110 Direct Flights From NYC That Can Be Booked With British Airways Avios

@meshugener:
Seems like FLL should be seasonal service but I can’t find it so I’ve deleted it.
A few of the cities listed are seasonal only.

@Mark:
Nope, Chicago would be the closest city with service to Toronto or Buffalo.

@Chris:
Of course, thanks for the correction.

@htg123:
There will be a fuel surcharge on that route as stated in the knowledgebase rules.
If you want to know what it would be you’d have to search for a flight to see, that’s far beyond the attempt of this post.

@dale:
Please read the knowledgebase.

@Eli:
Seems like it was pulled.
CMIIW.

@My08701:
Please read the knowledgebase for search tips. That’s simply untrue.

@Avios:
The title says what????

@BKLYN:
It’s pretty straightforward, the fuel surcharge rule is posted in the knowledgebase.
Also not all fuel surcharges are created equal, so I’m not sure how valuable that information even is without searching.

@Yosel:
There is not.

@norm:
This chart is just for direct flights from NYC.
Cleveland to Israel using Avios will involve a least 2 connections, not exactly ideal. Better off with Chase/United miles.

@Dani Klein:
No.

@TDweck:
Lol. Do I hide it?

@DanFan:
PHL is not a hub so the only nonstop flight will be to other hubs.
Namely Chicago, Dallas, and Miami for AA and London for BA.
PHL-Miami has fantastic award availability, so it can even make sense for people who normally fly from NYC for peak travel dates.

@Mike:
Lol, gotta tell that to the AA.com route mapper folks 😀

Thanks for the updates, LGA-PBI is a great route addition even though it’s only seasonal.

@availibilty ?:
Identical, though you must toggle it to nonstop only on aa.com to view the calendar that would be applicable to BA unless you’re willing to pay for 2 legs/2 separate tickets.

@Eddie A:
Please read the knowledgebase.
El Al is not a OneWorld member, they are a non-alliance partner of American’s and not a BA partner.

@Wolf:
Not that I saw.

@hdawg:
Please read the knowledgebase.

@Eli:
What date?
Are you sure it’s not small government fees and taxes?

@nr:
Please read the knowledgebase.

@Yosel:
No.

@joe:
Please read the knowledgebase.

@David:
I decided to categorize fake first class flights as business class but listed the triple rates when BA does that.
6 of one, half dozen of the other.

@jr:
AA gives you access to El Al availability.
BA gives you access to far lower rates via Air Berlin.

@south:
See response earlier in this reply.

@Anonymous:
Did you read the title of this post?
Nothing has changed for Boston.

@jill:
No. You would have to fly via Chicago or Dallas.

@yitz g:
Yes.
One-way as the post says.

@Tim:
Sort of, it’s called a household account but I don’t advise doing that.

@sam the man:
Yes, international flights have government imposed fees.

@David:
That’s why I wrote Seattle is 37.5K.

@Damn:
People just don’t want to read.

@Mendel:
http://www.aa.com/i18n/disclaimers/aadvantageAllPartnerChart.jsp#1

@Tim:
You have to select flights to get the actual charge.
But generally it’s not worth using Avios to fly coach to London.

@Yaks:
Household accounts can only book travel for people registered to the household. Why limit yourself to that?
Regular accounts can book travel for anyone, though if you abuse that they can close your account.

@ihow:
It was already asked and answered, see comment 26 and my response.

@DZ the Telzer:
@ike:
I’ve flown it many times.
There’s just 1 flight a day and it sells out often. If it’s sold out it won’t display.

But a quick search for CLE-JFK shows it’s available on 08/13, 08/14, and 08/16 for example.

@SG:
Unlikely.

@jp:
Yes.

@Mendel:
Yup, 3 class first is what they call premium there.

@HansGolden:
The only “direct” flight I included is JFK-(LAX)-SYD which does operate in both directions.
All others are nonstop.

@my08701:
Anyone who actually read the knowledgebase would know how to search for BA awards properly. And how to book them properly.

I’m in a generous mood so I’ll do the work for you. Here is the calendar of nonstop availability.

http://www.dansdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/aa9.png

Enjoy your trip.

@Tim:
American or United miles.

@DZ the Telzer:
Call or write to them.
Posting here won’t get you much…

@Tim:
No problem.
Note that with American miles you will pay a fuel surcharge to fly on BA but you won’t pay a fuel surcharge to fly on anyone else.

With United miles you’ll never pay a fuel surcharge.

@Tim:
The chart above shows American in bold going to London, meaning it is subject to fuel surcharges when using Avios.

United charges 30K to London in coach and 50K in business.

@Mendel:
AAdvantage miles are much harder to get (AMEX MR and Chase UR don’t transfer to AAdvantage) and have a higher “street value” than Avios.

Bear in mind that AAdvantage also has a $75 close-in fee if booked within 21 days and a $150 cancel fee.
Though fewer miles and no fuel surcharge for travel on Cathay does make it a very good use of AA miles.

@eddie:
Sure, just remember to toggle it to nonstop flights only and be sure you’re only looking at the MileSAAver award level.

The AA.com month-long calendar makes it all a piece of cake.

@my08701:
Again, if you would just read knowledgabse you would know that it matches up exactly with the nonstop MileSAAver flights on AA.com.

Hence why I was just able to pull this up, just like my AA.com screenshot showed you earlier.

@bspn:
Pray tell what doesn’t match up??

@my08701:
PHL-MIA on the 28th is available.

@sy guy:
You’re right, BA First will be a better value though if you just want to go to Paris the nonstop is attractive. Though the Cabanas in LHR First are supposed to be nice.

5th freedom flights like SIN-SYD have the lowest fuel surcharges.

@bspn:
Sometimes you just need to try again.

@Alex:
Just keep checking daily, these things are always changing.

@DR:
JFK-PUJ service is summer only, sorry!

@Sara:
Chicago has flights to Israel for just $640. Not worth using Avios.
But yes, Air Berlin serves Chicago.

@Joe:
You and 10,000 others want to know…
I got it by having United miles and diligently searching and booking. But peak travel times are always tough.

@Laura:
The knowledgebase really is a must-read. And if you did you’d know that Aer Lingus flights can only be booked by calling them up…

@ari:
Your welcome, thanks for the feedback!

@benny:
I’ll make a separate PHL chart soon 😀

@dave:
1. Read the post and click where it says in bold “If you have a question it’s probably already been answered there!”
2. Depends on the route, that’s a very vague question.

@Eric:
Not yet.

@Anonymous:
DTW doesn’t have many OneWorld flights. Direct flights will just be to other hubs.

@Joey:
Indeed they do, thanks for the reminder!

@srulky:
Read the post update.

@AJ:
BA pass is pretty close to worthless unless you’re ready to pony up the $$$$ to fly first.

@PHL:
For PHL? Of course.

@yitz:
It’s in the post.

@Ben:
It’s set but there can be nothing available for peak dates.

@Rob:
Heh, today’s the last day!
Thanks.

@mazal:
No idea what you’re asking.

@Dan’s the Man:
No, it’s a USAir flight, not an American flight (yet).
We’ll know on 03/31 what the story is when it’s bookable through BA.

@Buenos Naches:
Heh, I wish…

@Marco Polo:
05/04-05/07 is 25K for me.

@Marco Polo:
Click through to the next page and the taxes go down.

@Marco Polo:
Click on the $80 option and continue to the next page and it drops to 40.

@josh:
No, that’s the full rate.

@levi:
Read the post.

@pacy:
Updated.

@What happened?:
Nothing nonstop.

@sam:
Read the post.

@Redbull3:
Several additions (LGA-CLE, JFK-VCP, etc) and several subtractions (LGA-AGS, JFK-PUJ, etc)

For now you can still see the old chart here:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:1UGi9wBtxMUJ:www.dansdeals.com/archives/32877+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

@Jonathan:
Indeed, thanks.

@Chana:
3 months.

@Elisa:
You can book multiple family members from one account.

@Ca$h:
Probably about $600.
Though you can get $6,000 worth of flights by using it yourself…

@DoGo:
LGA-CLE is $5.60 each way.
Why not book online?

@DoGo:
There is no availability from JFK-CLE this week and LGA-CLE doesn’t start until 03/30/15.

But you’d know that if you read the knowledgbase and saw how to search on AA.com for BA flights 😉

No idea what the rep is selling you. Definitely won’t be 4.5K Avios.

@DoGo:
Email me the confirmation when all is said and done…

@Anonymous:
I’m not aware of any Alaska Airlines flights from JFK.

You’re probably looking at an American codeshare.

@Sasha:
No reason why not. Just be prepared to Recon.

@Dans Fan:
Read the post. Specifically note #8.

@Dand Fan:
That’s way beyond the scope of these posts.
Point is that the route exists, it’s your job to find dates.

@Anonymous:
Perhaps.

@marc:
http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/59617

@Magic:
Rates in the post are one-way.

@youG:
No, but it is on BA.com

@Luvtotravel:
With the new chart it can be anywhere from double to quadruple.

Short haul international is double.
Long haul international is triple
Domestic on 2 class planes is quadruple.

@Michael N.:
It’s 20K:25K as you get a 5K bonus for transfers made in increments of 20K Starpoints.

A few days. Let us know when it posts for you.

@coralsnake:

@coralsnake:
Erm, still haven’t the post update, have you?

@loren:
You can do family pooling, but why exactly do you want to?

@marry:
Doesn’t matter.

@Chana:
TLV to/from DUS, MUC, TXL, VIE all are fuel surcharge free.

@Monseyrabbi:
Routes with fuel surcharges are in bold, the numbers change too frequently.

@fafa123:
They sell most domestic business as first class, hence the huge premium.

@New York:
It would be 12.5K for NYC-LAX and 12.5K for LAX-HNL each way.
Can stopover as long as you want by booking it as 2 tickets.

@Cle rocks:
There is one, click on the link in this post.

@Moty:
LGA-CVG nonstop service begins 01/05/16.

@sury:
It’s in the chart.

Are you searching AA.com?

@Sola:
@Chossid:
@AA q2:
$55 change fee to do that.

@Joey Antar:
Answer is in this post:
http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/59617

If AA.com has a saver award flight you should call the BA Singapore call center.

@Samm:
Please read comment 269.

@AA:
You can search by nonstop, read this post:
http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/59617

As this post shows, it does remain 7.5K.
UA short-haul is under 700 miles only, so nothing for NYC-MIA.

@AA:
No.

@Nachum:
No, read the chart.
