Currently that is 4 x55000 AA miles, which would increase to 4 x 70000 AA miles with changes, meaning a 60000 miles increase ouch!

If I wait till March next year, and book 4 x J award seats for Hkg-Jfk in Feb 2017 (furthest out I can book), can I then wait til 4 months later, and change them (without any $ or AA miles cost) to July 2017? Any restrictions in doing that....eg ticket must be used / flown within 12 months of original booking date (in this case booked in March 16)?
You have to complete travel on the award within 1 year of date of issue - if you make the booking on 1 Mar 2016, all travel must be completed by 28 Feb 2017
