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.

When u enter the passenger name and record locator #, it would say on the right if ticketed.

Different then "direct"... Is the flight "non stop"?

Still looked like it should be 15k to me. Maybe one way is non stop and one way not.
I only checked one way but this is what I got.
I'm on my phone and at work so couldn't check em all.

Anyone know what the redeposit fee for canceling from Phuket to HKG would be?
The page here seems to say 1,220 Baht, but I've seen that cancellations in the US don't cost the $40 they say it will.

MR doesn't transfer into AA so you cannot book with AA.

You can use you MR to transfer into Avios and book that way.

There is no way around the $276 on ba, they charge fuel surcharge when u travel across the atlantic on american, the only places u could go to without the charge is DUB, DUS and TXL.

From DUB, DUS and TXL you can go anywhere in Europe without YQ.  Just book em separately
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Flying on AA, how do I bring up my Avios reservation on AA.com?
I just enter my BA confirmation number?
It doesn't bring it up.
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

You need your AA record located.
