If you have existing award travel booked with American Airlines, it’s worth checking to see if you can book the same flights with these promotional rates. If the availability exists, you can cancel existing tickets, have your miles refunded, and rebook at the discounted rates.

If you want to make the most of this great sale, use an American Airlines co-branded credit card that offers generous rewards for your American Airlines purchases.

Final Thoughts

American Airlines is offering an excellent sale for spring award travel. If you book by July 2 (or while availability remains), you can book award tickets at heavily discounted rates to many destinations in the U.S., Mexico, the Caribbean, and more for travel through late fall.
