so whats the best option with spg points? what airline should I transfer them to?

Just ignore him. BA is the way to go. As far as how long it will take for the transfer to go through thats a different story.

What are the chances of reimbursement later if he finds another way home? 30k and $166 to get him to NY on United..

I have had times where BA didn't show what turns up on AA. Now I am seeing other way around for an AA flight. Tomorrow from JFK to YUL BA is showing 2 seats available for the 2:59pm flight, and AA is showing nothing, only stopovers.

i've had it in the past. And interestingly the flights showed up on AA a few hours later.

Amusing classic british airways automated voice accents makes the wait a lot less painful:

"make a new booking"
"inQUIries"
"SHedules"
"your car hire"
"an excess baggage allowance"
"if you're RINGING with any other inQUIry"
"please hold the line"
"prih-vacy"

Don't remember which, but I think this was(is) on OS;
"To speak with one of our colleagues in the colleagues dept, press 2"

I am having trouble canceling my BA reservation (for domestic us ticket) online. It is saying that I have to call in to cancel? is the they only way today, is canceling online dead? Can I still get redeposit miles and just lose the taxes?

Thanks guys, need an update.

I had that in the pass, I'm not a pro so I don't know in what it depends but I did cancel then by phone and got back my miles.

Is it less than 24 hours after you made the booking? If it is, you need to cancel on the phone and you should get your money back along with your miles.

+1

and 24 hrs after booking, you should be able to cancel online and lose just the taxes

I'm looking at a flight on BA F. To book through BA the YQ is much higher than if I book the same flight through AA. Is this normal?

Also, IME recently, if your flight was changed at all it needs to be cancelled on the phone, and you get the taxes back as well.

Is it able to book with avios a multi city ticket? I don't see this option online

Chapshnell · « **Reply #2815 on:** December 14, 2014, 07:56:51 AM »

Probably better to book it as one ways anyways

Chapshnell · « **Reply #2816 on:** December 14, 2014, 08:00:22 AM »

Depends on the routing obviously. Should be Workable

If you show both itin at the airport at check in then yes.

Well Im flying ZUR-LON-TLV, and I do see on AA that if I stay in London less then 24 hours, then the taxes are much lower (as the ex-lon taxes are crazy high). so I wanna check it on BA, but i need multicity
