Well I also dont see why not, But it does not search to GIB, tried even just from LON-GIB, it dosent give me results
Weird PUTPAC. It also could be that they can't. I know AA can't book certain IB and BA routes. Maybe this is one of them.

I don't see why not. You're looking for BA? Or LY for the first leg? You have to call up to book LY.

LY probably wouldn't work, as AA is very into the whole "published routing" thing.

1)Can anyone recommend a tour guide for GIB? (do you need one?)
2) Is there a list of kosher restaurants? Are they any good?
Will be driving from Seville for the day.

I walked into 1 restaurant that Google found as "kosher" and the guy behind the counter was like, "Well, let's just say we don't have any certification." Nice of him not to trick me.

1. we did not use a tour guide just the map from the hotel. the rock, the marina, the jewish cemetary ( did not visit) , the shuls.
2. http://www.jewishgibraltar.com/restaurant.php 2 listed. i went to tamid. they dont take CC. food was ok if you really need it but not worth the price. either use the deli or the bakery. just prepare for sticker shock at the conversion rate unless you're using Euros.
also, super friendly people. would definitely recommend staying for shabbos. you can email the "board" to have someone host you. they might take a while to get back to you so you should call.
drive from Seville is great. look for windfarms. very cool. after shabbos we drove up the "costa del sol" to Granada. beautiful.

I took a tour guide and he was great.
You don't need one specifically if you have a car, but be prepared to climb up the rock with your car

http://www.buzzfeed.com/abagg/watch-this-monkey-steal-and-eat-a-sandwich-right-out-of-a-to?bffbvid&utm_term=4ldqpj5#.bny0Z2Zg7 Amazing!

Ha! I experienced that first-hand, although in my case two of them grabbed the knapsack off my back and started emptying it. Lesson learned - if you take a bag or knapsack, hold or wear it in front of you - they don't attempt to steal that way.


Ape eating our food.

why not just take the cable car up

+1. There's a parking lot at the base.
