American doesn't fly direct from NYC to cabos, so it won't show on ba.

okay. Would you happen to know the best route to get there from NYC? Do they fly direct from NYC to any island in Mexico?

The only nonstop from NYC to Cabo is on united from EWR. On aa you could fly from NYC to cancun.

okay thanks! The problem with cancun is there is basically no availability on aa saver in August. Do you think it's too early to be looking for this flight? Or whatever they have now is what they will have?

okay so I best the best way to go about it is to constantly look on aa.com?

Quote from: AJK on April 24, 2013, 10:47:03 PM

Or pay for a service like Expert Flyer to check for you.

Who checks BA.com before checking AA.com anyway?
Also I never book BA as a RT ticket, you lose more tax in case you want to change one-way.

This may affect other airlines as well besides AA.

BA prices each leg separately, so you if you want that exact itin you would need to book each separately

Find an available flight with milesaaver on aa.com, then put the exact dates and airports (i.e. LGA, JFK, not NYC) into ba.com.
