Anyone understand the reasons why? And was there any communication around this? It makes long-haul travel from regional airports on Avios a pain.
Are you really a BA Gold whilst never understanding that you can book connecting flights on the same ticket? Yes you might pay more Avios, but you have NEVER been required to actually book the award flights separately. (there are situations where you might want to, but you aren't required to...)
