Invest in an Expert Flyer account. AA revenue management screws up every now and then, releases a bunch of premium saver awards, EF will let you know if/when something of interest becomes available.
thanks, will look into that. Lie flat outbound is not a deal breaker. What sucks is AA's website that tells you business award is available, but then gives you mixed cabin.
