Questions:
1. Do you have 45,000 miles each with United & AA? Or total between the two airlines?

2. How many tickets are you trying to book?

Suggestions:

1. Come back a few days earlier. AA.com is showing availability leaving November 19th & returning December 16th. It's 45K miles each way, so you're apparently planning to book one direction with American Airlines & the other with United?

2. Don't call; use the website to search for availability. The calendar at AA.com is pretty good for finding dates around your preferred travel date that have availability.

3. Consider nearby airports, if possible.

4. In the future, if possible, book award travel further out. I'm actually pretty surprised that the availability that exists.
