When I type in the details it says 'We didn't find a match. Please choose different search options.'. I tried other routes to other destinations I know with BA as well as other partner airlines. I'll always get the same message.
Is that a bug? Will it be possible to book it again in a few days time? (I'm not planning to fly before the end of September so booking it now is not urgent).

Anyone else had that problem and might be able to assist?

I now wish I would have booked that flight yesterday. :'(

Many thanks and all the best
Welcome to FlyerTalk!

What route and date?

Yes, you should always book a good redemption as soon as you find it, as all AAdvantage flight awards are now fully refundable.

Was the redemption rate 22,000 miles, or 22,500 miles? A redemption priced at exactly 22,000 would never be a redemption on BA.
