For some time now American has been offering most destinations as one way trips at half the price of round trip -- or rather the round trip is really the total
of two one-ways depending on the best priced seats available each way.
But today I got notice that you can now book an award trip to any destination and in any class -- as a one-way for half the miles it takes to do round trip. This is really great. I couple years age we splurged to upgrade to business flying to Europe but didn't want to use so many miles as to do a round trip. Since they charge both miles and quite a few dollars for an upgrade after you purchase economy -- this idea is particularly intriquing. I'd rather spend half the miles to do the overnight flight going in business but just return in the day by regular coach fare. That seems like a great deal.
