AA award availability with Iberia Avios
« on: December 16, 2016, 08:48:49 AM »
I am trying to book an AA DTW-LGA flight using Iberia Avios. There is wide saver award availability which also shows on ba.com. However nothing shows on Iberia (on any date I tried!), and calling them doesn't help. Any ideas?

You can always transfer from IB to BA avios. (Once it's open for 3 months and some activity)

I was trying to take advantage of the lower Avios price at Iberia.

if a flight is s showing as available with saver miles both on AA and BA, but not showing as available on Iberia, should I call Iberia?
Is that how it works?
this is for a domestic flight in the US - flight is an AA flight
and thanks to everyone who takes the time to answer all these questions!

yes try calling iberia... 1-800-772-4642
their customer service is not the greatest and their english is definitely a barrier but you should be able to get it done by calling.
