Yes, you can use partial miles on American Airlines.
American Airlines allows you to use a combination of AAdvantage miles and cash for award tickets. This is often referred to as “Miles + Cash” and is a great way to save some miles while still booking a flight.
You can access this option when you search for flights on the American Airlines website. Simply choose the “Miles + Cash” option during the booking process.
Keep in mind that the amount of cash you pay will depend on the specific flight and destination. The more miles you use, the less cash you’ll need to pay, and vice versa.
This feature is especially useful if you’re just a few miles short of what you need for a ticket. You can bridge the gap by using cash instead of miles.
It’s important to check the availability of this option for the flights you want, as not all routes may offer it.
American Airlines frequently updates their policies, so it’s always a good idea to check their official site or contact customer service for the most current information.
Can I use my miles for someone else’s ticket?

Can I combine miles from different accounts?

Is there a fee for using miles plus cash?
