As most of you probably know by now,American AAdvantage will fill a enormous award chart devaluation for bookings as of March 22, 2016. These were announced as part of their 2016 AAdvantage changes.
The cost of many of my favorite awards is increasing significantly, and in some cases by 60%+.
Award prices are based on when you ticket your reservation,and not based on when you actually fly. That's why a lot of people are locking in award tickets now, in hopes of changing them later to a more convenient date while preserving the aged price.
In early January I wrote about strategies for locking in AAdvantage awards at the aged levels, or then posted a follow-up with further clarification from American.
The post Strategy For Booking Pre-Devaluation American Awards appeared first on One Mile at a Time.
