BA Avios question(s)

[robbie]

Is $257 that bad? 

not that bad, but you would have to pay 257 to fly spirit

anyone have any ideas, i need a flight jan 4th from mia to nyc, nothing available and tickets are sky high. was thinking about taking a stop to get any sort of fight, possible mia atl nyc, needa find anything.

BA availability shows up a lot closer to the date.  3-5 weeks before the flight is when I usually find.  And, strangely, I can find something just a few hours after I found nothing on that date!

Interesting, I've been looking for a flight in February and there's is very little availability i assumed it would only get worse

The question is it worth waiting and not getting paid tickets

Hey everyone,

I have an intra-Asia flight planned in Business on CX using BA Avios. When I first booked it, it was on a 777 with a 3 class cabin, so it had lie flat seats. There was a plane change (to a different 777) and now the flight has a 2 class cabin (domestic business class) with reclining seats.

There's another CX flight leaving from a nearby airport (not the same as the original ticket) at roughly the same time with the lie flat business class option (747) and I'd like to switch to that flight.

I'll be traveling with a pregnant wife I"YH who will appreciate the extra room.

I tried calling the US and Singapore offices with no luck and can't see another HUCA going any better.

What would be the downside to cancelling the ticket and disputing the Taxes/Fees with AMEX? There was a change in seating even thought the plane model didn't change. Can you think of any other ideas to get this done?

Thanks in advance!

yes.  Unless there's a big cash sale.

I booked a flight almost a week ago, and still no confirmation email

Do you have the confirmation code?  Look up the reservation and check that there's a ticket #.  If yes, you're ok.  If not, call.

HUCA to the rescue.

Call #1:I called and gave them all my information, but over the phone they could only tell me the ticket #, not the confirmation number. That needs to be emailed...

Call #2: Hello, i have my ticket # but misplaced my confirmation #. Can you give it to me? Sure...

What's going on with their confirmation emails? 3rd itinerary that I need to call to get my email...

Why do you need to call? Just get the confirmation number from the confirmation page and get your ticket number and partner confirmation number from Check my trip.

That's what I did the 3rd time, neither do they appear under my bookings.

I don't see where to find the ticket #.  Although I used the AA record locator to check the reservation in the AA system. Where can I look for the ticket #?

When I add my AA FF # to my AA booking will it show the free bag online?

Thanks!  I missed the little 'expand' arrow.

Just get to the airport early enough to check in.
