I am hoping to use EC miles to get home from Ireland this fall. On the BA website "Spending BA miles" page the only airport listed in Ireland is Shannon.

But when I do a search for award flights from SNN to YYC I get the dreaded "British Airways and its partners do not fly this route."

Any suggestions much appreciated.

P.S. I realize that I will have to connect through LHR to get to YYC. It is the SNN ( or DUB, etc. ) to LHR part of the trip that is causing EC booking problems.
You cannot book EI award flights (or AS award flights, for that matter) on ba.com. You must call the BAEC Service Center to do so.
