Hi all, hoping for a sanity check on an AA partner award that disappeared right after I moved my points. This morning I confirmed availability for an AA flight on ba.com for the entire week I wanted to fly, and the same flights were also showing on iberia.com. I moved my BILT points over to BA. When I went back to ba.com to book, every date I had been watching was no longer available. Iberia, which had still been showing those flights as recently as yesterday, now shows nothing for those dates either. AA.com itself has no MileSAAver inventory for any of the flights I was tracking. also
What I am trying to figure out is whether it is normal for AA to pull award inventory across a full week all at once, or whether the seats genuinely sold out because BILT is running a transfer bonus to Avios today and a lot of people went after the same flights. Seems strange that will happen since its an year out but its spring break week so possible. If anyone has practical advice for what to do next so my Avios are not stranded on a redemption I cannot actually use, I would appreciate it.
Flight details: ORD to LIR, four passengers in economy, dates flexible across late March 2027, paying with BA Avios transferred from BILT.
Thanks in advance.
