JFK-MXP
 

So looking for seats F or J on these flights, I'll be using AA miles what is the best way to look for seats? Dates are Sept 17th (give or take a couple of days) and return Sept 30th (give or take a couple of days.)

I search on their web page and find seats, do I just call AA and hope that the aagent see's the seats?

TIA

I don't believe AA are an Emirates partner. So, you won't be able to use AA miles to book flights.

Wrong forum section perhaps , you will not be able to use AA miles with EK. Unless EK became partners with them overnight ? :D

EK have the JFK-MXP flight though... I'm suspecting the OP has got their Emirates/Etihad airlines mixed up.

May be the OP believes that AA means "Alaska Airlines"...??

Could be a good guess re Alaska..... ?

We don't hear nearly as often about Alaskan awards as we used to here .... not since increased mileage requirements were introduced by EK a while back.

Could be, which would be strange considering they have "AA EXPLAT" in their profile. My guess is they meant to type AS

Sorry I assumed I could use AA miles.

:D:D:D One couldn't make this stuff up! Americans are hilarious (apologies if you're not American, but something tells me you are :P)

YEs, and of course the people of your country all can walk on water.:rolleyes:

A bit rude, no? OP made an honest mistake, no need to make fun of Americans.
I also don't see how this had anything to do with being an American, anyone could have made the same mistake. Not everyone knows all the airline alliances, partnerships etc.

I think it isn't a stretch to expect an upper tier traveler to know the ins and outs of their 'home' program.

But yeah, maybe they got EY and EK mixed up.

Only kidding :)

If this is the sentiment out there I'm definitely sewing a Canadian flag to my backpack (ala the Bush years)

:D only saw this now!
