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 just tried searching BA.com for NYC-YUL and I get an error message "Error

    British Airways does not have traffic rights to operate directly between these two cities."

Am I doing something wrong?

Double check that it shows-book with avios.

I recently had it thay i clicked book with avios, but it still asked something about the fare class (which usually goes away once you click book with avios).
Log out and in again.

Second agents was able to find the flights I needed. It's such a painful experience over the phone. I hope they fix it soon...

An idea if anyone has spare time to compile a table in the wiki with the international call center numbers and their opening times according to eastern time

Dan wrote in this post that "-You can significantly cut the fuel surcharges when flying on Iberia by transferring your BA Avios into Iberia Avios".
I'm looking at a flight from JFK > MAD that's showing $275 in charges on BA. How much will it be if I 1st transfer to Iberia?
