Are all AAnytime awards on AA bookable with avios?

Works for me.

No, only MileSaaver

You may have to call to book.

No, only MileSAAver. AAnytime awards are for any open seat on any AA flight for double AA miles only.

I am looking at redeeming Avios on NCL to CMN. Only way this routing works is NCL-LHR-MAD-CMN

Can't seem to price it up online or even on the How many Avios required page.

Is this a valid routing? How many miles will it be?

I noticed I can transfer Avios over to IB and then redeem via Royal Air Maroc on the non stop LHR-CMN flight but they want some 40k miles one way.

NCL-LHR-MAD is 7,500 avios (free domestic connection).
MAD-CMN is 4,500 avios.
NCL-LHR-MAD-CMN is 12,000 avios one way.

Are you sure? If that is the case then can I book this as one flight via Avios.com as their map shows this as a RFS 10k one way zone. But then they too don't show the flight online so will does it have to be done manually by the CC?

If it was LHR-CMN direct, but as you connect in MAD you are charged per segment as I described.

I would search for availability on each leg individually and if you cannot get it to show up online then call to book.

Thanks for the quick replies. ^

A quick question. I'm trying to book a redemption flight BLL-MAN-LHR and GLA-LHR-PRG, but BA.com insists a minimum connection time of 120 minutes. The MCI at T5 for instance is 60 minutes IIRC.

Is there any way to get around this? There are options but the connection times are long.

The MCT at T5 is indeed 60 minutes, but at this time of year the chances of you or your bags making it in that time are slim.

PRG departs from T3 iirc so I think it would be a T5-T3 connection which I think is 90min MCT.

Of course! That would be why. Still trying to figure out the MAN deal then.. although perhaps it's an 'across the board' MCT for the BA website.

I have a totally silly question: I'm trying to look for Club Europe availability, but the Book flights with Avios page does not let me select anything else then Economy. I see the drop-down menu, but when I click there, there are no other options. I'm sure that previously I could search for J awards as well. If it matters, it's a household account with relatively few miles in it, but enough for a Band 1 J flight. I've tried multiple browsers, so it does not seem to be the issue.

Have you tried looking via the availability map?

Log into BAEC
Click "spending avios"
"explore and check availability"

Then tick the Reward Flight Saver box, the month of travel, and select "Business". Then see what comes up as available.
