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.

Did that, won't let me change the BA FF#.  If I call, they won't give me an issue?
Try it on RJ. I just did it yesterday. You do have to type in a lot of irrelevant info, like your passport info, but it allows you to change the BA FF#to AA FF#

No.
from which airport?


She can take the hospital's certificate of birth with her if she wants. I NEVER had to show ID flying domestic for kids and infants.

You didn't need any ID for your kid at all? Like zero? That seems a bit crazy.

So one can technically kidnap a child and fly with them and no issues. ( No, NSA, I don't plan on doing this.)

Yes. They can also drive or take a train or Uber as well.
However, when flying international, i do reccomend a letter from the not-flying spouse, that they are ok with the child leaving the country with one parent.

That I've heard of, but figured that it applies for domestic as well. Guess not.

Yes, i flew international with a baby with a different last name than both me and wife, and NO ONE in the USA asked me "Who is this baby". In EU it was a YMMV, some asked some didn't.

Check revenue flights to see if they fly then.

Looking for availability on AA for a flight from TLV-TXL/DUS
Why isn't it giving me the option to only display direct flights like it usually does? Furthermore it's not even showing any availability on direct flights (with Air Berlin) whereas BA is?
Annoying, as I was relying on AA's availability calendar that can usually show a full month of availability at a time...
