Need help looking for Web Specials

Forum search wasn't successful. Will someone be able to direct me to a post/threat where I can find out how to search for AA Web Specials? Or, is it just one of those things where you find it if it is available in your routine search?

Basically, I am tired of not traveling and want to make a few booking to keep my spirits up. I don't care where I go as long as it involves many hours on a plane. Hence the desire to see the farthest I can go comfortably with the least amount of miles.

They will come up as part of a routine Round Trip or One Way search. I've noticed that AA has been making them available sporadically throughout the year.

Like there will be a month or two without much available, then they open the floodgates for a week or so. At least this is what I've been seeing on a lot of INTL routes.

Right now, they've dried up for the routes that I've been looking at, but if the pattern holds, I expect them to release a bunch more eventually.

Just search for awards for a specific trip and it'll show you the lowest available price in miles, whether Web Special or otherwise.

Looking forward. Thank you.

I have been trying to search only for flights over 14 hours.

Found one NYC-HKG. But then AA pulled the DFW-HKG sector and redeposited my miles. Nothing available since then.
