no AA A class available on the BA codeshare LHR-YVR
 
Have been doing a dummy AONE4 RTW on the online booking tool and it says that there is no availability in A class on AA booked as the codeshare with BA LHR to YVR in Jan - only D class if booked as AA...

I checked this out on EF and the same story - the AA codeshare has no F or A class showing just J and D ....
I put in a wide range of dates and the same story ....
This was not the case a few weeks ago.

I was wondering why this might be ?

Thanks!

Its not just YVR but all Canadian BA destinations. No idea why they decided not to sell F anymore.

Yes
I did wonder if it was to Canadian destinations but hadn't checked .
But they were selling in F/A a couple of weeks ago .....
Well maybe someone will be able to enlighten us!

Actually it is all AA codeshares TATL (so US not just Canada); AA is selling F only on AA metal. Presumably the BA pricing makes it uneconomic for AA (it would be selling below cost if priced the same as AA metal F once the corp. discounts are factored in).

AA F/A seems available on BA codeshares to US ...
 
HI
I've checked on EF and also on the online RTW booking engine and both come up with AA F/A class on BA codeshares to US destinations e.g. JFK/MIA/LAX etc

Was about to post that under the Joint Business Agreement AA/BA/IB pool both revenues and costs of transatlantic services, but then it dawned on me that AFIR the JBA only covers EU to USA service, not Canada...
