Is this issue only for premium cabin award space or for all Etihad award space (including economy)?

@ Angel -- Yep, though I assumed it was a typical availability discrepancy, which does happen. American only issued a memo about it yesterday.

Lucky,

I'm surprised you have not been blogging about your kickstarter more. I think there are probably a lot of people who would be willing to kick in more to get you over the hump. They just need a reminder.

@ Nick -- No clue, sadly. These outages usually don't last very long. I'll post as soon as I hear of an update.

@ Lucky - speaking of booking problems, happy to report that BA Avios search engine finally was fixed and is not showing Houston to Dallas flights on AA 🙂

P.S. Hard to beat 4,500 Avios for a flight but for this weekend I'm using $52 one-way ticket for HOU-DFW and then an Avios award back.

Anyone have any experience using Etihad miles to book an American flight? I have heard it can be done, but the inventory is very small.

@ GP -- Etihad should have access to all saver level AAdvantage award space.
