American Now Allows AAdvantage Miles for One-Way Trips

American Airlines has just introduced One-Way Flex Rewards to their AAdvantage rewards program which will allow fliers to trade in miles for one-way trips.

Maybe you're planning to fly one way and drive the other. Or you just don't have a return date in mind. Whatever your reasons, now you can save miles by using a One-Way Flex Award starting at just 12,500 miles for travel within the continental U.S.

The AAdvantage program is also allowing its members to combine their MileSAAver rewards and their AAnytime rewards to fly First Class to their destination and Economy for the return. Or however, you want to mix it up.

Like most mileage programs, the rules are confusing and we're always skeptical of such new changes. However, American has revamped their website to make it easier to book rewards travel and you can see a demo of that here. So far, we're intrigued but it always seems as if we never have enough miles to book the trips that we really want. Sigh. We'll keep waiting.
