I’ve had exactly the same issue within the past week for a flight (also JFK - LHR but 2 Oct). In my case the flight was still showing in the BA app (and my flights on BA). I hung on a few dats to see if the flight was cancelled but it remained.

I contacted AA via Twitter - which got a quick reply (who I made the booking with) and they reinstated the exact same flight but with a new reservation number (just for the that flight).

As an aside, my flights on the BA app (and web) still show the original reservation plus the new one and I have two different seats on the same flight assigned! I’ll need to ring to sort that out but building up to it…..

I had a similar thing with the app with some upcoming flights where I had to change the AA elements. However if you go into MMB on the website it's should show your flights correctly. Also the AA flights should be ok on their app.

More than likely some more wondrous IT from BA

Unfortunately lads it is missing on both the BA app and the AA apps and websites, despite it previously being on there.

BA still selling tickets for BA115 on 1 October (for £1,877 one way in economy).

I’ll call AA tomorrow and see what they say.

Very similar (see posts upthread) to the consequences of an timing change of 4mins I had recently which did not break connecting times thus I had no need to double check the itinerary, but actually deleted a segment of the itinerary.

Although AA have not explained exactly what the issue was, synch issues AA/BA were one of the explanations given and it would seem like a recommendation is that if you get any 'time of your flight has changed' notification to check all segments are still there.

Update: just checked my next trip on AA app, 'timing change' shows, again inconsequential at first glance but instead of LAX-PHX-SEA now rerouted LAX-SEA.


Definitely something funny going on!

Was similar with me as regards the arrival time in LAX. Meanwhile was booked on a JFK-LAX that left before I arrived in JFK. Then was also booked on LHR-LAX direct. Got through to someone and it was sorted in 10 minutes thankfully.

Final (hopefully) update on the BA/AA mystery -

I had one final check this morning on the AA website, but this time I had a message saying couldn't display trip contact reservations. I thought that was ominous. On the BA side of things, it still showed 6/7 flights with the LHR-JFK missing.

Got through to a very helpful AA customer service agent on the UK phone line after 20 minutes of waiting. She checked the itinerary and from what she could see at her end everything was fine schedule wise, but she couldn't understand for love nor money why the itinerary wasn't showing on the website record locator. She even tried it on the public website to double-check I wasn't entering a wrong record number. After that she put me on hold for five minutes to consult with other departments.

She came back and she said it was AA's understanding that BA115 (AA6928) will be cancelled on 1 October. Remarkably, BA is still selling tickets for this flight (one-way business class currently retailing for £7,896) at the time of writing.

The agent very helpfully rebooked me onto DUB-ORD in business and ORD-LAX in domestic first - I still get the points I need for silver and I arrive four hours earlier in LAX than originally planned.

I know some readers will question why I would want status on such a shoddy airline after this but I fly GLA/EDI-London once or twice a month and lounge access would make my work trips a lot more pleasant.

Thanks as always to Flyertalk posters for their help and advice.

That's interesting to know as I'm on the 115 on 27/09 so will keep an eye on it. So far it's just been some AA changes that have caused the booking to go out of sync.

Like a few on here, I've got a BUD->Hawaii trip planned leaving just after Christmas. Routing is BUD-LHR-PHL-PHX-HNL. Ticket is booked on AA. Obviously there's a good chance of further swaps and schedule changes. I've just had a seat change email for the LHR-PHL on BA. Was a 789 with old CW config, but I had 7K at the back of the mini-cabin. But it's now on a non-refurbished 77N. Also, there has been a schedule change with the flight leaving 10 minutes earlier.

So wondering if there's any chance I can use this as an opportunity to switch to an earlier AA flight to PHL then an afternoon PHL-PHX. Wasn't keen on having to overnight in PHL then a 6am departure and a potentially spicy 48 minute connection in PHX in case of winter weather in the northeast. Changing would give me a nice leisurely wakeup with no chance of missing my PHX-HNL, which is on a 789 while the next flight is on a much less appealing A321.

Hey everyone - anyone aware of any routings/offers out to Asia at the moment?

been trying the usual searches from HEL/ARN/OSL etc to BKK/SIN/KUL but not found much for a late October or early November departure for a couple weeks in J.

Ultimately we’re looking to get to Indonesia (DPS or LOP)

thanks in advance for any suggestions on routing :-)

Hi Chris,

Might be best to try the AUH - CGK on UL, usually booking within 3 months allows 560 TP for around £800 (its been mentioned a few times on this thread) it still represents good value. As it stands Sri Lanka is totally safe and the airport is unaffected by any of the protests currently taking place. The only thing to consider is if your travel insurance would be valid flying in/out of Sri Lanka given the travel advisories in place.

Folks,

as some of you remember/know, @ISTFlyer and I were planning some DOs over the summer.

yesterday we had our pre-DO event at Istanbul and today we’re off to IST-LHR-MIA-LAX-SEA wirh overnights in London and Los Angeles.

we are planning to do something similar next summer again. So if you’re interested in a tier point run with a fun group, contact me.

I wish you all a wonderful summer and save travels

I think this needs its own thread so we can follow the adventure!

I pulled out because plans changed and I can no longer reasonably reach GGL so I stuck to gold which was already planned elsewhere.

Safe travels, and enjoy!

Nephoi

we will do a full report shortly and then link it here.

You can join us next year…

I hope someone with a bright mind and experience could help me with finding a tier point run.

It seems my company is not returning to long haul travel for a while and just doing trips in Europe. The furthest I am going is warsaw in the next 2-3 months (fairly open on dates in September) and I am trying to see if I can find something that I can combine with the BA Hols double tier points offer, so need min 5 nights away.

I thought about going from Manchester but can only seem to ticket that on the multicity tool and does not give me an option to add hotel / car to make it a holiday. Anyone have any idea of somewhere I can go via that should be able to convert to a BA holiday?

Edit : Never mind, seems MAN is working now, must have been the usual BA glitch
