Is it possible to change FF Number in an award ticket?
Hey Gurus!! i do have a few AA award tickets bought on Avios through IB, hence my IB+ is in the reservation. the point is that I am Gold in BA and I would like to assign my BAEC to the reservation, so I can have the Emerald benefits... any idea on how to do this? - AA site does have the FFP field greyed out - IB does not allow to change Not sure even if this is possible at all being an award ticket. Any help is appreciated, I want the extra luggage in my award ticket :) and why not a visit to the lounge. cheers |
Try using the Finnair website. Remove IB number, save/close, add BA number.
(Irrelevant in your case, but for anyone else reading this later - unless you can't select seats now, I wouldn't do this until closer to departure in case you need to change/cancel your ticket with IB, you never know if doing this might mess up/confuse any Avios redeposit) |

I will try again by end of the week. Cheers! |
You can also call IB and they can change it for you. You may need to explain why or HUACA |
This is why I never book for "member me" and always book for "a beneficiary" who happens to have the same name as me but is "only" a member of BAEC... ;)

To close the loop - Twitter worked, AA replaced and added my BAEC number and now I can have seat selection and so on. |
I cannot change it from IB to AA at all... it changes it on Finnair and I get a confirmation that it was changed but then the IB number repopulates.
Has anyone found a way of successfully changing it? I also tried the Iberia customer "service" but they are so incredibly incompetent.....and I speak Spanish perfectly..... |
They would do it with no problem at check in counter so you will have your Emerald benefits at least during travel if not before (I guess seat alocation?)

QANTAS site worked for me. |

However, a quick question: If I did this and then had to cancel, would it screw up the (already notoriously difficult) process of getting my Avios back ? Can anyone confirm this from experience ? |
