MandT,

I just finished booking AA flights for next September because I wanted specific flights and wanted to use accumulated FF miles.

I agree with the idea of seeing and grabbing a flight when the price looks reasonable, regardless of how early it may seem, but remember, once you book with any airline, and particularly with AA for anytime AFTER Easter and before high season begins again, check your reservations frequently for changes. They're supposed to notify you, and my personal experience is they always have, but many here say they don't receive any warning of changes. It really pays to be proactive where your reservations are concerned.

Good luck with booking, and if the AA Business Class is remotely close, it's worth the extra money, IMHO. Have a great trip.... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
