I'm trying to help a friend with a OneWorld Award Itinerary.
She has an existing Itinerary, and wants to add an ATL-LAX sector, on 5 Jun 2018.
I'm guessing that the only valid OneWorld carrier is AA.
I believe that AA releases award seats at 330 days out (and 5 June 2018 is 328 days).
I've searched via AA Advantage, JAL & BA sites, and there are no (OneWorld) award seats on this sector for the desired date, nor for ANY date in the 2 months prior (except for a couple of 1 stop hops via MIA or similar).
It looks to me as if AA might not make ANY direct seats available to the OneWorld pool for this sector.
Does anyone have any knowledge to share?
Am I chasing a unicorn?
Should my friend just buy a paid ticket for this sector instead?
Thanks in advance for any wisdom available.
