I’m all leisure travel. Got Silver easily with annual holiday in Cancun reaches creatively and bargain BA Club Europe Holidays. Thanks to this forum a bit of juggling, a TLL 200 TP weekend and an ex-eu that got me a 5 day trip to Miami and New York that I otherwise wouldn’t have done and I’ve got 2 years Gold.

The lounges are great. The welcome onboard was nice when it happened, seat assignments, the first wing and group 1 boarding make a £75 day trip to Madrid pleasurable. In March as there were more Silvers in my group experienced Galleries Club for the first time in a while. Was perfectly acceptable,

As things stand I’ll drop to Silver unless BA extend. I’m not overly fussed about that with more people losing their jobs and struggling to feed themselves seems very selfish to feel hard done by.

Once travel gets back to the new normal who knows what it’s going to be. I’ll decide then and it might mean chosing by price and what I can get and taking the train to Manchester, Newcastle and Scotland instead of flying as the enjoyment is taken out of such trips without the perks attached to them.

I don’t think anybody could have predicted this after BA cancelled flights to China for a few weeks back in January.
