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.

Has anyone ever found award availability between TLV and London? The only date i ever saw for a direct flight was shabbos. Is there another way to do this? I searched on AA.com also but didn't find anything...
There's plenty on AA and BA.

I booked AA with avios J. My BA number is baked into the reservation. Is there anyway to change that to my AA number?
Purpose is for status credit and so that it shows up in my app.
Thank you

I called BA call center to book a domestic award for an AA flight that wasn't showing up online being that it's later in the day. The rep was unwilling to waive the online booking fee, even though I repeatedly told her it's not available to book online.

As a side note, I called the Singapore number as they've typically been very helpful in the past. However, the call went to the call center in India and they were extremally unhelpful.

Why is BA only showing morning flights?

Yes. Under your account summary it says something like account expiry date. That changes with activity but doesn't update instantly.

If I cancel an Avios booking within 24 hours, do they still charge a service fee or will they give me a full refund? I keep trying to figure it out on their website but it is written unclearly the exact rules for canceling within 24 hours of booking specifically with Avios.
