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’m not seeing the option to update my FF# on Finnair mobile website. Did it change since they’re leaving OW?

Random DP.
 Was in Toronto4 yt and needed a flight home.
1-2 months before, 1-2-3 weeks before nothing showing avlb from YYZ-NYC.
 2 days before all of the sudden the floodgates open and there's 8 flight avlb throughout the day. Not sure why they released it so last minute.

That would be a bummer. Were you able to figure it out?

I ended up having to cancel the flight anyway so I don’t know if it would’ve worked.
For new bookings, I’d just write myself as an additional passenger and not use my profile info.

As with US airlines a few years ago, it’s generally bad unless booking a very expensive ticket.

Does BA still charge an award booking cancelled penalty after the 24hours the lesser of $55 or the tax/fees collected?

Here is the break down of tax and fees:


it seemed like cancel is $55 penalty as total tax/fee is $67？

you would be charged $55 and not $67 since the taxes are more
