Booking LAN with AA
 

I am really frustrated trying to book JFK-LIM on LAN with AA.

BA and IB show availabilty.
I call AA and the agent doesn't see it.
I go back to BA and it's gone again.
Then I go to IB and there it is, all ready to be booked.

I'd much rather book it for 30K AA than 50K Avios.
But calling AA takes forever, and I don't want to do it every time only to be told there is nothing there.

Help?

This is an AA reward question that is best dealt with on the AA forum. I see you started a similar thread there:

Also see this thread on the AA forum:

There you will see that phantom availability on ba.com is very common.

You will also find numerous threads on the BA forum discussing problems with finding and booking LAN reward flights.
