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!!

No point in calling, whatever is open on aa in the saaver section will be open on ba too. Simple.

Oysh...Is there no hope?

Meaning - is it possible availability will be added in the next few days? If yes, how often should I check the site?

How do I bring up Air Berlin or Aer Lingus flights on BA.com?
Is that something that need to be done over the phone?

AJK · « **Reply #346 on:** January 08, 2013, 01:33:52 PM »

No.

Yes. Or Qantas.

Dan · « **Reply #347 on:** January 08, 2013, 02:15:51 PM »

Air Berlin does show up on BA.com when available.
Just search AA.com nonstop only to find 'em and then plugin the dates into BA.com.

For 7,500 avios u will only be able to get direct flights from NYC to MIA.

If I have both AA points and BA points am I better of booking NYC to MIA using 12.5k AA or 7.5 BA? How are the AA points valued compared to the BA points?

Use BA.

Does the analysis change if I would need to convert UR to Avios?

AJK · « **Reply #352 on:** January 16, 2013, 07:13:10 PM »

It does change the analysis, but the result is the same.

7.5K UR = ~$140
12.5K AA = ~$200

Where can I find the BA avios award chart on their website? Is it distance-based? Where are they hiding it?

They don't publish one. You can use Iberia's for reference, though.

It is distance-based.

Hmm... Unless I'm missing something, I don't see a published chart at your link.

Im trying to find tickets on Air Lingus using BA Avios for 4/3- 4/9 or 4/10, from Boston to Dublin. Having trouble finding availability. They only show me BA flights. Can You also fly to Ireland for same amount of points? Thanks!

Ergel · « **Reply #358 on:** March 14, 2013, 01:35:14 PM »

Apparently no one publishes aer lingus award space correctly. PUTPAC

Thanks! Will BA let me fly Air Lingus if there is availability on BA? Also, I never saw it on DD, but a friend mentioned I can fly to Scotland (Glasgow) for the same amount of Avios. Is this correct?
