From where?
Business class award flights will be extremely hard to get. May be impossible.
3 business class awards on the same flight is ~10 times harder (or other factor)

You can use AA ff miles for award flights on AA, Cathay Pacific CX, Japan Airlines JL, other Oneworld airline & AA non-alliance partner airlines
