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.

Officially nothing unless you have aa credit card or status.
I think sometimes it comes out free though due to a glitch. (You get priority boarding too) CMIIW

just a random question. I see u mentioned priority boarding. Can u explain me any benefit of boarding the hot and stuffy plain first. Wouldn't u rather be in the lounge for as long as possible ?maybe I'm missing something. Do they give Glenlivet 21 for the first 10 people ??

Priority check in, not everyone haves access to the lounge and its much hoter by the gate, you also get to put your stuff in the top of you when there is still room etc...
