It says "discounted", but it doesn't come out to my first booking.

I Didn't even get a verify membership page, application process took two minutes.

Beyond the application - once you login, you have to verify you are a member to get to the page to get the discount....many people are reporting issues on other forums...moot point now, everything has gone up $400

Well, I had no issues logging in and getting the $440 price earlier.

It's gone up $400 or the $400 AARP isn't working?

Prices have gone up $400 on the deal - I can't verify the $400 comes off AARP because I can't get in.

When logged into AARP, the prices say "discounted", but not showing same prices to get the $4xx tickets.

Still a good price to pay ~$850 for a RT ticket, but not as good.

Booked at the office and didn't have the card I wanted to use.
What are the odds they would let me switch my payment method for something that's already been ticketed?
Hey there! I am using WhatsApp.

I see that Ba wants an extra $130 per ticket to select seats. I mean really?? For business class tickets?? Or am I missing something?

Strange, they let me pick seats on a LHR-TLV trip in economy a few weeks in advance without charge. Maybe because i had an infant with me.

Dan, first thanks for the post. I was crushed when the DC flights died out but got in on a Philadelphia flight to Rome. It is an AA operated flight, am I missing a way to select my seats? It didn't give me the option on the BA site and wants me to pay extra.
