how we go...
I spot checked a couple on ITA, and they seem to price pretty well (although I'm still learning what is any good)! For example 31-AUG-2105 LAS-ORD-MIA (AA2184) @ £269.
That's good. I would re-iterate the difference between AA and US however. US is generally a good option in the above table, in many cases AA would be services to avoid. So your £269 is only going to get 120 TPs. As a general rule, ORD and DFW are bad news for TPs on AA, with the exception of DFWs Hawai'i services, though it's an extra long flight from there anyway so I'd not recommend those nothwithstanding the better aircraft from there.
