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.

If I pay cash and points do is earn any miles for the cash payment? Also, are cancellation still free ( and in this case I would get refunded the points?)
You would get from your CC company whatever they give for travel. Yes you can still cancel it.

All you get it check in bags free and you're first off the plane. The seats are a little wider but for 1 hour flying time doesn't make that much of a diff. Oh and you get your water in a glass not a lousy plastic cup

Don't forget, you get water before takeoff

Don't forget about the porsche to the plane!

Make sure to ask in a way that shows you know about it, but you "don't know about it."

I booked a flight eze-jfk-eze all on one itinerary (wasn't thinking) the print out and email say 1 checked bag. I cancelled and booked eze-jfk & jfk-eze on separate itineraries. The print out and email say 2 checked bags.
Is this standard that on one ways to or from that region you get 2 free bags?
