LAX TO ROR or LAX to MLE
Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and hoping to get help as AA customer service is useless. I am looking to take my dream trip before my miles get devalued any further. I am trying to get to Palau or Male, Maldives first or business class. I have 590K miles saved up over the last decade.
I know JAL is oneworld and they do travel to Palau, yet AA customer service saying they have no trips to ROR.
Has anyone successfully used their AA miles to travel to either of these locations.
Thanks in advance !

JAL only flies to Palau on a charter basis. No awards will be available. Oneworld does not fly to ROR on a scheduled basis.
Male is easier, you have Qatar from DOH, Etihad from AUH, BA from Gatwick, Cathay Pacific from HKG, SriLankan from CMB, and possibly others I am forgetting.
Folks redeem to MLE frequently, I did for 2 people this summer on Etihad.

Welcome to FlyerTalk.
For Palau / Belau, you can get as far as GUM on AA miles, and from there purchase a UA (ex-"Continental Mike") flight.
We will soon merge this into the MileSAAver Help Desk thread. /Moderator

Palau is the most beautiful place on earth, IMHO, so I wholeheartedly support your ambition! Delta used to have a connection NRT-ROR, but it seems to have disappeared. But both Korean and Asiana have flights from Seoul, in case it's easier for you to piece together an award flight there.
