The flights I want in January 2016 popped up on the British Airways rewards website early Friday morning (0 economy class seats, 7 business seats available).
Called American Airlines to use my miles to book this flight combo, several American Airlines agents can't see it.
Would prefer to use American miles, but figured might have to use AVIOS instead, so I tried booking on the BA website since it is showing the exact flight combination I want- no go. When I try to book it online I get an error message saying to call BA Executive Club. When I ask agents to book it at BA Executive Club they are also unable; they can't see the award as being available.
Has something like this happened to anyone else? Is there an explanation for what is going on? Any suggestions/ workarounds for getting these flights booked with my miles?
Lan Peru started a domestic sale yesterday so that explains the wide open availability. I booked a reward tix the day before auuurghh
