Will I be able to book these through Etihad for 50k a piece, or does it have to be a flight operated by American? I am not seeing any saver available on American operated flights. I have 220k Amex MR points, trying to get 3 biz class tickets PHL to CDG but could also fly out for EWR, BWI, or JFK.

TIA!
BA is not an EY redemption partner. AA will display 57.5K trans-Atlantic Business Class awards operated by BA (with very high carrier surcharges), but those are not bookable through Etihad.

I have not seen a trans-Atlantic Business Class award on AA metal for less than 78K AA miles in a long time. Such awards are obviously not MileSAAvers, and as such, cannot be booked through Etihad.
