- ... select Change (next to the Outbound date near the top of the page). This gives a modal dialogue that lets you change the origin, destination, dates... and includes a drop-down box for class, that includes First as one of the options.
- Select First from that drop-down box, leaving everything else as before, then click Find Flights.
- The results page will now display results for Premium Economy, Business, and First.
There's a simpler workaround, actually. Go to your BAEC home page (
https://www.britishairways.com/trave...club/_gf/en_gb) and use the sidebar to search. This has all four classes, whichever flavour of voucher is selected.
Using
squawk's workaround above, it should be enough if you select "Business". Doing this should show you columns for Premium Economy, Business and First, even though you couldn't directly select First from the drop-down menu on the main Avios search page (
