Do American Airlines award alerts work on Award Travel Finder?
American Airlines award alerts are not available on Award Travel Finder: route monitors never search American Airlines, so no email fires when AAdvantage Miles seats open on an AA flight. American can't be searched directly right now, so the way to find American award space is to search partner programs such as British Airways, Qatar Airways or Alaska Airlines. AAdvantage releases its own seats and partner seats about 331 days before departure, and partner inventory often loads hours after American's own metal, so run those partner searches yourself as a date such as a Miami (MIA) to London (LHR) trip reaches that window.

Questions about American Airlines award alerts
Can I set an award alert for American Airlines flights?
No. The automatic route monitor check never searches American Airlines, so no alert fires for AAdvantage Miles seats on American flights, even if your AI creates a monitor.
How do I find American Airlines award seats, then?
American can't be searched directly right now, so search partner programs such as British Airways, Qatar Airways or Alaska Airlines to find American award space. You can ask Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor to run those searches for you.
When do American Airlines award seats release?
About 331 days before departure, for both American's own flights and partner awards. Partner inventory often loads hours after own metal at that same 331-day point.
Would Premium add American Airlines alerts?
No. Premium unlocks unlimited route monitors, but the monitor check still does not search American Airlines, so AAdvantage seats stay outside alert coverage.
