Just logged in to my BA account and a further ex-gracia transaction has occurred which recredits the number of Avios which BA deducted earlier in the week as a safety measure following a security breach at the third party. You can read the post here. BA initially told me it would take two weeks for…
I wrote earlier this morning about the problem with BA accounts being frozen. A couple of people has asked to see the email. The text is below: Dear Customer British Airways has become aware of some unauthorised activity in relation to your Executive Club account. This appears to have been the result of a third party using information obtained…
There is hysteria in the air on the internet. Yesterday blogger after blogger went in to meltdown because BA had identified a security breach and were proactively taking steps to prevent problems with members accounts. These two steps were (a) forcing a password change on your account and (b) moving your avios out of your…
Some weeks ago BA announced that it was taking away the option to choose seats for passengers travelling on its cheapest, hand baggage only fares. Even elite members. Queue over 1,000 posts on Flyertalk.com I wrote to BA asking why they had done it. Two weeks later I got the standard reply: I am sorry…
In what has to be one of the oddest emails I have received in a long time from a major airline, BA appears to be writing to people travelling over Easter to warn them about awful it is going to be. BA travellers are long uses to emails 28 and 7 days before travel reminding…
As most people will know, BA, like many airlines changes the location of the curtain between Business Class and Economy on flights within Europe, to match demand. Typically they have 3-5 rows in my experience. Imagine my surprise when a forthcoming short hop from Dublin to London, at 7am on a Thursday has 12 rows:
BA’s all-business class A318’s will be taking a rest over Christmas and New Year. From City to JFK BA3 ends on Thu 17 December and starts again on 3 January 16 BA1 last runs on Fri 18 December and starts again on 8 January 16 From JFK to City BA4 ends on 17 December starts…
I logged on to my BA account yesterday and was greeted with the annoying red bar indicating that something had changed with my flights. It was a little bit of a surprise that BA were cancelling flights for November already, but then I realised that it was the Thanksgiving weekend. A little surprised that a US…
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…
