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.

If it's not showing on AA.com that means it's not savor availability and BA can't book it.

You mean Air Berlin? In Europe there's also Niki and Aer Lingus that have no fuel surcharges.

If I have 2 separate tickets (e.g. LGA-PHX on AA and PHX-SEA on AS) can I check my bags all the way despite the fact that the ticket is 2 airlines?
