BA Avios question(s)

[DovtheBear]

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

Just had this Friday...

-21,000 MR points becomes 25,200 Avios, more than enough for a 25K round-trip flight between the west coast and any of the Hawaiian islands, New York and the west coast, or New York and Costa Rica. It’s even enough for a round-trip flight between Boston and Dublin or Shannon, Ireland with no fuel surcharges on Aer Lingus! You’ll have to call to book trips on airlines like Aer Lingus or Alaska.

Band 4: Flights that are 2,001-3,000 miles cost 12,500 Avios.
Sample routes: Boston-Dublin, JFK-Los Angeles, JFK-Vancouver, Los Angeles-Maui, JFK-Costa Rica, Pittsburgh-Los Angeles

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

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.

How can I switch it from my BA FFN to my AA FFN?

See this thread for more info.. http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=11484.0 - It has your answer there..

Mods - Why do we have two threads for the same thing?

ETA: Since I am in a good mood, this has your answer - http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/29252

-After booking I go to https://www.finnair.com, go to the “My Bookings” section, enter my last name and BA record locator, and press continue.
-On the next page I scroll down to “additional details,” select American from the drop down menu, enter my American AAdvantage number, and confirm the change.

Best not to ask that.. You should hopefully never have to find out..

But seriously, why do we have to threads with the same exact purpose? It doesn't make sense, but then again, Who Cares?!

Don't you just need to enter your number on your reservation online?

Not all airlines allow you to.

Slightly OT (maybe rename the thread?), but is there any consensus/experience on these perks when flying AB (to Israel) booked with Avios? Or any other BA partner booked with Avios?
1- # of free bags?
2- Accelerated security?
3- Priority boarding?

Also- the AAdvantage card is obviously not a help here.

BUMP

Yes.

I just booked a few flights for pesach but need to cancel some of them, online it says I need to call? Is that the only way to cancel? Wait Time is like 30 min.

Also I booked my 2 yr old by her self as the ticket became avail and I have a separate ticket for that flight, I put in her wrong dob is that ok or do I need to change it?

[schneury]

Also I can't find one of the bookings in my acc and when I put in the reference number it says that because it's a aa flight I can't pull it up on ba, how could I find it and make sure it's booked?

[ilherman]

I think its a good idea to call up BA. Better to change the DOB.
