Using BA miles for AA ticket on hold
« on: October 11, 2010, 11:23:20 AM »
I currently have a reservation on hold with AA, I would rather use my BA miles for this flight. Does anyone know if there is a way to book the ticket with BA miles?

Also whats the best way to redeem BA miles on AA flights

If there is still availability just call BA and start again.

If there isn't availability then you can risk canceling it and hoping it will go back to being available, but that's a gamble.

 went thru this a few times this past Shabbos

 It finally sank in to them when I told them a Partner of a Partner isnt the 1st ones Partenr (unless all 3 are apart of the same Alliance)

 Then I said if you and I are partners in an Import/Export biz and the guy across the street and I are Partners in a construction company, does that mean you and that guy across are partners as well or that you can expect to get things from the construction biz simply cause you are partners with me in another venture

 end result a AA code share on ElAl will earn 0 BA miles and BA miles can not be used for flying on ElAl. The same will be true if BA has a partnership with any Carrier that isnt apart of OW (OneWorld Alliance)  wont earn or be able to cash in AA miles on those flights
