Your best bet is to call them all the time you think of a routing that suits you. And then repeating it everyday till you get lucky or bored ;-)
If you see something at savers award on UA/AP then it should be available. It seems like A3 has a glitch to book premium saver award. The example I provided above shows that other *A carrier might be blocking A3 to book the their ticket temporary.
If you tell the agent that it is bookable using other FFP miles, they will give you a call back within 12 hrs regarding to the flight. However, by that time the premium seat might be gone...
