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.

You can cancel and rebook for the $12 fee, but subject to today's availability.

Quote from DDMS-
you had booked a round-trip and only want to change the return you’ll have to cancel the whole award.  That means you’ll pay $11.20 instead of $5.60 and you might lose your desired outbound flight that you didn’t want to change.  Both of those are reasons I book BA awards as one-way trips.

I know that an award ticket is able to be cancelled by eating up the $5.60 fee. What about a points and cash booking does anyone know the cancellation policy on that?

I booked my wife and I on an AA flight using avios, but was only able to book one of us originally as there was only one seat available and then I booked the other a few days later when another seat opened up.
I switched the FF# to my AA through finnair. Is there anyway to combine the two of us on to one reservation?

I can't seem to reach anyone out of India. Tried many times and they can't ever pull up any availability besides for what I see my self online (meaning no other saver awards). Any ideas?
Is there a better phone number I can use to reach someone helpful?
TIA!

Are you trying to book a flight with avios that does not show up as a Saaver flight on AA?
If so, you're out of luck, but maybe it will open up at a leter date. check daily.

No. I want to book a flight which does show up as a saver flight on AA, but doesn't allow me to book on BA...
