when u say each leg sep. you mean by one way right? not from ny to Europe sep then Europe to tlv sep.

incorrect. Each leg separate means NYC-TXL and then TXL-TLV (just an example)

What ltd is saying is if you go through BA the charge would be different.

If you book using AA miles for travel on BA you will still have to pay the BA fuel surcharges, go with AA without the surcharges.

There is one seat left on a flight from YUL to LGA on the 9th on November. Entered all the payments information, and after trying 10+ times, I keep on getting to an error screen that we can not process this card and you should try another one, tried another one and same thing. Anyone else having bug booking AA?

If there's only one seat left i would call them and book ticket over the phone, and ask to waive the booking fee.

Good to know for data point, though that probably would have been closes at 4:30am too.

I found that on every card that I 'saved', they put 'brooklyn' as the 2nd address line. and I have to input the city of 'brooklyn' each time I'm paying - or it won't go through.

Hey, I am trying to book a flight on AA using British avois. BA shows no availability, I called BA and they confined that there are no seats. I checked up AA website and they show a ton of available seats. Is it possible BA will only open up seats as it gets closer? Anyone have any experience with this?
