Simple Ways to Book Award Flights
00:00:00.000 | I think a lot of people think, "Well, I've got my American Airlines miles, so obviously
00:00:05.320 | the way to search for awards is to just get on aa.com and type in where I want to go and
00:00:11.600 | see what comes up."
00:00:12.800 | There's a couple of problems with that.
00:00:14.220 | One is that you might miss some great opportunities to use your American Airlines miles because
00:00:20.440 | you didn't look at other dates or you didn't look at other cities.
00:00:24.400 | So for example, you might be wanting to fly somewhere far away to South Africa, let's
00:00:29.080 | say.
00:00:30.080 | Maybe you started your search in San Francisco, but the best flight awards might be available
00:00:35.360 | from L.A., and so you might be able to book that first leg separately to get to L.A. and
00:00:41.920 | then get that great award flight.
00:00:43.560 | You wouldn't have seen that if you just get on aa.com and do that simple search.
