Thanks, but the OP is seeking Business Extra PlanAheAAd award seats, not at all the same thing as AAdvantage MileSAAver awards.

Don't they pull from the same availability bucket, though?

I think, from my experience with the Biz Extra awards, is they may be more limited. Personally, I joined after a lot of AA urging and I've not been impressed.

Does anyone know the bucket for Biz awards?

I was told by them its same buckets but have some anomalies in how theyre booked compared to aadvantage awards.

As mentioned above for a BX6B if there is MileSAAver space showing at aa.com it should be bookable through Business Extra. I book a lot through Business Extra and this has mostly always been true, with one weird exception (I wanted to fly with a connection from SNA to LHR via DFW as the only first class space I could find was DFW-LHR, and SNA-DFW had space and aa.com displayed the itinerary, but Business Extra tried to tell me they don't have space if ticketed together ... it made absolutely no sense). Anyway, the overall key with your BX6B is it must be on AA metal. So your options into Europe are limited. If you want to take the 777-300 to LHR, your award to Europe will end there. Any BA flights from LHR-Europe will need to be booked separate. If you want to get to Rome or Zurich, you need to find a AA metal departure landing in that city.

An important note is as of tomorrow this is [supposedly] changing. Starting tomorrow, when Business Extra merges with BA's On Business in North America, Business Extra awards will be available for travel on BA and Iberia metal. What I was told is it's going to be a completely different award tho. So an award on British in first class from the United States to Europe will be 20,000 points. There will be no saver awards on BA. The representative I spoke seemed to think this will be Anytime space (or close to it). However, this probably doesn't help you with your existing BX6B. But there's a chance BA space will be available tomorrow so it may not hurt trying back in a couple days to see how this develops ...

Ah, AAnomalies! ;) That must have been what happened to me. Thanks for passing that on.

AA / Business Extra will now be offering partner awards on British and Iberia:

I can't really figure out how fuel surcharges will work here. All I see is "All taxes and fees, assessed at the time of ticketing are the responsibility of the passenger." I was hoping this might be a way out of some of those exorbitant BA fees.

Also - there's BE mileage earning on partners now.

Looks like its the same YQ as AAdvantage called a little earlier to test. The agent initially thought it was a mistake I guess she had never seen AAdvantage rewards before.

Apologies is this has been covered up-thread, but are the points expiring anymore? I cannot find the expiration dates of my points on the new BE site.

Points still expire. There have been no changes to this. If you go to your account detail page, you will see the expiration by year.

Thanks! I kept clicking on Account Summary in the details box on the right side of the page, but it never showed the points expirations.

I had to click on the My Account in the nav to get there.

If true, this is really disappointing. I have flown ten tickets on US Airways ticket stock between January 1 and April 30, 2015. April 30 is the current last-posted-date on Business Extra.

Before I request retro credit for these flights, can someone confirm whether US Airways tickets are or are not eligible for Business Extra credit.

My account hasn't been updated either though it does say "Your data will become available on the 13th of each month" . :p

Hopefully the data will update soon. :)
