Not yet, I really want to avoid the old CW config (had booked both ways of my itinerary into the Suites product). But I also don't want to have them rebook me into AA haha. So I'll be picking between two non-ideal options.

My BA-280 LAX-LHR on August 20 was cancelled today, I have to choose an alternate flight in Business Class. How is AA in Business to LAX-LHR?

Anyone used Iberia for long haul in Business?
My other option from my cancellation of BA-280 is to fly AA LAX to JFK and then Iberia A330 in Business to Madrid then on to my destination Lisbon. Any opinions? Just the thought of being able to skip London sounds amazing, except of course several hours in the Concord Lounge.

Seriously though, that is a must have trip for me, so it is frustrating seeing availability dwindle on alternate AA routings
Hopefully the email comes today or tomorrow.

IB business is perfectly fine, especially for a relatively short flight like JFK-MAD (usually about 6-7 hours)
ETA- Be aware you may have to switch terminals at JFK (8 > 7). Not sure what IB is doing there at the moment.

BA 165 LHR-TLV cancelled for 01/08 and it looks that they will be doing only the evening flight early August.... had enough of vouchers and requested refund, bought a ticket on VS, better flight times to and from TLV, I am afraid I don't want to have to get up at 4 am to come back or arrive just after midnight.
