oneworld partner availability
I was trying to book a business class flight from BOM-YYZ on miles departing on June 20th and and returning on August 13th 2010. But there is no availability for British Airways or any of their partner airlines for the next month.
I read on the forums that there may be some problem with the online booking system so I called the BAEC customer centre.
I was surprised to hear from the agent that BA does not offer any reward bookings on partner airlines (incl. Oneworld) for transatlantic flights.
Is this true or was the agent I spoke to misinformed?
I been noticing that availability for BA reward flights has diminished since the last year, is this only my sector or everyone in general due to the ongoing strikes?

Hi,
The only restriction IIRC is that you cannot redeem miles on AA flights transatlantic ( incl India-USA flights) but other carriers should be ok ( availability of course is a different matter)
Maybe try phoning again to see if you get another agent?
Good luck!
