It's only the 11am that has this issue, even though there's clearly X availability on both the CHQ-HEL and HEL-VNO segments. If it was due to the fare, the 8:40pm flight wouldn't work.
Why would married segment logic apply to a flight at a particular time of day?...
Why wouldn't it apply ?
Looking on Expert Flyer for 6 July, searching for CHQ-VNO on AY shows X0 for AA1856 and AY1105 - for the evening departure, there is plenty of award availability on both segments
Checking AA1856 CHQ-HEL on its own and checking AY1105 on its own, there is economy award availability
As such it is correct that AA is booking it as 2 separate awards and charging 25,000 miles
