It’s now possible to book Etihad awards on the American Airlines website. Previously these awards didn’t show up on American Airlines, but you were able to book them via phone (that was a difficult process in itself as it wouldn’t show up for American agents so you’d have to call an international desk such as Singapore or Sydney). It will be interesting to see if this is here to stay, or if American Airlines is just doing some testing late at night.
