Best use of AB miles in the US
What's the best use of AB miles within the US? I'm new to the topbonus program and I'm not sure what availability they offer for redeeming within the US. Do they charge large surcharges for flights on AA?

No high fuel charges, AA is your best bet.

EY
Or use it on EY, but J class is almost non-existent.

But only out of AUH, else pretty nasty fuel surcharges.

It seems like there is no YQ if you depart in the US. But EY only release Y class to AB on those long-haul flights.

Didn't know that. Thought the only way to redeem AB on EY less YQ is departing from AUH.
