One LAS to BCN milesaver flight came back into system last night but it has a 12 hour layover in Philadelphia. So I'm sticking with my British flight and will keep watching since I can change anytime without a fee.

I was watching one particular route for a September and a January trip. Before the disappearance 3 of the 4 legs were in low season at 12.5 and every day wide open. Now they are all wide open but 15k

As they say, you can’t have your sAAver and eat it too.
Or maybe it’s you can’t have your Saber and Qik too...

Try both both AA award booking engines. Frankly if you’re talking about a 2.5K mile difference these days then you lead a pretty good life as far as award travel goes.

Have not read thru this thread, but..... I think the stews pushing AA credit cards on flights should be arrested for fraud. I'm looking for a flight to FLL next month and cannot believe what I am seeing.....at any price in miles. It was horrible a month ago. Today it is ultra horrible. AA lifetime plat that flies only when walking is not practical. I'll buy coach tickets on AA because I can get a decent seat. All F purchases go to a different airline. I know they're all worthless for redeeming miles, but watching US Air destroy the goodwill built by AA hurts (a lot).
