Thanks all, that’s really useful. And I had spotted that OW Elites get MCE for free, so I think that makes it AA. I can live without spirits, a few glasses of red plonk and I will be fine.

One last question – I’d prefer to book via ba.com to get the extra Avois via my Amex. Will this impact being able to manage the booking online, select seats etc, or would I then have to call up BA or AA to do this?
