Never a problem. Of course I started booking at 12:00 AM 331 days out.

Are you saying you have, for 30 years, gotten this same award? Or any award on the exact date you wanted to fly? If so, you have been a lot luckier than others (incl. yours truly).
You could book a less desirable award now and then keep looking... or let one of the many award search tools do the looking for you. Awards can be canceled/refunded without fee, which is a wonderful benefit.
Yes, I am sayingI have NEVER had to use more than 145,000 miles for a business class lay flat bed flight to or from NY to Ogg. Flights loaded within a few days if not immediately. Well known that you must plan way ahead when going or returning on that route. After all, Maui is wowe.
“We live in unprecedented times” Does that mean that American AAdvantage has gone from first to just slightly better than Delta Skymiles?
