I just CXed a FC award domestic segment (last segment) with UA I didnt CX the tkt I told the csr to simply cx what I was holding,I now have till 5/3/16 to book and complete travel
I think AA can do likewise, you cx the res but dont redeposit the miles and you can use the miles either to BKK within their T&Cs of having to use it or if they allow to another destination.Im not up to date with AAs T&Cs like I am with UAs (my last segment is a domestic one off an Intl tkt, which I last used back to NY back in May)
