Fantastic!! staff were so helpful and we got 4 flights from Newcastle- Miami in January for £1280.80, thats £320.20 each, which is a huge saving.We booked our seats and were also able to use our BA executive clubcards to gain partner points on these flights.

Helpful, but not very honest.

BA NCL-LHR YES (250 miles)
AA LHR-MIA NO miles, NO points

All AA Transatlantic flights DO NOT qualify for BA miles or points, only a connection on a domestic AA flight will qualify for 25% mileage in economy/coach. ie Chicago(ORD)-Miami(MIA)

Managed to book flights for Trinidad Carnival for 426, which was essentially half price of anywhere else (could have gone Charter to Tobago and traferred across for a bit more).

It's a pain you don't get BA miles on these trans atlantic, I have a BA card which I primarily use and an AA one which I only used for the Citibank card miles. I've asked if I can get BA miles for Miami to Trinidad and AA for London to Miami and everyone says it fine in principle but doesn't know how to do it!

Does anyone know whether both flights in a return booking have to be within the dates specified, or can it just be one of the legs....??

It can be just one leg if required or like I have booked, out to one place and back from another as we are doing a road trip in between.

I think aside from the fact that I had to pay a bit more than what I had calculated from the AA's online prices, this is still a good deal.

I booked return flights MAN to JFK 27 Dec - 6 Jan and paid £267. It's cheaper than any other airlines have to offer in that time of year which is around £350 and above.

Bear in mind that this offer is valid if you plan an itinerary with AA flights only, not with its partner ie BA.

When I first called AA number, my itinerary was MAN to JFK via Heathrow, with a flight from MAN to LHR with BA. The person who took my call said that it's okay as long as my return flight will be on AA only. I decided to have another look at the flights available online so I asked him to hold my itinerary and called again the next day to confirm. Turns out that my initial itinerary wasn't valid because it has a flight with BA in it. The other person apologised for the misunderstanding they've caused and were very kind finding me a better alternative. It was the longest call I had to make to book a flight (an hour and 10 minutes! thanks for the 0207 number!!!), but it was worth it!

It's the same thing for me. I booked the flights almost a month ago but they haven't charged my credit card yet. When I checked the itinerary under my name & reservation code on AA website, it says that the status is 'purchased'... I could use that as a confirmation, yes?

The lady told me on the phone that payment wouldn't be taken for a while (didn't say when), although when it is taken then I would be e-mailled an e-ticket....

Seems good -
London - Trinidad (Port of Spain) - £398.00. Long stay.

By far the cheapest I've found.
