Flights from Boston to San Diego

Hello All

I cannot seem to find flights from Boston to San Diego on the June 3rd 2015.

I can see some flights using AA.com. Is this the only way to see availability ?

If so, then the only way of booking is to call BA directly ?

Thanks

I see one nonstop flight available which is on Alaska Airlines. To redeem BA avios on AS you have to call.

There are 5 connecting flights (routing through PHL, ORD, MIA, or JFK) that appear to be available. ba.com often has trouble finding connecting reward flights. You can search for and book these connecting flights individually or call BAEC to book them together.

I am assuming if I go through Miami and then San Diego, it would cost me more Avios miles since the distance is greater as opposed to flying direct from Boston to San Diego ?

Which is the best office to phone at midnight to add the return leg to a 241 booking for which the outbound has been booked online.
I was planning on Singapore or Hong Kong but they are not open at that time.

Yes. You pay per segment with avios. So BOS-MIA-SAN which involves two different flights (that is, the service is not on a single flight number) will cost you the avios for BOS-MIA and MIA-SAN.

As long as this is not a TA booking then UuA is fine - you will have to call. For a TA booking it has to be BA flights only to allow a UuA to be done.

Yes, Qantas flies SYD-ZQN and seasonally from BNE/MEL. You may need to call to book however.
