Have not yet checked with airlines, but what is your guess?

Will we be able to use frequent flyer points to fly LAX-Aruba the day after Thanksgiving? That is the only date I can get Marriott timeshare in Aruba.

You can search for FF awards online at www.aa.com. I just did a search and there are no seats for Nov. 25-28, but Thanksgiving Day itself showed availability.

I beg to differ about "messing around with the online stuff." Online, I can check all available flights and choose one that is the best for me. I can either purchase it or put it on hold, all within a few minutes. Sure beats calling up, being put on hold, listening to all that music, and taking a chance that the person taking the information gets it wrong. (As has happened to me when calling AA some time ago. I asked for two FF seats and the agent booked only one. If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself ... )However, I do agree with you that anyone who wants to use FF miles should either call the airline or go online ASAP to check availability.

Since I have always had my tickets faxed to me within a day I know what has been reserved. Linda
