First time BA flyer question
I purchased a ticket through aa.com, purchased fare class was I, which according to BA flight calculator is 1.5x the Avios miles. I've flown all segments of the flight, but have ended up with 1.25x the Avios miles. Was this due to booking through aa.com? Tier points were awarded as specified, but the Avios were not.

An AA code will, indeed, issue 1.25x the base avios for a flight (try the calculator - but switch to American Airlines).

The critical thing is that you bought the AA flight number. It's the flight number on your ticket (not the prime flight number of the operating airline) that governs the earning rate.
