Well, I followed your advice...no luck on the BA web site....so I called. This is what I have found:

- If I am traveling TransAtlantic ... I cannot use the miles
- If I am traveling TransPacific ...that is okay

the second is not a good option for me particularly since I am traveling from IAD and I end up with 4 hops before I reach my destination India. (IAD to LA to Hong Kong to Bombay).

Also found out that there are a very restricted number of seats available per leg of every journey. So if you are traveling from A to C via B and back, then you may not get available seats for all the legs of the journey !!!!! Nice way of BA to disallowing & discouraging you to use your miles.

Feels like I m abeing taken for a ride...not on BA of course.

Thanks for your help though.

Mark.
