The last two AA flights I booked on BA Avios weren’t showing on ba.com, but were showing as cheapest price on aa.com so I called up BA and the agent was able to book for me.

Still having this problem myself too. Seeing many flights available on many days on AA.com (AA metal) for WAS-SYD for 90K (not a saver or web special). BA shows no availability on ANY days from Dec 2022 - Feb 2023. Even though they show a few flights in Mar 2023, they still don't include any from AA. On BA, I did try looking for the whole journey WAS-SYD as well as individual legs that were available on AA (DCA-LAX, LAX-SYD) and still no availability.

I have had this issue with connecting flights. Looking at a DCA-JAX-AUS (unconventional but only way with availability) routing next year.
- On AA.com, DCA-JAX-AUS comes back with "U" availability for 2 seats
- If I search ExpertFlyer (which I know is unreliable for AA connections in general), it again shows 2 seats in U
- However, if I search ExpertFlyer one leg at a time, it shows 0 seats DCA-JAX, and 7 JAX-AUS
- The BA site matches what ExpertFlyer returns on a segment-by-segment basis (nothing DCA-JAX, nothing DCA-JAX-AUS, but will show availability JAX-AUS only)
