Hey Y'all

Looking to use some of my 50k Avios to go on our first wedding anniversary. We wanted either cancun or Aruba. 20k round trip PP for cancun and 24k to Aruba via MIA. We will be leaving from JFK. The problem is that I can't find flights for the way back. I read the DD post about Avios but aa.com is coming up empty. How can we find flights the most efficient way?
TIA

called up executive club (india) and for a flight thats 2200 miles they wanted to charge 14,500 when should be 12,500....plus they said they couldnt get the flight time i wanted only earlier bec they only have access to certain amount of seats on every flight...

also why is it 14,500 not 12,500?

I said they should. Sometimes for whatever reason they don't appear. I don't think it's because "they only have access to certain amount of seats on every flight...". I usually find that the seats you are looking for disappear pretty soon after. Perhaps it is phantom space on AA's website?

What route?
Likely they were looking at a flight with a stopover 10,000 + 4,500

2 hours later its still there....
its lga-las....but theyre routing me through CLT....

i was under the impression the miles is between origin and destination, not including the stopovers they force me on...

What's the date?
Nope. Avios is charged per leg.

If I book a rewards flight for 4500 avios and $5 and I cancel, I will just lose the $5 and the points will be redeposited? Can someone confirm this?

correct. but it must be more than 24 hrs before flight.

If you want to cancel within 24 of booking you will get back your taxes, but you must call to cancel. You can reach BA at 800-452-1201.
Flight cancellations and changes must be done more than 24 hours before the time of departure or else you will not get your Avios back.

Also, regrading an infant, when flying domestic should i include the infant in my reservation while booking or just add the infant at the counter?

Domestic? At the counter.

But please read this.

What is the general rule regarding amount of Avios needed for j class? I see sometimes it's double than y sometimes it's triple or even four times the amount. Any method to the madness?

Double on international short haul
Triple on international long haul
Quadruple on two cabin domestic
