Agreed. AA Trumps All - Holiday Season
I've been looking all over for "rule buster" seats on all the majors (I have miles on all). AA, across the board, has the most availability. NW the least. United just behind AA. AA seems to let you "rule bust" just about any flight at any time. NW has very limited availability - even when Delta shows something avail, NW says they don't have access to those seats.
