Curious about this myself. Have BKK-KUL-DPS flights from 26 and 29 Nov that I'm waiting to see posted. Segments in D and Z, so all should earn on AA. Those factor into my requal for the year, which is coming down to the wire, so I'm anxious for the mileage to show up.

The number of seats due to the size of the aircraft would be a limiting factor...can you have 2 pax traveling 3-4 hours apart?....or perhaps 1 traveling in business?

FYI I worked with EF today to add P U X to Award search - it should now be visible to all.
Note: EF works by individual segment, so while you may see availability on both legs, when the airline prices it as one journey it may no longer exist due to married segment logic.

Question folks. Trying to find availability on BA. MNL-KUL shows availability, so too KUL-LHR. But when I do a search MNL-LHR nothing appears even though the stopover would more than fulfill the MCT at KL airport. What gives? Would AA agents be able to ticket it? Would the taxes and fees also be calculated as a one-way from MNL-LHR?
Cheers.
Cheers.

Qantas was unable to piece the two together for the one I want. Who knows.

Just wanted to share my experience booking Malaysia Airlines today using AAdvantage miles. It was easy ! I saw on EF that there was 1 business partner award available booking code U. I called the Aadvantage Gold service desk. The automated voice came on and they called me back in half an hour. I told the agent the date , flight number, etc and the award was booked without hesitation. From KUL PVG on the a330 in new business class. It was 22,500 miles and $18 tax and fee. 5 1/2 hour flight. Within Asia 2 region. Then I refreshed the screen on EF and the partner award availability updated from 1 available to 0 .

Hello all
I flew TYO-USA on JL.
However, the ticket was sold by and coded as an MH flight.
(MH xxxx flight number Operated by JL xx; Fare class "C").
This flight has not yet posted to my AAdvantage account. I did submit the "missing miles" request...
However, when reading the following on AA.com:
https://www.aa.com/i18n/travel-info/...a-airlines.jsp
That page does not list USA as a destination for MH flights....(of course MH does not fly to the USA.....but, codeshare OneWorld partners do!).
Has anyone had experience with this type of situation? This is a big chunk of EQM's / EQD's....hoping I can get them!

I am guessing no updates on this yet?
Were there other segments on MH with the same booking, and if yes did those post?

I could not select seats on JL via any avenue ...until I reached NRT...just before my JL flight.
JL is known to do this when their flights are booked as codeshares by other airlines.
If you can deal with not having a seat assignment till you get to NRT...then, go for it.

As of now, the flight I am looking at is operated on a 787-8 so at least there isn't the fear of being stuck in the middle.
