Those two search options are under “reward flights” on the BA app. On the website, make sure to only search for flights once you’ve gone to your executive club account, and have clicked “book with avios” to make sure you’re in the correct search function. Best of luck to you!

can the ba companion pass be used with a cash booking on economy paying just the fuel surcharges and taxes on another ticket? or can it only be used when booking with avios? and how many avios would it be business/first to israel round trip?thanks in advance

is there a chance that the lhr to tlv ba flight the night before shavous would open up avios availalbiity? I should just constantly keep checking? or is it most likely pointless. and can I just check aa.com for saver award?

Extremely unlikely.

Seems like you now have to call them to get the miles back. @zow can you shed some more light on this.

Anyone have more recent experience with this? Do you still have to call to get miles reinstate after cancellation?

There's a 24 hr window. If you don't get it instantly, then simply PUTPAC.

I thought there aren't any fuel surcharges using Avios on AA operated flights. I now see a $350 charge by BA on an award on AA metal. Distribution & Development Levy

Per adult USD 350.00

Total British Airways fees and carrier charges

Per adult USD 350.00

There is no YQ for DOMESTIC AA awards booked on BA. There is YQ for routes which BA services such as JFK-LHR. I'm not sure about other routes across the Atlantic.

Worked for me yesterday.

Any way to quickly and easily top off an avios account. Didn't heed yesterday's warning and now I'm short with measly 73 points due to devaluation

Luvtotravel · « **Reply #5519 on:** May 31, 2019, 01:12:53 PM »

I need to change my flight due to delay on their end. I see award availability for my preferred flight on aa and ba but agent claims its not available to switch to. Is there such a thing?
