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.

I see the same as you. Saaver is showing a few flights from NYC, but BA shows none (in Coach).
You need to call, some say the the Singapore call center is helpful.

My BA profile has my first and second name under the "first name" field, and I think that's what's causing my attempt at linking my MR and BA accounts to fail. Anyone know what the process is like to have them put the second name in the "middle name" field?

How can I get my state to stick in my  BA profile? Everything else is filled out, but for some reason, I always need to enter the state manually.

I don't have an answer.
But in my saved cc, it has my city as the 2nd line of my address and leaves out the city.  and if I don't correct it, it won't go through, and they won't tell me what that problem is.

AA free baggage on BA award ticket?
« Reply #4734 on: June 03, 2016, 01:21:42 PM »
Hi everyone,

This is probably a really simple question. Do I get free baggage while flying AA on a BA award if I have the AA personal plat card? Also, does my companion get free baggage as well?

Thanks!

Excellent, thanks! And do I just need to be traveling with my companion for them to get luggage or do the tickets need to be bought on the same reservation?

Not the best forum for this, but I have a question:
DW and I are in F on a BA flight and would like to bring our 2 year old with us. F is completely sold out. We are willing to have one adult sit in Y. What options do we have to take him along without paying $10k.
