Notably, AA does not collect carrier surcharges for award travel on any carrier except BA and IB.
It varies how far in advance I book but it is not v often for ultra long haul as my RTW tickets usually cover that.
I have used Avios often for partner travel eg QF to OZ and use them within Europe for short/medium haul travel
