Whilst the earning rate has dropped, I've not burned a single avios point since the changes went live and I can't see it happening any time soon. A real shame.
Yes andset1191, I've got to agree with you there. The removal of the free domestic sector was BA's biggest mistake, it's really unfair in my opinion. How can they expect people from the regions to even try and earn Avios when they have to use a large chunk of them just to connect onto another flight. BA should have thought that one through.
