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.

Your just selling to the wrong people. ..
Evidently. I'm running low on suckers recently. Anyone who is one, please PM me. I have some great business prepositions.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

You can fly spirit for $59 each way. I know it's not the greatest airline, but it's a short flight.

When booking a short-haul to extend expiration, it shouldn't be canceled within 24 hours; correct?
