Booking CX on BA.com
« on: November 10, 2011, 09:30:31 AM »
I'm trying to book a Cathay flight with BA miles on the web, I don't want to call.
I figured out that when BA has avail with thier flights you can't check for partners,
is there anyway arround this?

Find a date without BA availability and then include partners and go back 7 days to the date you want.

You can always press the include partners on the side, when BA chart shows up.

I read on one mile at a time that BA is blocking partner availability. If this is true, then all of us trying to book under the old rules may be out of luck (and VERY angry). >:(

It could be a glitch.

i am doing a lot of mileage tickets the last few years, I was always doing CX online, recently I got no chance, I always get an error message, when I'm using someone else's account. They told me over the phone that this is a new restriction from CX. Anybody had better luck?

We're sorry, we are unable to process your request. Please contact your local British Airways office.

Anyone had such an experience?

I am having a similar issue. Trying to book using BA miles for YYZ-LGA on AA. Booking online returns the same error message as above. I tried to call customer service, but the fees for booking with them, make the ticket carry over $100 in fees. What to do? (the flight is for tomorrow)

They waived me the $20 booking fee over the phone, when I explained them about the error coming up

I'm getting the following error "The requested method is currently unavailable or may require a newer version of the KVSTool"
I just assumed it was Avios, but I guess it's me?

You have assumed correctly -- KVS Tool Version 6.8.0 release is now available for download: http://www.KVSTool.com
