Within 24hrs of the flight, any change or cancel options? Seems like no from old threads etc. still that way? Any workarounds?

I am unaware of any way within 24 hours. Only thing is to hope for a cancellation.

On short hall within Europe, seems same day changes are Free on day of travel (aside for basic econ) cutoff is after check-in/ 1 hour before flight.

Booked a AA flight from CUN to JFK through BA. When checking in I don't see any option to add a checked bag. Can I do it at the airport? Do I have to call BA or AA to add it? I already checked in.

Do transfers from Chase UR / Amex MR still work to reset the expiration clock of BA Avios? And/or does any have recommendations for easy ways for a USA based member to reset the expiration clock? I have about 2 months till expiration.

Also, is there anywhere on the BA website where it actually shows the expiration date?

I found what is arguably a better way to reset the clock on BA Avios: You can donate as few as 125 Avios to charity (and spending any amount of miles resets the 36mo clock).

Here is the link to do so: https://www.bacommunityfund.co.uk/avios

Another pro tip: There was a ~24 hour delay between when I signed up and when I received the registration confirmation link so you just need to be patient on that piece.

How much is BA asking to add a lap infant for a award ticket? If I add the infant when trying to book it prices out 25,500 per person vs without the infant it's 25k per person
3k for infant?

domestic or international?
What I remember from many years ago, domestic add later - at the gate? then it's free?
International, will cost a % of the current ticket price, so book their ticket with yours.

International adult is 25k +$100

International adult is 25k +$100

Then 3000 sounds appropriate.

Didn't work. I donated 125 avios a month ago, and "Card Expiry Date" is still October. Thanks for the idea though

Just book and cancel an award.

OK thanks, I will do that.

In another account, I used the online shopping portal for a small purchase and that worked like a charm. Bought an air filter from Home Depot that I needed anyway, extremely easy. I wanted to try out this idea though just for the sake of trying.
