Hi, I’m looking to go from London to Buenos Aires next year on Avios. BA fly there with a stopover in Rio using the same plane.
I can see loads of Business availability from London to Rio (& back) & from Rio to Buenos Aires (& back) – i.e. the plane that stops in Rio has 4 seats available on all legs on loads of dates, however when trying to book London to Buenos Aires it says there’s no availability except for August this year. Any ideas, in theory I could book the Rio & Buenos Aires legs separately as it’s the same plane so I can’t miss a connection but I want to use a companion voucher or upgrade voucher so would end up paying more.
Do I have to call to book?
@Tristoph – this has been raised in another thread earlier today. Each of the three combinations – LHR-EZE, LHR-GIG and GIG-EZE have their individual Avios availabilities, like married segments so while you can see availability on the two sectors, BA won’t combine currently but may do much nearer departure. You can’t book both sectors individually as, even without luggage, you won’t be able to get back to the aircraft in time and if you attempt to book it should fail.
I would advise to check IB from Madrid. Direct flight, cheaper taxes and less avios. You need of course a positioning return ticket from/to LHR

Yes, Iberia is just so much better and cheaper unless someone is wanting to use a Barclays voucher.
Thanks for the replies.
I wanted to go BA so I could do Club Suite the whole way rather than narrow body to / from Madrid (unless I happen to get the one wide body flight!) – & also may use my Barclaycard voucher.
@JDG thanks, I hadn’t considered that because it’s a separate ticket I would have to deplane & check-in again.. Really frustrating that they wouldn’t offer a through ticket when there are reward flights available for all legs
