Quick Thoughts
American Airlines normally charges 40,000 miles each way, so this award sale gives 33.3% off the regular award pricing. 30,000 miles each way is a pretty good price, but it does come at the cost of having to travel the entire way in economy. I did that ~10 years ago and survived (in fact, I slept better on that flight in economy than any other flight I’ve ever taken), but it’s certainly not the most comfortable of experiences.
The good thing is that there’s fairly wide open award availability. For example, here’s what it looks like in March from Los Angeles to Sydney. Note that the award sale starts for travel from March 10, so the majority of eligible days in March are bookable.
What could make this award sale even more appealing is how many people you can book tickets for. That availability above is what you see when booking for one person, but it’s also the same availability you’ll see when trying to book for 8 people. As a result, being able to book your entire family or group of friends on the same flight could be very useful if you have a sufficient AAdvantage balance.
