AA Award using BA and US - Questions
ORY-LHR-ORD-PHX-LAS
I am looking at the following award ticked for 2 people. BA LHR-ORD first class. 1) Can I add US flights (domestic first class) onward (LHR-PHX-LAS) in US on same award with no additional miles? Both the BA and US flights show as available on AA.com. 2) On the front end can I add a local BA award (ORY-LHR) again for no additional miles? This sequent does not show on AA.COM, but paid tickets are wide open on the BA site.
Thanks for any help. This is a convoluted itinerary because no wards flights in business or first show as available.

The availability of "paid" tickets on a particular flight does not equate to availability of award seats on the same flight.
If Business Class is acceptable, call AA and ask about awards utilizing IB, which will never show on aa.com. Similarly, if you can depart from BRU rather than PAR, call AA and ask about routings utilizing 9W for BRU-EWR/YYZ.
