Newbie with booking AA miles on JL. Am I correct to call AAdvantage line and have the live agent book an award seat for me using AA miles on JL?
That AA doesn't allow you to use AA mile on the partner flight on their website?
My preferred route is DCA-JFK-NRT (oneway).
If I find available JL3 and available AA that connects to JL3 (find on BA site), then I can just call AA and book this?
I am usually the United/ANA but this time I need to use my AA mile and this is the first time ever booking with AA mile. Thank you in advance.

LHR-MEL [2 awards vs 1]
Looked to get a business AA points redemption from LHR-MEL, but couldn't find one on the date (in April 2016) I need. Called to see if any other airline (not linked to the websites search engine) was available, and they found an Etihad flight with good connection times, but the points required is 75,000. Why is this? If I could go a day earlier, which I can't, with QF, it would be 60000. What gives?

Connection in the Asia 2 airport of Singapore or Bangkok (or possibly in addition, the Asia 1 airport of Tokyo Narita or Osaka) allowed when traveling between Europe and the South Pacific.
Its misleading when the QF option connects in the Middle East. Or perhaps it doesn't with the same flight number.
So why not the asia 2 port of KUL? Strange.
p.s. the point of this thread is clear.

Europe <-> S. Pacific award can be a single award if:
- connecting in Asia1 or Asia2 (published fare allowing)
- taken on the single flight # QF flight that connects in DXB
- using QR connecting in DOH (published fare allowing)
Using EY connecting in AUH is 2 awards, as you found out.

Thanks Jon.
I can get LHR-KUL...I'll see if I can then get an MH flight from there.

AA reward booking on Air Berlin
Hello,
I am trying to book a AA reward through their website to fly from Gdansk to Berlin in first week of July 2016. Unfortunately the availability is shown only to June 30.
What might be a reason for that?
Other Air Berlin flights are bookable for AA miles but not this one.

Maybe AB hasn't released awards yet.

Plus, I believe that EY award tickets are entitled to the chauffeur drive services
I would rate EY better than BA+MH

BA hasn't improved its products on its new aeroplanes - they are just basically the same as on other aeroplanes
Each to their own though

If MH's LHR-KUL flight subsequently opens up for award travel, the OP can switch to that flight and get a refund of the hefty surcharges assessed on the long-haul BA flight.
