Transfering Avios from BAEC to Avios.com
Hello All,
I would like to book a hotel stay and want to move avios from my British Airways account to my avios.com account.
Is this possible in anyway?
Second Question : How do i find the required avios for a booking. The BAEC page keeps telling me to call a contact center.
Thank you in advance

You can transfer the miles from your BAEC account under "Manage my account"/"Combine my Avios".
Don't understand the second question sorry!

Thanks flibbly. My second question was, more of if I fail to move my avios from BAEC to Avios.com how do I find out the number of avios required to book a hotel via the BAEC site.
In particular I want to book two nights at the crowne plaza monomotapa Harare Zimbabwe. On avios.com its 53000 avios. Would it be the same on BAEC?

@pauln I think maybe because of the region my BAEC account is set to we do not have the ability to book online. That said I managed to move my avios from BAEC to Avios.com but now I have another problem.. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/briti...ying-book.html

If you try to book via avios.com the region does not matter, as your account must be in the UK only.
In BAEC, if your account is in a region that you cannot book hotels, you can't select the option from the menu.
I suppose it's the website that is broken, just try calling.

I have the same trouble as you in that I can't enter the book hotels with Avios section through my BAEC account due to being based here. It tells me to call my centre - a recent post here by a member said they were asked to pay an offline booking fee when doing so which is a bit rich.

I finally managed to make the hotel booking with some trouble!
sufficient to say last time I will be using avios to book a hotel. 40minutes of tinkering on the internet was a pain. The avios online help kept telling me it was my browser. In actual fact it was the fact that i was making the booking from an internet connection that was out of GB
