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.

Is it at all possible to set an alert on systems like EF, KVS, Nexus etc, for a seat becoming available on AirBerlin using Avios?

TIA

Hardly. But as I'm sure you'll agree, cross-posting is prohibited for a reason. It's annoying.

No apology necessary (at least not to me).

But thanks.

B. It's 7.5K to MIA, but I doubt AA flies direct to FLL, and I'm too lazy to check. If it doesn't fly direct you'll probably have to shell out more. Go to BA.com to check.
