My friend is booking me a flight with his BA miles... My question is could he use my credit card to pay taxes or will they cancel the flight because they'll assume he sold his miles? TIA

I have a RT booked with Avios flying AA. I want to cancel the outbound and only keep the return. I forgot to book as 2 one ways. The return is no longer available. Can I cancel the outbound? If I have to cancel the whole thing what are the chances of the return opening up?

Does BA let you borrow avios?

They usually offer to sell you enough to complete the purchase of your ticket for 1.3 cents or so.

I booked a ba ticket on a bought account and the guy missed his flight by a day. Anything that can be done?

I think i might be losing it. I looked up last night on ba.com for a one way flight from tlv-lhr-nyc (with a 4 day stop in lhr)
i thought it priced out at 54500+709$, now when i price it out its the same points but at 1100 or so....

Any help please.

I've booked tickets for friends with my avios and cc and there's been no problem. My married daughter and family doesn't have my last name, and I book her flights to me and back

all the time.

+1
Make sure to tell them that you saw it on AA and you were not able to book on ba.com, so that they waive the phone booking fee.

When canceling an awards flight how long does it take for the miles to return to my account?
What are the advantages of booking an AA flight with BA?

I think immediately.
Better redemption rate. (one way awards. both?) (cancel for the $2.50 fee. equivalent in AA?)
