Registration Code UKS15 I think this is designed for UK members of AAdvantage only. I hope that BA might match for Executive Club members but no news yet. The fare classes are fairly restrictive as the lower classes are excluded. First Class fares get 7,000 per round trip, Business Class earns 5,000 and Full-Fare main…
Hidden amongst the bad news that Hand Baggage Only fares don’t get free seat selection from later in the month, were this month’s BA Avios offers. * 1,000 point bonus if you join Heathrow Rewards and spend £25 in a day. Until 20 April 2015. Details of the offer are here. Of course, free membership of…
British Airways has just sent out an email announcing a change to the options for passenger who choose their cheapest ‘Hand Baggage Only’ fares from 26 March. From this day passengers booking Hand Baggage Only (HBO) fares will be allocated a seat at check-in time. They can change this for a fee. The operative word…
The UK’s independent newspaper runs an article this morning accusing BA of intercepting email and phone calls of some of its employees during a bitter dispute in 2011. The airline, it is worth noting, denies the claims. The phones and computers, it should also be noted were the employers property. It all appears to have…

BA has issued a further update to the changes they announced on Friday to the OnBusiness Small and Medium business rewards scheme. I reviewed these changes yesterday and you can read about them here. It appears however, that in an added twist members of OnBusiness in the USA are being told that it is being…
In an unexpected move BA has ‘enhanced’ its programme which rewards businesses who have travellers that use BA for their travel. Many SME’s use this scheme, called OnBusiness, to offset some of their travel costs. The scheme only requires two distinct travellers in order to qualify for membership. Until the changes announced by BA…

There are some other reasonable offers, all destinations are listed below. Travel by 14 July so it covers the Easter period. Doing a test booking via this page, you…
Like many people, friends of mine received cancellation emails and texts that their flights from London Gatwick to Gran Canaria were cancelled later in the year. When checking to see whether BA had cancelled the route it became clear that something else was happening. First, the flights had switched to Heathrow and Terminal 5 –…
Last Saturday I had to call the BA Gold Guest List line for assistance with a booking. The hold time was perhaps 15 seconds. The agent went through the booking to check my flights were all booked properly, confirmed arrival and departure times, checked minimum connecting times and the fare I had been quoted. All…
