It's now less than a month until American's award chart devaluation,which kicks in for bookings as of March 22, 2016 (even if travel is on subsequent dates). That means a lot of people are trying to lock in AAdvantage award tickets before the cost of many awards goes up.
One of the best uses of American miles is for travel on Etihad Airways, and as many awards for travel on Etihad are going up in price considerably. To give a few examples of one-way first class award price increases:-- US to Middle East awards are increasing from 90000 to 110000 miles
-- Europe to Middle East awards are increasing from 40000 to 62500 miles
-- Australia to Middle East awards are increasing from 60000 to 100000 milesEtihad has one of the world's best first class products on their A380s,with their First Class Apartments. They skim these to London, New York, and Sydney,and soon to Mumbai and Melbourne. And it's even fairly easy to redeem American miles on these flights.
