Im looking to book a flight for 2 ppl, but only one is showing up. Is there good chance a second seat will show once I grab the 1st? It's an American flight from LGA to YYZ. On AA.com it also doesn't show when I put in 2 ppl.

Does AA show 2 seats available?

If so, it's available. If not, book one then keep checking back for the 2nd.

I've gotten last minute seats on that route a few times but usually very last minute. When's it for?

April 23

As I wrote in OP AA does not.

Buy 1. Your risk is $5.60 up until 24 hrs before the flight. And keep checking. Another may open. Availability w BA changes constantly.

It's What I did although I can wait till 24hrs before. If nothing shows up within 24hrs, I will cancel and rebook 2 on a morning flight, despite that being very inconvenient.

It may be worth grabbing the morning flight seats as well just in case...

I am only seeing TAM availability on the NYC-YYZ routes. I checked a few different months. Any idea why? I need for 2 passengers

Do you specifically want to fly AA?

Well Tam flies once a day and AA flies a few times a day, so looking for options. But Not a single AA flight has shown up in over 2 months worth of searches.

Seeing that now. Try AA.

I see AA showing in June. Though still not sure why nothing is showing sooner.

AA.com has limited availability for Economy MilesAAver, but those flights are not even showing up on BA.com. I wonder why

If you see the AA flights on AA, just call BA to book. Make sure they waive the fee though.

I know. Its just annoying. Not sure why nothing is showing up on BA. But even AA has much more limited availability.

Weird.

have been looking for flights from NYC to Vancouver for a couple of months now for my in-laws. Any clue as to why BA.com has absolutely no availability throughout the whole summer? I was hoping to pick up two business seats on Cathy Pacific, but nothing seems to be available at all.

Cathay usually opens seats 1-2 days before the flight, or randomly many months in advance.

Is it showing up on aa? Sometimes you need to put in JFK or lga instead of NYC.

Don't have access to aa . need to get on the 1:40 PM flight

Just go to aa.com and search. If you have access to BA.com you have access to aa.com. Don't need an account to search

I'm flying in tomorrow morning but can't get a return ticket.
