Earning Avios and Tier Points
Spending Avios
What does this mean for those of us with existing bookings for travel from April onwards?
- If your ticket was booked into J, C, D, R, I, or U fare classes, you will travel in the CE cabin and will enjoy lounge access plus the usual fast track benefits and special meal options that come with CE.
- If your ticket was booked into the Y bucket, you will be rebooked for free into J (Club Europe) and the above benefits will apply. This should happen automatically well in advance of travel. If your ticket was not issued by BA, you should contact the issuing airline to make sure this change is properly processed.
- If your ticket was booked into B, H, K, M, L, V, N, Q, O, S, G fare classes, you will travel in the ET cabin and all elements of the airport and cabin experience will the same as before.
- If your ticket was booked into the X fare bucket (economy class redemption), then you will travel in the ET cabin above. However, if this was part of a longhaul club or first ticket, it may be possible to be rebooked for free into the U (Club Europe) bucket. You will have to call BA to accomplish this change.
Earning Avios and Tier Points
- Q, O, and G class will earn 125 Avios and 5 TP per sector (no change)
- K, L, M, N, S, and V class will earn 250 Avios and 10 TP per sector (no change)
- Y*, B, and H class will earn 500 Avios and 20 TP per sector (no change)
- R and I class will earn 750 Avios and 40 TP per sector
- J, C, and D class will earn 1250 Avios and 40 TP per sector.
Spending Avios
- X will be the redemption class for EuroTraveller
- U will be the redemption class for Club Europe

I am sure there are many ways this can be done, but would not be the traditional one person does economy and one does business. Depending on how busy the business cabin is, perhaps they will both serve the meals to the CE cabin, then one does the BoB run in ET while the other serves drinks in CE

I see ba.com has been updated, https://www.britishairways.com/en-gb...usiness-dining
LBA/MAN will get a bacon roll, fruit and yoghurt at breakfast. Other domestic routes will get a full English.

Just wondering how Cityflyer is going to cope with this later in the year. They have only two cabin crew for 98 passengers. The crew have their hands full with previous (single class) service offering on domestics - is it realistic that one can do full service in club and the other crew member can single handedly handle BoB for the rest of the plane?

Yet they operate A320s mostly. Maybe they can try to reallocate A321s onto busy domestic flights and put the A320s on other routes.

Is that 1 way? Or when is your return? You can get a return in the 24th, coming back on the 2nd from £149

Has the tier point calculator been updated for domestics? Seems to suggest 20 tier points per sector for R, I, J, C and D. Not the previously suggested 40? I can't seem to copy paste from iPad, but just checked on BA.com

There wasn't. I think that was just changed yesterday but the 20TP's showing under the business section I would fully assume would be showing 40 after April 1st.

I am sure if it is that popular the flight price would have increased significantly anyway
I am guess there is something going on that day that has made this flight and the ones either side of them popular, especially 12 rows of CE on a saturday
