This issue has returned. After booking AA flights a couple of weeks ago on ba.com it is now showing zero availability in Y when AA is showing sAAver flights available. Business is showing up but not for all the options displayed on AA.com.
Really frustrating that this is so unreliable.

If we need to call to investigate, who do you recommend we call to try to investigate and book? The NY/Queens Call Centre? The London Centre? I've seen some people have success in Singapore on other sites, too. Any recommendations?

I'm finding some availability but typically, the one day out of the entire month I need to travel, ideally overnight, nothing unless I want to arrive a little after midnight or have to fork out £250+ for a hotel for a few hours
Have noticed that for LAX-JFK and SFO-JFK for my date, and around it, only first class redemptions (the LAX flights have 1-3 seats on every flight that day). Last year when I wanted first, practically zero outside of Y but booked an MCE seat and had a lovely flight with a middle free eastbound and another time with all 3 seats to myself.
Might easier just paying the £140 and earning a few Avios etc.

As for where to book, just make a note of the flights you want when you see sAAver seats on aa.com and call BA to book.

If I ring up to book something like SFO-LAX-JFK, would it cost 7500 + 12500 Avios + 2 x £4.30 or would the money component be higher?
Playing around with prices for separate legs, the whole lot etc. and not sure if it's best to price it up as separate flights or combined (looking at a layover in LAX to possibly grab a late breakfast and lunch in the QF lounge).
Overnights cost more in £ so might be better as reward flights than some cheaper day flights.

Still having the issue. Loads of flights available on AA.com yet nothing on BA.com.
Rang BA up and they can see no availability.
Got a flight booked for the day before I want to travel, but I want to spend an extra day on the west coast.
