As of July 17 2012 - MFU allowed on TA bookings
A letter I got today:
As you know, up until now, you have been able to action - on behalf of your Executive Club Member clients
- one-cabin Upgrades using Avios prior to ticketing, via our Executive Club telephone service center.
We are delighted to announce that we're enhancing our functionality so effective July 17, 2012,
customers can Upgrade using Avios (both travel agent and direct bookings) online at ba.com. And you can still
action Upgrade using Avios requests also, provided your Executive Club client has authorized you through
the use of the third party nominee form.
In addition, the option to Upgrade using Avios via our Executive Club telephone service center at
1 800 452-1201 will be available in the interim and moving forward as well.
We are also now expanding the Upgrades using Avios program to include corporate dealt fares.
There will be some changes to the upgrade process and policy moving forward but we're confident this will
be a valued enhancement for your Executive Club clients and you.
