I think you may be confused: EY charges 20% of the fare for F/J, 10% for Y. AA charges 10% for all fare classes.

You're thinking of Emirates which charges 10% miles only for econ. Try searching for an adult + infant in F using Etihad guest and you'll see the price is just 10% more miles (120k vs 110k) without any insane cash charges

No, I believe I'm thinking about Etihad. See the picture and the infant's price.

That's a paid ticket. I'm talking about a mileage ticket.

I got the same response when I called EY directly and asked how much it would cost to add an infant to my award ticket.

I saw one report of someone paying 10% of the ticket in miles using AA. It was some random comment on a TPG post or something like that

That'd be nice, but I wouldn't trust one TPG comment. AA should charge 10% of the cash fare though.

Agreed, but if their policy is 10% miles on a mileage ticket I wonder if calling them directly may yield something positive.

It's not. AA never charges 10% of the miles.

I paid for 2 AA awards yesterday morning. 1 ticketed this morning, one is still on request. Is that normal? The miles were already deducted from the 2nd, as-of-yet-not-ticketed account.

Yes, especially with EY.

I have two EY award tickets on hold via AA's Australia desk - it has to be purchased by Jan 3. Silly questions - Is that 11:59pm Jan 3 Eastern time or Australian time?

Usually departure city, check your AA hold online and it will say the time zone for the hold expiation.

Recall seeing a few pages back that AA let someone book award travel even though there weren't enough AA points in their account because they called up Citi to verify that points are on the way. Is that a YMMV or does every rep know about it?
