LAX to NRT a few weeks ago. Nothing available at all according to BA's website, even when "including partners". Plenty on AA.. so I of course went AA. I didn't call in. By the way I basically struck out to every destination in Asia on BA. According to their website anyhow. Is that tool not worth using?? I do notice that now BA has a disclaimer when searching for mileage redemptions that: "You can currently only make BA Miles bookings on American Airlines via our contact centres, so please call us to book.
It is temporarily not possible to do this online". But, that wasn't there before.
