not BA specific).
Has this approval wait time been getting worse over time, or has it always been inconsistent?

I’m waiting on one where the 60 day advance purchase period expires today.

Last time I was in a similar situation, the approval didn’t come through in time.

The thing is, I want to book the flights at this fare with or without the GUF. So, I guess I need to wait until llate in the day to book it myself if it looks like the approval will not happen. Anyone have any advice?
