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, you can cancel an award for just the lower of $55 or the taxes paid

Is there anyway to get BA.com to display more than 10 flights on the search results page? I am looking to fly DCA-LGA on 6/23/2014 on the 4pm flight. All the flights that day are wide open for award tickets and 4pm flight would be the 11th search result.

On hold for BA on the phone but they say 30+ minute wait. Hoping someone knows a trick...

So if the taxes are more than $55 you get back [some of] the tax. No?

Just FYI BA added lots of BR cities from JJs route map, still might be complicated to actually proceed with the booking through the site, but still great if you want to check availability.
Having issues booking them.

It's not about forcing BA to shoe more than 10 flights, its on how to bypass the long wait times when calling BA. Sorry for the confusion.

BA Avios
« Reply #2097 on: June 17, 2014, 03:27:28 PM »
I've been looking for flights from new york to toronto and vice versa using Avios for the months of July and August but there's NO availability whatsoever. When I go to AA to see how much they are charging, it appears that the entire month of August is 40K points.. each leg! What's going on? Is there something wrong with the site or is there just never availability for Avios short hauls in the summer?
