Does the BA reward flight search automatically include al available flights with partner airlines, such as AA, or are there limitations on what you can book through BA and it does not include all flights you would normally be able to book if booking directly with a partner airline, like AA?
Thanks
AA makes its award seats to AAdvantage members -- at dynamic redemption rates -- as long as there are still seats available on a particular flight. By contrast, partners like BA can only access AA award seats when AA is making them available to AAdvantage members at relatively low redemption rates.
In short, not every AA flight which is available with AAdvantage miles will be available with Avios.
