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.

OY...

Ouch! Those are obviously some of the most valuable routes in AA's network. A flight to CLE or YUL is almost always much more than to MIA.

I am trying to book a lga-dca rt flight with avios. These are nonstop AA flights. The return flight shows as available on AA, however on BA it doesn't show any evening flights as available on any day in the next few days. I have 11/3 in mind specifically. Why would BA only shows flight before 2 or 3PM and nothing later?

On line there's none available JFK - YYZ economy on Tam airlines, is there a chance they'll have any available if I call in?

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
