BA Avios question(s)

[ckmk47]

Only business return

I book 2 separate 1 ways, so I didn't get your question.
I see what you mean, there are only bus seats for Sat, sun , and mon or 4/20 (sun)  tues there's economy availability, but I have no thoughts as to why the other days don't even have full bus availability.
I just checked the dates.  You're trying to fly back on sun, day 4 of chol hamoed. 


It's early enough to get paying flights at a decent price.  Remember the Canada TO USA leg has $50 in taxes on top of any points price, so a $160 cash ticket is actually not that much more than an Avios ticket.

Right but two way economy is pretty cheap and flights are 272

I'm having alot of trouble with my Executive Club acct. I opened my Chase BA card in October, did the spending, earned 52K or so points.  According to chase the points were transferred to by avios acct but BA has no record of them. The EC # I was assigned is one that I opened in 2000 but have not used since and I did not put it on my application (I didn't even remember having one).
Somehow (I'm not sure if BA or Chase does the linking) they linked my CC with the old EC #.  I've called numerous times waited on hold for HOURS to figure out what the problem is. 
Today when I called to hear any update they told me that my EC # has expired after 3 years of inactivity (you linked my old acct  !) and I need to open a new EC # and have chase redeposit my avios into the new acct.  When I called chase to verify, they said they will forward my question and issues to the marketing dept and I will hear from them via snail mail in 7-10 days about this issue.

Anyone have any suggestions or ever had a similar situation that can help. TIA

when I signed up in December they somehow  hooked my account to my mothers EC account and I couldn't access the EC account so I called BA and we figured out that it's my mothers EC account so they told me to make my own account and tell chase to update.
Chase updated and said it will take some time to take effect,
They sent a letter in the mail that the points that we're put in my mothers account can't be transferred out.
I'm very disappointed with chase so far, and every time I call BA I'm on hold for a hour

Yes you can, unless flight is overbooked so you'll have to wait for check in.

See this thread.. http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=11484.0

It has a lot more info in depth. But yes, >24 hours you get your avios back. <24 hours you lose your avios. You can cancel online, only lose your $2.50 in tax's

Is this new? BA charging me 1500 Avios for infant.

No, old.... Just don't book the infant with them.

Just call up AA after having the AA confirmation number and add the infant for free.

Can someone clarify this for me? I booked an AA flight with Avios and paid on my CSP. I have AA CC that gives me (and travel companion) a free bag. What benefits do I have and how do I get them?

[wonderlust]

I have found in the past availability over the phone when it wasn't available online - any1 have the same experience?

IME, i was told i needed to pay with the AA card to get the free bags. Though just using your AA FFN should work.

AA can't know how the ticket was paid for. Your FFN is enough.

Is there any risk if I used my avios to book a tkt for a friend?

Funny story. Back in September, the night before sukkos, my family flew from Bwi to ord, and naturally lots of jews on the flight. And when they called for priority boarding,  all of the jews got up
