? ba flight availability with aa miles
We have planned a trip to italy and sicily in oct. 2024. Our return trip is on 10/16/2024 nap/lhr/iad. I have been able to put lhr/iad in f on ba on hold. I can't find flights on ba nap/lhr in any class that whole week. Ba shows award availability on all days in both economy and business. What are my options?

I've tried this, but even when you can find availability, I find that it ends up getting priced as two separate awards on AA.com.

The OP might also find this thread instructive:

Hmm, I was not aware of this and when I booked last year it showed up as two separate award redemptions, even though I did it over the phone with an EXP agent. If they were combined into a single award redemption, would it typically have saved miles in a case like this?
