$75 fee:

-21+ days prior to departure is based on the departing city time zone, not the booking city time zone.

EDIT: I managed to call in and have them waive the fee when it was within 21 days in departing city time zone but not by booking city time zone

UPDATE: AA has removed all close-in fees

JNB-AUH arriving 6:25 am on a Tuesday, the next flight for AUH-YYZ is on Thursday at 10:05 am. EY is only showing segment by segment, is there any amount of HUCA that will get AA to book at 75K or it's a lost cause?

JNB-AUH-YYZ will always price out as two awards using AA miles.

Not a single non-stop J or F sAAver seat on AA Metal NYC-LHR for the entire calendar. Ridiculous!!!
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Yup. The calendar format is off, but the date selected shows up correctly on the left.

Buy a short flight and they will give you the option to purchase 500-1500 miles.

Buy any flight on priceline and cancel within 24 hrs, but should be close enough to be able to print a boarding pass or maybe you don't need to be able to print the boarding pass to get the offer to buy miles?

???
Why priceline instead of directly with the airline? Airline gives free cancellation within 24 hours as long as the flight isn't in the next week.
What are you talking about with the boarding pass? Just buy the ticket on AA.com for a flight a month from now and they will immediately give you the option of buying miles.
