Using Avios for flight to Costa Rica

Wanted to use Avios for a flight from NYC to Costa Rica or some other carribean destination, and can't find ANY availability for the week that I'm interested in. just get a result back that BA doesn't fly routes. Any tricks I could use?

Use AA.com and look for MileSAAver availability, then book through BA.com or over the phone with BA.

Are you sure you're searching for Avios tickets? You normally get that sort of message when searching for cash tickets.

Are you sure you are doing an avios search? You shouldn't get that message (that's what you see if searching for a cash booking) on a non-BA route.

You should see either:
- a list of available flights
- no flights available on your chosen date, with a calendar to move forward/back
- our servers are not responding
- random error message other than "our servers are not responding"

Fly tomorrow?

7 seats on the 1355 from LGA or the 1415 from JFK, connecting onto the 1845 flight from MIA-SJO.

On Friday, plenty of seats to either SJO or LIR.
