However for economy, BA shows availability but the AAgent says there is none. So far I had had a perfect record of BA and AA availability matching up. But this is the first time I ask for economy. Is there a similar issue with BA economy as there is with QF first, where the agents look for the incorrect bucket availability?
Oddly, this is also the case for me. I just got off the phone with an EXP agent (very cut and dry) and said no availability for CX flights (in business) that I saw on BA partner award site. Just few days ago, everything was matched perfectly, but looks like there is either a temporary system communication problem OR AA is starting to do something similar to *NET blocking!
