Avios redemptions on American Airlines
 

I have been looking for Avios redemptions on AA for internal US flights. There are dozens of economy miles saver flights showing available on AA.com but nothing on BA.com over a spread of months which is very unusual . Is this a glitch with the BA website? Would BAEC be able to see availability which I can’t see? Thanks for any advice

I booked award flights with avios on BA for all AA flights/metal. But I can't seem to get them to show up in my AA account (though selecting seats takes me to AA). I need to get these linked up b/c of TSA precheck. Is there any way to do this online?

If you go in to the booking on AA.com using the AA PNR (i.e. the one shown when you are selecting seats on ba.com) you can add your KTN at the bottom in the passenger details area.

If you want to change the frequent flyer number associated with the booking then you need to use the finnair MMB with the BA PNR, take out your BA number, give it a few minutes, then add in your AA number.

You need to get the AA locator code from BA though entering that into the AA equivalent of MMB generally finds it.

IIRC you can also find it via the MMB equivalent on QF and I think AY websites.

yes after ticketing, on AA.com you can go to 'Your Trips/Check In" scroll down past the itin to where your name is and there should be a link there to edit your information and the field for Redress or Known Traveler Number/TSA precheck number should be available to you to enter and save.

i've just done this 3 times today.

Thanks, everyone, I was able to see that BA already added my KTN to the AA PNR, so that's good. KARFA, good to know re Finnair! LOL. B/c I could not change the BA # to my AA #. I think since I'm hooked into my KTN, I don't think I'll need to switch the #s out but maybe in the future.
