Thanks for this post. I had the same question as I’d like to book HND-LAX in mid Jan and was seeing no availability in app. As usual, AA earn is garbage unless bumping to PE, which is actually a reasonable deal at the moment. Comically, as.com routes to aa.com. Perhaps Ben should have a chat with his industry bed partner.

Edit: bupkis on website and in-app for mid Jan KIX-LAX, HND-LAX, NRT-LAX, NRT-SFO, and HND-SFO. Plenty of availability via AA. Disappointing.
