Update 12/18/19: American Airlines dynamic award pricing is now live. There are one way prices to Europe for as much as 400,000 miles. In addition American Airline miles are now posting directly after a flight.
Update 6/3/19: According to Gary Leff this has now been confirmed.
This shouldn’t come as a surprise after both United & Delta have ditched award charts but there is a rumor circulating that American Airlines is already actively working on doing the same and moving from award charts to dynamic pricing. In a recent interview with Gary Leff from VFTW American Airlines said they were researching ways to enhance earn and redemption opportunities and a recent change to the award search tool also both point to moving in this direction.
I haven’t heard of any timelines on when American plans to make these changes and nothing has been confirmed yet, but I’d be incredibly surprised if this doesn’t happen and I’d expect it to happen sometime this year.
