If you are booked into a Club Europe fare bucket on this flight, then you will get 40 TP each way.


There is Club Europe on all BA flights LGW-JER and back.
However, if they are subbing in a Titan (etc) aircraft, and they know it in advance, and the one they are using does not have a business cabin, they might stop selling CE on the flight.

I assume/hope you are putting your flights into the calculator sector by sector, and not as a single journey (if connecting flights are involved).

The calculator used to get confused on Jersey, but I though it had stayed fixed in recent years.

The LGW-JER flights essentially behave as normal CE flights with regard to fare bukets, and you can pay upgrade (if offered) etc.

However, are you connecting from a domestic?

I can vaguely remember issues whereby Y on a domestic (which would give 'BizUK' on the BP for lounge access), would of course be economy on the LGW-JER. Where as J would give 'BizUK' on the domestic and CE on the JER. (Hope that makes sense).

Basically, get yourself into a CE fare bucket, you will be in the CE cabin on LGW-JER and get 40TP each way. If not availble check if it is a Titan sub would be my first guess.
