BA redemption help
« Reply #323 on: December 25, 2012, 09:27:28 PM »
I am looking at AA website and it shows award availability (12.5 from mia to nyc) but BA doesn't.
The executive club office is closed and I need to book for tomorrow.

Any ideas???

Avios go by each leg so you will have to search each leg seperate and pay for each leg

But it won't price out for just 7,500, it will be more.

Need some help here:

Trying to book ATL-LGA 1/13 on AA anytime after 1 pm with Avios. Was showing avail yesterday, but today only showing avail for the 9am.

Is there anyway for me to get on the 1:10pm flight? (flight 4648)

Should I try to call BA?

Thanks!!
