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.

I've noticed that if you use the UK site, you don't get any of those super annoying date format changes when searching.

For some reason I had that issue when booking lga-ord a few weeks ago. Maybe it's an anti Chicago thing. I ended up calling ba and booked over the phone.

Figured out a way to get around error issue by adding a 3 dollar donation... New issue is that it doesn't let me select a date for the dob.

Just don't enter the DOB. I booked a ticket 6 hours ago with incognito w/o entering the DOB.

If there's only one ticket available, will a 2BM work?
