I am looking for a ticket from LGA-ORD on the 30th of May and returning on the 2nd of June. AA.com shows availability on both days for multiple flights on sAAver. I wanted the  12:25pm on the outbound, and the 7:35pm on the return. BA.com is showing the 12:25pm departure, but not the 7:35pm return. Is there any way to force the site to show the flight, or do I have to call?

sometimes ba only shows the first certain number of flights. So if your searching nyc-ord try searching lga-ord. If not you may just have to call.

trying to get YUL - DFW on June 20,
AA shows sAAver availability (7:20pm #2772) with a stop-over in ORD. BA doesn't show it and when I try to book as 2 separate awards it only shows the morning ORD-DFW flights. Any trick to get them to show the evening (#2359) flight?
Thanks

If I made a BA Avios award booking (one way) for next week, and I found a cheap paid-for fare.  Can I cancel the BA reservation online for free and get my 10k Avios back, or is there a fee or forfeiture involved?  If so, how?  Thanks very much.

You'll forfeit the taxes paid IIRC but you'll get back the miles

Thanks - is there any risk that I not get that back because it is not in their rules?

Indeed.

Dan - can you please confirm that cancelling an Avios award booking refunds everything but the $2.50 in taxes for domestic flight on AA, and the procedure for doing so?  Thanks.

why do u need dan for that? theres plenty of ppl that know that answer, and plenty of place on this forums that its been spoken about.

ill let you use the search bar, and ill tell you the answer while im at it.:

when canceling a domestic Avios ticket within 24 hours you need to call BA and ull get everything back. After 24 hours of booking, you can do it online yourself and ull get all points back usually right away minus the taxes..

He probably knows that. Just annoying that it doesn't show up.
yup. annoying
