Today is February 9, 2016. You have until March 21, 2016 to earn and burn American Airlines miles on its positively cheap award chart.

Some credit card offers in this post have expired, but they might come back.

LAN Airlines is introducing a new nonstop flight between Los Angeles and Santiago, Chile three times per week between October 16, 2016 and March 25, 2017, the South American summer.

American Airlines starts flying between Los Angeles and Auckland daily on June 23, 2016 with a Dreamliner. The American Airlines Dreamliner has no First Class, but Business Class features flat beds in a 1-2-1 configuration so every seat has aisle access.

While American Airlines has sold tickets on the route for months, it hadn't, until today, released any Saver Business Class award space.

Today it opened a ton of space, 2+ award seats in both directions for months at a time.

Japan Airlines has released incredible First Class award space from the United States to Tokyo and beyond that you can book for only 62,500 American Airlines miles.

Between Chicago or New York and Tokyo, two First Class suites are available with miles on most flights for the next six weeks.

How good is Japan Airlines First

In Where to Search Award Space for All American Airlines Partners, I suggest searching Qantas award space on aa.com because aa.com displays Qantas award space.

Don't search Qantas award space on aa.com, at least for the moment.

For a month or so, Qantas award space has not displayed properly at aa.com.

American Airlines is offering a 10% discount and 42,500 bonus miles

American Airlines is releasing a ton of flat bed Business and First Class award space to Paris for two people for Summer 2016. American flies from seven cities to Paris daily over the summer, with easy connections to the seven cities.

Act Now to Save Miles
Right now the awards cost 50,000 miles per person per direction in Business Class or 62,500 miles in First Class. Business Class awards go up in price to 57,500 American Airlines miles one way on March 22, 2016, and First Class goes up to 85,000 miles one way.

I tweeted this deal first from @MileValueAlerts. Follow @MileValueAlerts on Twitter and follow these directions to get a text message every time I tweet from that account. I tweet from @MileValueAlerts only a few times a month because it is designed to be used only for the best and most limited-time deals–like mistake fares–so that you aren’t bombarded by text messages.

Award space on American Airlines flights has been terrible for months if not years.
