BA Avios availability

[ah41187]

I booked a flight from LAX- JFK using Avios for an AA flight. that i need to change the date. BA's site shows nothing available. Is there a 'workaround' over the phone that I can use to get the date changed, despite the site saying no availability?

Alot of people sell points, including BA points. You would then have than to buy AA points for your  American flight.

So there's J that I need that's not showing on BA and is showing as a Saver in AA.

I followed the post and called BA and HUCA and not one seems to be able to 'release' awards.

They said they can just see what I see...
