AA is 50k one way, no YQ but good luck finding availability. Only transfer partner is SPG

Misunderstood. All availability is with BA with YQ. No AA availability. Even from DFW or Bos.

DL vs. AZ
30k/62.5k + YQ vs. 25k/40k + YQ
Working website vs. Dysfunctional website.
Normal reps vs. Downsyndrome reps.

Now you decide for yourself  :P

It was my understanding that the AZ program isnt bookable for one ways. Possible I misunderstood. Could be. The general statement was though that AZ cant book one ways

I see from a different website this statement: "One-way tickets are allowed at 60% of the cost of the roundtrip"

Is the DL/ 62.5k and AZ/40k referring to J OW or Y round trip?
