Any recent anecdotes of people successfully ticketing LAN awards after a hold of a few days would be immensely helpful!
If I remember correctly from my experience, I think the AA agent said LAN needs the ticket within 3 days. They said they can do a 5 day hold but there wasn't a guarantee the LAN segments would be there after 3 days. I could be wrong, but that's what I remember from a few months ago.
