But instead of calling and relying on the agent to find you availability from, say, Kansas City to R

However, none of these partner airlines (except Alaska Air) can currently be booked via AA.com.  I get lots of emails from folks who can t find award availability when they search online.  That s because cheap hotel in philippines only American Airlines and Alaska Airlines results show up online and you don t see availability on the many other partner airlines.
You ve got to call AA reservations ( 800-433-7300 ) and pay a $25 fee to book via the telephone.  But paying this fee is worth it, because it opens up so many possibilities when booking award tickets!
But instead of calling and relying on the agent to find you availability from, say, Kansas City to Rome, it is much better to know which partner airlines could get you to your destination.  And even better if you have already found award availability on those partner airlines so that you can feed the flights to the agent to book.  We ll cover this in future posts.
American Airlines partner airlines have outstanding First Class availability as Gary has previously written about.  I ve almost always been able to find 2 or more awards on British Airways and Etihad flights.
Finding an award to a destination is not easy and you have to be flexible.  The airlines don t want to make it easy for you to redeem your miles.  But with a little patience and planning you ll be able to redeem your miles for First and Business class seats which costs thousands of dollars!
This is not a comprehensive list, but rather a list of potential routes and airlines to different destinations and will change.  Please let me know in the comments of any changes and I will update the list.
Also keep in mind that as Lucky has pointed out, American Airlines require the overwater carrier to publish a routing between the origin and destination.   This isn t an issue for most awards, but keep it in mind if you re unable to book an award via the telephone.  I haven t checked if all the routings below have a published route.
2.   British Airways has outstanding availability in First and Business class to London.  British Airways has non-stop flights to London from more US cities than American cheap hotel in philippines Airlines cheap hotel in philippines or any other US airline!:
cheap hotel in philippines Expect to pay $200 to $400 in fuel surcharges each way (so it may not make sense to redeem miles for travel in British Airways economy class), but you will almost always find award seats available.  And from London you can connect to British Airways, Iberia, or Air Berlin flights to the rest of Europe
3.   Iberia from the US to Spain and then connect on Iberia, British Airways, or Air Berlin to the rest of Europe. cheap hotel in philippines Via New Girl in the Air , Iberia now charges a modest fuel surcharge. Key Iberia routes from the US are:
1.   American Airlines or British Airways from the US to London and then either Jet Airways or British Airways from London to India non-stop.  Jet Airways flies to Mumbai cheap hotel in philippines and Delhi from London, and British cheap hotel in philippines Airways flies from London to Delhi, Hyderabad, cheap hotel in philippines Mumbai, Bangalore Chennai
6.   Royal Jordanian from Chicago, Detroit, Montreal, New York to Amman and then connecting to Royal Jordanian, Ethiad, Gulf Air, Jet Air flights to India.  Or use American cheap hotel in philippines Air or partner airlines cheap hotel in philippines to select cities in Europe and then connect on Royal Jordanian to India.
1.   Cathay Pacific from Chicago, cheap hotel in philippines Los Angeles, New York, San Fransisco, Toronto, Vancouver to Hong Kong and from Hong Kong connect on Cathay Pacific (link to Cathay Pacific route map ) to China or Southeast Asia (not Japan).
2.  Japan Airlines from Boston, cheap hotel in philippines Chicago, cheap hotel in philippines Honolulu, Los Angeles, New York, San Diego, San Fransisco, Vancouver to Japan (link to Japan Air route map ) and then connect on either Japan Airlines to other destinations in Asia, or Cathay Pacific to Hong Kong and onto other destinations in Asia.
@Vansh It is the NORTH AMERICAN gateway city, so you can t do A 1) because AUH isn t in North America. You can book 2 1-ways to get A 2). AA miles are better to use and they don t charge fuel surcharges.
@Gary Leff commented at the beginning You cannot fly Cathay Pacific to Japan, because American does not permit transiting "Asia 2″ enroute to "Asia 1″ without spending additional miles for a separate Asia2-Asia1 award. (Connecting in Asia 1 enroute to Asia 2 is not a problem, however.)
