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.

The YYZ-JFK flight I'm looking for only has availability in business. If I book now in business and economy opens up can I switch?

Just realised that was the issue with my search... The availability on aa.com was with US air.

Anyone else have insight into this merger and when exactly flights with US air will be available with BA?
