American Airlines Award Flight Sale

There is a pretty great American Airlines award flight sale that can snag you some dirt cheap flights. How cheap you ask? How does 5,000 AAdvantage miles for a domestic flight and 15,000 – 20,000 miles for flights to Europe sound? That is pretty tough to beat, if you can find award space that works for you.

American Airlines Award Flight Sale: ToP Thoughts

This is a really great sale that should line up nicely with some of your summer travels. Even if you already have your plans locked in and booked, I would double check your flights to see if prices dropped. You might be able to reclaim some AAdvantage miles thanks to this American Airlines summer award sale. You would likely need to cancel your flights and rebook. I know that I may be looking for some travel that I wasn't previously considering thanks to this.
