[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]American miles are really hard to use at saver rates IMO.  They don't have any nonstops to Europe from DC and if you fly British Airways there are really high fees.

I only like to book tickets to Europe on saver fares (60k) and have only been able to do so on United or Delta (Air France).  They have nonstop flights to several destinations but you must be flexible with dates and book in advance.

On American you can sometimes find saver first class flights to Hawaii.  Also Alaska Air nonstops from DCA to LA are good.

If you don't care how many points you use you can get to Europe or Asia but you have to connect.[/quote]

Yeah trying to get miles tickets to Europe is difficult because so many are on British Airwsys, which charge ridiculous fees.  I had a hard time getting tickets to Rome for DH and I, I can't imagine trying to do it for 4 people.  When we went to SE Asia a few years ago we used my AA miles to go one way and DH's United miles to return.  I used to travel on American a lot for work and still have an AAdvantage credit card but I'm kind of over it.   Now we have a kid and trying to get 3 seats anywhere just seems like it will never work.

There are some direct flights to Europe on AA from Philly, so look for those. Also I don't think all of the partner flights are available in the online search, so you may have more luck calling.[/quote]
