Q2. Booking AA flights to and from the US. do the Avios required change or are they wholly dependable on the distance between A and B and do not fluctuate. ?
Q3. Does US airways flight availability show on AA website or is that a separate site to go on ?
Thanks. Used Avios for many trips but never internal in the US or with AA.
An aa.com award search for domestic flights will show award-seat availability on AA, US, AS, and HA. Avios can be used to redeem "SAAver" seats on AA, AS, and US, but not HA. BAEC will charge the requisite number of Avios as determined by BAEC's redemption chart; the amount may be more, less, or exactly the same as what AA would charge, depending on the distance traveled, and whether connecting flights are required. (BAEC charges for each flight flown; AAdvantage awards include any necessary connections on a permissible routing.)

AA and US award flights are bookable at ba.com; redemptions on AS require a call to a BAEC Service Center.
