You Can Once Again Book American Airlines Flights With BA Avios
Earlier this week, an IT glitch made it temporarily impossible to book American Airlines flights using some partner currencies, such as British Airways Avios. Fortunately, that issue has been fixed, and you can once again search (and book) AA award flights via British Airways' site.
That's great news for BA members looking to book longer short-haul flights (of up to 1,151 miles) within the US, which you can book for just 7,500 Avios (which are far easier to come by than AAdvantage miles). Additionally, British Airways doesn't charge AA's $75 close-in processing fee. So, for frequent flyers "in the know," this temporary outage was hardly ideal.
