I'm getting this when trying to book intra-Japan JL flights (with tons of availability).

I've tried different credit cards, phone numbers & address formats, with/without EC membership number, etc.

The only thing "different" I can think of is that I transferred UR points into my account this morning, but they instantly showed up. And, I've done this transfer/immediate redemption before without issue.
Nope, BA is completely scamming. This error means the flight seats actually aren't available. Call EC and hit the prompt to book with Avios. The rep will tell you it's "incorrect website availability".
