The issue being discussed above is when you're on an AA codeshare paid flight, i.e. AA 9876 operated by Air Tahiti Nui.
Correct... you actually get better benefits booking with miles through AA than with a paid AA codeshare ticket, because AA books the TN segment with a TN flight number.
At 80k miles each way for MilesAAver J, I suppose it’s a somewhat costly redemption for that benefit, but it’s one of those cases, which can happen from time to time, where a mileage ticket is actually better than a paid ticket.
