How do i access my BA reservation through AA site? Do i need to go to Finnair first?

If it's an AA flight, you can go to AA site and use your BA record locator, first, and last name.

Still a good price to pay ~$850 for a RT ticket, but not as good.
+30k avios
Not so great for a trip you weren't planning on taking anyway.

I booked to LHR, FCO and CDG.

My real goal is to get to TLV.

Which is my best option?

Checked ITA - looking for which one has the best J/F availability to TLV


Also looks like the flights from PHL - FCO & PHL - CDG are not light flat like EWR - LHR

I cannot register for the BA 25K promo. They say I'm not eligible for this offer.

Anyone else had similar issues?

Does the 25k promo just require that I register and fly? I dont have to enter it anywhere in my reservation that was made prior to registering, correct?

Is your BA account registered in the USA?

Yes. I'm guessing you booked AA, possibly made a change w/in 24 hours to the itinerary.

I did that, and they ticketed a week later. Don't worry as long as your reservation is confirmed.
