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.

It's not discussed here on the forums. ( If you do sell it you probably wanna wait till the 40% promo is over.)

JFK-HKG is 8,072 miles according to this, yet it prices out as a tier 8 award for flights 6,501-7,000 miles. How so?
