Booking Class for LY Reward using AA Miles
Can someone tell me what booking class I would need to obtain a reward seat on LY using AA miles? It seems that the LY Matmid and AA rewards availability do not match and I'm trying to use Expert Flyer or KVS to find seats. Any ideas?

An AA award in LY Business is X. I'm not sure about Economy. I'm also not certain that EF or KVS will show this to you. EF does show LY native awards.

Now that LY has changed their award bookings to X Class have LY bookings with AA Miles changed their booking class or are they exactly the same now?

I booked LY Business Class tix for my wife and I for FCO - TLV/return, using AA Aadvantage Miles. The ticketless travel receipt showed the booking code to be "X."

I stand corrected for the Economy that is J, but there is no First Award.

Otherwise, you can try cancelling the seats with LY FFP, but there is no guarantee that those award seats will become available again.
