No availability on AA flights using Avios after system upgrade
Hi All - I am trying book from DFW - PHX, DFW - MIA in June 2022 using Avios and don't see any availability. So I tried random dates for same routes in Jan/Feb/March of 2022 and don't see any availability. Is this something related to recent system upgrade that BA had? I also BA customer service and they say they don't see any availability either. I checked on AA and AASaver award are available for these routes/dates.
Any insight/help would be appreciated. Thanks

It's been going on for a little while now.
Seems like an IT glitch. BA does pick up Alaska flights with avios still if that helps.
I gave up and booked AA flights I needed with my advantage account.
Theres some threads in the past few weeks on here somewhere.

No end in sight on this one, it seems. I'm in the same boat - can see them on AA and can see them via the QF site, but BA can't book them.

Is the ability to transfer Avios from BAEC to Iberia Plus also down? (Note that IB Plus does not permit changes or refunds to redemption bookings on AA.)

BA IT must have infected Iberia also. When trying to search on it for an AA international MIA-EZE it shows:Sorry,we can't show you the flights
When Iberia is pointing fingers at others things are really bad.

For reasons beyond the control of Iberia, we can't show you the flights available at this time
