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.

Canadian departure taxes.

Is it always that cheap? So 18k BA is a bad deal?

I booked an award flight on AA for someone from my account - is there a way to pull the booking reference number? The e-mail never came.

I recently had to wait 10-12 hours for the confirmation email.
But be sure to get it! I changed info on my ticket on the phone, never got another email, and had NO ticket reissued!
