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.

Is there any chance of an agent being able to book an AA flight even without sAAver availability?

You think BA would refund an award ticket (taxes included) to Greece because of the situation there?

if a CC is linked to your AA mileage # you will get a free bag. Ive seen additionals AU's waive their au CC & get it free too. But thats an exception

If you are not flying, the passenger will not get free luggage. (But will probably get TSA pre check and priority acess)
