Can I use FF miles LAX_RNO?
I'm trying to book a multi leg flight on mileage. Website is saying no flight from LAX-Rno or RNO-LAS...if I go on paying fare there are fares. Are there no FF flight from LAX-RNO or RNO-LAS. I'm looking for 12/06 so I would think there would be at least 1 seat.

Be prepared. Many here will think you have sanity issues for wanting to use award miles on a pretty inexpensive ticket.

Went back and read the 3 week old thread and it looks like you're right gemac I need to call AA. Whether or not I will have to pay a phone charge is yet to be seen.

Horizon
The LAX to RNO and back is a Horizon Airlines codeshare out of terminal 3. That may be why it doesn't come up.

That said, at under $200 all-in, I'd still buy the ticket over using 25k miles.
