Yes.

Can all this idiotic panic please stop!?

BA's website is cr*p like it always was and always will be. If AA is showing saavor availability then BA can book it even if it's not showing up on BA.com. It will just require you to PUTPAC, wait on hold for 30-45 minutes, listen to a British man hitting his keys harder than a hammer hitting a nail, you feeding the rep the EXACT flight numbers, and asking him to waive the phone fee.

You are missing the point.

I gave you a example of a route that always had plenty availability and it just stopped from one day to the next without any availability for the next few months....

This lack of AA availbility showing on BA.com is making me nervous... hope this isn't the beginning of the end.

I am explaining to you that the lack of availability is by AA which is definitely a reason to panic for those using BA short haul alot.

That has nothing to do with this thread as that's not a BA problem, it's AA. Get used to it.

Yesterday there was a bunch of availability from YUL to PHL (looked on AA.com) and now there isn't any for months. Is it possible that there's a glitch on AA.com and the flight is still available?

ETA: Took a shot and called BA and was able to book the flight. Guess it was available and AA.com just had a glitch...

Im having the same problem no flights at all available for any time, any way that I can see what flights are available on AA

I think it's a glitch. Just try calling.

yankelsheester · « **Reply #3674 on:** June 26, 2015, 03:24:28 PM »

And BTW what you mentioned about the PHL-YUL route that a US airways route which is still showing regular AA saver availability problem is only woith AA flights

Since booking anything on avios website seems impossible now, has anyone had success lately calling Ba to book a flight on AA and also have them waive phone fee?

Was always able to get that done. Just had to ask nicely.

I am having the same problem, showing on AA but not BA

Chapshnell · « **Reply #3678 on:** June 28, 2015, 02:35:52 AM »

You gotta call BA. Their website is very buggy

ccohen · « **Reply #3679 on:** June 28, 2015, 04:58:16 PM »

"Note that all sAAver flights available on AA.com are able to be booked on BA"

I tried booking with Avios 5 tickets on a flight which show up as available on AA"s website (as award tickets), called BA (several times)and they said they only have 1 place available to them. So it seems that there is some capacity control for BA awards on AA.
