I just got up to redeemable level (60k miles) and coincidentally I have received recent AA emails about mileage redemption promotion, "as low as 5,000 one way", ending tomorrow.

Neither on that promotion page, nor on aa.com generally, can I find what I really want: an awards calendar based on mileage. From STL. To find out where can I go for those 5,000 one way fares (or 10k or 15k), and on what days? Instead, it makes you start in reverse (put in the destination & date), then it tells you mileage required.

Even without the promotion, I would want it the other way around -- give me some destination/date choices arranged low to high in mileage cost, then I will choose. I don't know the destination or date independent of knowing the mileage required.

Any way to attack a search in the way I want?

I don't know how to search the way you want to, but from STL, I am seeing 5K one-way redemptions to places like NYC, LAX, CUN, and EYW on select Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.

Good start. How are you seeing those? Did you just type in the city pairs STL-NYC, STL-LAX, STL-CUN, STL-EYW? I can do that but it's the hard bangy way to mash this out.

I haven't used this in a long time, so not sure how functional it still is. So long, that being frank, quite surprised I found the bookmark, and it links to a page that still looks valid. I'd forgotten all about it, until the OP's post jogged my memory. It was a handy little tool, when it worked.

You will still have to search by date and origination airport as the default. However, you can set the max miles you want to use. The tool will return routes available within those parameters.

AA does have a searchable award map: https://www.aa.com/awardMap/home.do

It’s one of those things they don’t want people to know about.

Edit: Missed the post above…

Yep.

I just picked some popular destinations, and did a search. But the award-map option sounds promising too.

Go to the bottom of the page, type in STL as the from airport, you can leave the destination empty. It will show results with dates.

I see Miami, LA, Tampa, Dallas, Key West and more.

This is it. Thanks you & CMT.
