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.

Hi- I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post, but if not please direct me. I booked paid tickets on BA for next month on the promotion that was posted a while back. Something came up at work and looks like I may not be able to make it- what's the best I can hope for? Will they allow me to change tickets? I just want to know what to expect before I call. TIA

Its $5.60 for flights leaving the US , for flights leaving Canada, the taxes are much higher.

Now that Air Berlin is gone, is there any way to get to Israel from NYC without fuel charges? (Besides NYC-Boston-Shannon- ? - TLV).

I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Thanks.
IB = Iberia? Do they have flights NYC to Spain, Spain to TLV?
Iberia would be less fuel charges for AA metal?

In that post you wrote that 1st leg was $203 in fees for 2 people. BA is showing me $178.10 PP?

Check Iberia. YQ should be lower.
