I'm also not sure if you could include Seattle en route to your transpac gateway; the small print in the AAdvantage T&Cs says
(My emphasis.)
which raises in my mind not only your abillity to use AS operated flights, but also JL, since AA flies its own metal over there.
So bottom line I suspect you'll need to pay for any flights to/from MSO, and for that matter possibly the SEA or BOI (for access to MSO) segments as well, if the added routing takes you above the segment limits on the award ticket,
Looks like this is a job for your friendly AAdvantage rep. Good luck.
JAL I can definitely do....I told the EXP agent that I didn't want to fly on AA, but rather JAL to try them.....no problem....it's 125K versus 120K for AA-metal flights.....I've something on hold right now....FLL-DFW-SFO-NRT, and then returning NRT-ORD-FLL. JL, both directions....
Regarding the AS tickets....can't I just get a Y or F award on AS, using AA miles? Surely that would include a flight on their commuter...for the same amount of miles as I'm using now, I could get JL to take me on to Osaka, or anywhere else they fly in Japan, if I wanted
