Now could be a great time to spend those American Airlines AAdvantage miles that are burning a hole in your wallet.

A new limited-time promotion from the Fort Worth–based carrier offers discounts on domestic and international Main Cabin redemptions, with more than 1 million domestic seats available from just 7,500 miles each way — and even Main Cabin flights to Europe starting as low as 17,500 miles.

The sale is valid through November 16 for travel between January 12 and February 28, 2026.

Here’s a look at everything you need to know.

American Airlines Award Sale

From today until November 16, 2025, American Airlines is offering a discount on more than 1 million domestic award redemption rates for AAdvantage members.

Domestic flights in Main Cabin (excluding Alaska and Hawaii) start at 7,500 miles, and transatlantic Main Cabin flights start at 17,500.

The discounted redemptions are valid through November 16 for travel between January 12 and February 28, 2026, without blackout dates — here’s a look at the details:

Program: American Airlines AAdvantage
Airline: American Airlines
Class: Main Cabin
Routes: Domestic (excluding Alaska and Hawaii) and international routes
Cost: From 7,500 miles (domestic), and 17,500 miles (transatlantic)
Travel Dates: January 12 through February 28, 2026

Here’s an example of a redemption for just 6,000 miles — even lower than American’s advertised 7,500-mile sale rate — plus $5.60 in taxes and fees, from New York (JFK) to Washington, D.C. (DCA).

We value American Airlines AAdvantage miles at 1.4 cents apiece, which means 6,000 of them are worth $84. Factor in the $5.60 to account for the taxes and fees, and you’re looking at a ticket that effectively costs less than $90, though you get to keep the lion’s share of that in your pocket.

If you’d prefer to book a transatlantic flight during this promotion, you could book a ticket from Boston (BOS) to London (LHR) for just 17,500 miles. Factor in $5.60 for taxes and fees, and you’re looking at a value of about $250, a savings of $73 when compared to the cash fare of $323.

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.
