PEBKAC: Don't forget to click to include partners after searching.

No need to call and pay $, I did nothing fancy to get that online besides search LGA-MIA and then include partners on the next screen.

I found that sometimes when searching at ba.com if they say there are No flights available it helps to search 7 days in advance and then search up to 7 days earlier

BA.com isn't good with connections, try booking the nonstops separately.

It seems like best way for it too show up is to enter dates that are 7 days ahead/behind flight dates needed, and then when there's availability, change the dates.

Hard to help when you don't post all the details.
Route/date?

If you post the AA flight numbers with sAAver awards and class of service desired I'll be happy to give BA.com a spin.

steeeveknowsbest · « **Reply #35 on:** April 09, 2012, 12:42:19 AM »

Thanks as i mentioned earlier;

If you don't see a MileSAAver on AA.com there's nothing I can do for you.

If someone sees a MileSAAver flight on AA.com but not on BA.com, then feel free to use this thread.

steeeveknowsbest · « **Reply #37 on:** April 09, 2012, 12:46:31 AM »

yup... i got that now i'm still learning , i just confused mileSAAver with super saver, thanks anyways

Why the change in thread title? Shouldn't this stay as it was - the master thread for all award flights?

Dan made a new thread for this and left the old thread where it is

Thanx. I removed my previous post.

Shouldn't it be merged with this thread
