I have been BAEC Gold for a few years now. I used to use London as a hub for most of my international flights. Since COVID hit BA has stopped flying out of my base airport, which left me needing to use other airlines. I have maintained my BAEC tier points needed for Gold through QR, but I won't be able to retain the sectors flights needed.
Does anyone know if BA would be willing to wave that for me given that they stopped flying out my cities International airport?

01 Moving between tiers
The promotion process is not as simple as it could be at first glance. First off, in addition to accruing the Tier Points required to qualify for promotion to the next tier or retain at the current tier, you also need to fly either two (for Bronze) or four (for Silver or Gold) qualifying flights during your membership year.
02 What is a qualifying flight?
Examples of criteria used to determine a qualifying flight:
BA operated + BA flight prefix
BA operated + other flight prefix
Other carrier operated + BA flight prefix
IB operated + IB flight prefix
Note, reward bookings and agency or industry discounted bookings are not qualifying flights. BA/IB subsidiaries and franchise operated flights are though.
Can you meet any of those requirements?
