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.

No it shouldn't. It's two separate flight and you pay for each separately
Why is it different than AB with a stop in DUS?

You're correct. It's 32.5 k

I've never used ba.com before -how does it work if I changed one leg of my flight - should I have received a new email with a new e-ticket? the booking number shows confirmed correct info on ba.com

anyone?

My boss just spent $2100 on a YYZ-CLT ticket that I could have gotten for 9K avios. Crazy

He can transfer from his MR/UR/SPG account into your Avios account.

You could combine both of your accounts by opening a household account.

(Side note: the only problem with a household account is that you can't buy a ticket for anyone else beside whoever is on the combined account also max. 5 PPl allowed.

You could always unlink it.)
