CX F Availability shows up on BA but rep claims n/a
 
I just called the AAdvantage reservation to change my booking and checked availability through BA's website. The flight shows one available seat in F class, but when I called the rep claims that there are no seats available (F, J or Y). Does this seem right?

This would seem like a question for either the CX or BA boards.

Thanks. I'm redeeming through AA so I figured this is the right board for the question. Can a mod transfer this post please?

Thanks again.

Hang up and call again

Call back. I've been in the same situation before and I've politely insisted that there should be a seat available and then the agent does something different and voila, it's available.

Bacopa May 28, 2012 7:17 pm

Thanks for the advice guys. Called again, and I got the same answer. :(

I'll try my luck later in the evening.

How exactly were you able to persuade the agent? Thanks

There is one lady at aa which always says there is nothing. I got her about twice and both times she claimed there is absolutely nothing in December. I call back and there was availability every week. One of their reps is really bad. Not only that I knew she was lazy because it took her about 2-3 seconds and then she says nothing is available for the entire month of December.

Call back and you should get someone more helpful.

Unfortunately, no! I'll try to see if giving them the flight no helps. Thanks

Could it be the case that BA's website has not been updated yet? Tried again with no luck. :(

Bacopa May 28, 2012 7:47 pm

Finally got someone nice enough to look through flights. Got the flight I wanted booked. Thanks everyone for all the advice!

Thanks for keeping us informed!

We've left the thread here, as it is about award travel using AAdvantage miles on a partner. We may merge it onto the current appropriate thread.

You need to call CX Res for seats assignments beyond 6 months:
