Search for availability on aa.com. If you find it, it will be bookable through ba, either online, or worst case by calling

Okay, I guess that's what I'll do then--thanks.

Am I able to use Avios for only the 12,500 offpeak MileSAAver or also the 17,500 Economy MileSAAver as well?

Thank you,

PDG

I tried searching but my search skills might be lacking.

If I shift credit from/close my BA card, what happens to the points? If I remember correctly they live on as long as I have activity every x amount of moths. Is that correct? and if yes, how many months?

Thanks.

Did you search by segment? Doesn't it always come up on BA if it's on AA?

If you want them to price it for 7500 Avios, you cant book each segment separately.

Trying to book ticket from toronto to NYC on Sunday June 23 with Avios. Currently only flight is at 629AM. How likely is it for more flights to open up and do they add availability at certain times?

Did you check business availability? It's only 9k avios and often the availability is much better

If I'm not mistaken, its a one class cabin

You didnt switch pay with money to pay with Avios.

Dan · « **Reply #591 on:** June 19, 2013, 01:34:01 PM »

Is there any place on BA.com that shows Avios exp date?

Or does anyone know for certain if booking and redepositing immediately will extend for 36 months?

Don't know about BA, but learned recently that it doesn't work with SQ.
When you redeposit, it doesn't appear as a redemption & redeposit, they just delete the redemption from your account activity.

Doesn't look like that on BA (at least after 24 hours).
Anyone know about within 24 hours?

Redemption & redeposit.

Dan · « **Reply #596 on:** June 19, 2013, 02:25:56 PM »

So you should be able to extend for free it seems.
Would be nice to have 100% confirmation of that though somehow.

Looking to book a ticket thru BA on AA for next April, taxes are over 40 dollars so for myself and my wife would be 80 to cancel.

Does BA allow any changes to the itinerary if something comes up? Also what should I do if I have no clue at this point if I will take along my baby, taxes are 30 dollars and it's 2k BA points (flight is international.
