This is by far the most sought after benefit, as it allows you to make two return bookings per year on BA flights with Avios booking into revenue available seats as follows:
Book up to 5 seats using avios even when there are no redemption seats available
Limited to 5 joker seats per cabin per flight (though the GGL can request additional seats on your behalf)
Seats needs to be available in revenue classes (A for first, D for CW, T for WT+)
All flights must be on BA metal (cannot be used on codeshares with AA, CX, etc.), though can be combined with itineraries with seats on other metal if normal availability is available on those flights
May be used for other people, even if the GGL member is not flying
So Jokers can't be used on CityFlyer?

I'm not saying that Jokers can be used on Com Air. But the text there is quite ambiguous. Com Air after all is an airplane PAINTED in BA metal. My question is thus quite reasonable under the circumstances. So please drop the attitude.
