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…
I have read a couple of other bloggers indicating that the changes to OnBusiness (BA’s small and medium business rewards scheme) coming in May are not as bad as expected. I thought it might be good to work out exactly what impact the changes will have on the points I have accrued. So my balance…
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.

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…
There has long been evidence that passengers who regularly buy upgrades at the airport are denied further upgrades after BA decides that they have had enough. The common theory is that BA thinks these passengers should be buying tickets in the cabin that they want, rather than buying a cheap upgrade at the airport. I have to…
The changes to BA Executive Club impact the use and earning of Avios but today I am going to look at changes to the earning of Tier Points. Tier Points, for the uninitiated are how BA works out which elite status should be given to you. Tier Points can be earned when flying with BA…
