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.

Seriously? Is there any specific words to phrase the question to the agent in order to 'open his eyes'?

Are you sure you called BA?  It sounds like you got through to Amex CS and they took care of everything. ;D

I think the 'trick' here is to give the rep the flight details 'before' giving your FFN (this is what I did now), it seems that once a FFN is entered it wont show up, that will explain why it doesn't show on ba.com, since you have to enter your FFN to begin with.
It is just a theory I would appreciate if someone can confirm this.

I never had an issue even when giving FFN first.

+1. I actually give it to the rep the second I get connected.

How can i find out my AA confirmation #. Seems to me, that within 24 hours you can get it when checking in, but is there a way to get it beforehand?

Go to manage reservations, then select seat modifications. On the page that it says "I agree to have my data transmitted by BA to American Airlines for the purpose of this transaction." it should have your AA confirmation number.
