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.

Thank you.

Says one of the ways is only premium econimy - what does that mean in terms of points with BA?

Why is BA not allowing me to search JFK to MIA flights? Keeps saying that BA does not fly the route.. Didnt they use to show AA availability?
