I would imagine you would be in Club South, but it will depend on how many of BA's status passengers are flying at the time you are flying. If it's not so many then you'd get First.

One unintended consequence of the changes is that Club/Silver has had quite a big improvement in the service, and First can be argued both ways but the feedback above is pretty positive overall, in fact I don't think there is a material complaint so far, which for this crowd is pretty amazing. CCT may be the main group to lose out, in terms of space and ambiance, but in a way I was expecting CCR to be closed for a while, and my first CCT experience was positive and I was well tended to, by staff who have looked after me for many years.

So I wouldn't worry too much if you do end up one level above.
