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.

I booked a ticket for my rabbi on my account. Is there any way for me to add my aa number to get him free luggage? Also there are only prefered seats available. Any way for me to get those seats for him? i'm willing to pay.

Adding your AA # will get him free luggage?

Does AB ever open up more than one award seat on BA in Y from LAX, MIA, RSW, ORD, or JFK to DUS? I can see a few dates with 1 seat, never 2.

BA Avios is charging me an extra 750 points for an unticketed infant on a domestic flight - is that normal? Obviously not a big deal, just wondering if I even need to put the infant on the reservation at all...

Don't need to ticket an infant on a domestic ticket for BA. Just go to the airport and the agent will add the infant for no charge.

But yes, if you do it through BA they will charge
