Way to go - EXCELLENT tip! But as I previously stated, there now seems to be very little AS inventory at AA.com. Previously, AS always had saver seats loaded promptly at the 330 day window - when AA loaded them at odd times and sometimes never. But found very limited AS availability at the 330 day window for next Nov.

<<call the next evening 7-9pm EST to add the connecting flight>>

Is this when AS or AA loaded its award seats?

In the old days, AA use to load its award seats sometime after midnight EST daily. I use to get up at 5 or 6 am EST and always get exactly what I wanted for our family of 4 - enjoyed lots of trips to Caribbean/Mexico during Xmas and Easter as well as our summer trips. Ahh, those were the days!

Does anyone know when AA now loads their award seats?
