MileSAAaver award flights - is AA doing away with them?

Is American airline going to be doing away with MileageSaver flights ?
They don't list any going to Buenos Aires EZE Dec-Jan-Feb-March-April-Mat-June OR July
I have been traveling with MileageSaver for Many years.
Big pus to Sell Lot of Miles $$$$$ - Started Web Special Award - Something just don't smell right.
Has anyone else noticed this?

AA hasn't gotten rid of MileageSaver awards. However, AA usually does very well on flights to EZE and with the uncertainty of Covid, they probably aren't even sure of what equipment they will end up using. If they end up deploying a 788 with just 20 J seats, they may not need to make many discounted award seats.

But generally speaking, yes, milesAAver awards are largely going by the wayside with web special dynamic priced awards the new norm.

Just because u can’t find space doesn’t mean they are going away. Yes they are limited but are needed for partners. many tons the web specials are a better deal anyways.

I think the OP is on to something, there was a lot of saver availability to Europe up to a 2-3 days ago (I was tracking and holding flights), but they have removed it, either because of Black Friday sales or because they anticipate more travel with the vaccine...I see this as an AA nasty BF surprise...

Is EZE even accepting international passenger flights? I though Argentina was locked down tight except for returning citizens/residents. AA is running flights there but for cargo/utilization/crew purposes only, I thought.

Anyone can go according to the 11/26/2020 decree (in spanish). "Tomorrow" may be a different story....

Saver availability is back for my TATL itineraries, it must have been a BF or other random thing...
