Note that all sAAver flights available on AA.com are able to be booked on BA.  When there are many flights on one day, they may not all be listed on BA.com.  So you will have to call to book it.  Get the phone fee waved because it wasn't able to be booked on line.


NOTE: Household accounts will not allow transfers from Iberia to BA. Make sure you don't have a household account, and if you do, split it up.

NOTE: When booking, erase your Avios number when entering your passenger information. This will make it much simpler to add your AA Advantage number at a later time.

I need to book an infant on his own ticket reservation, and BA is not letting me book a child avios ticket w/o putting in a adult as well. Can I just book him as an adult without an issue ?

Why do AA boarding passes have priority access, even when I'm booking for non-elite family members?
