they had shown me a printscreen from the GDS for farerule on Dec 1.
so we will let it slide.
we just hoped to get LHR DME LHR middle east for enough tier point for my niece since LHR DME is 140. we plan to swap to LHR MLA LHR AMM/DOH for 80 tier point each, and my niece will end up with 1480 tier points (need to find another 20 tier points in 6 months (Sept 18-Feb 19) to keep her BA gold for 3rd year.)
they are not excited to go to russia anyways
