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.

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

Will it ticket without the DOB?

Worked by me had to call ba to add dob though. IME adding on aa is not enough to get it ticketed.
Btw didn't have to give 3 dollar donation 1 dollar was enough by selecting other amounts.

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.

Thanks, this finally worked for me! I selected "other" and donated $1. We'll see if it pulls the DOB from my profile.

I had the problem with some AA bookings last week. There were no options in the select boxes for date of birth. I tried using three different browsers.

I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

You're not being clear.

Are you asking about changing within 24 hours after making the booking or within 24 hours before the scheduled flight?
