With the new service from PDX to LHR starting in June, I managed to redeem two 2-4-1 for 4 passengers in J from PDX-LHR-NCE for Christmas - unfortunately, I left it a little too late and there wasn’t a lot of availability for our preferred dates. This week, I received an email from BA stating our flight on Dec. 20th had been cancelled and we had been rebooked for the 21st arriving in Nice late on the 22nd. Looking at the BA website, I tried to see if there were any earlier options in the week, but in the end called due to error messages. As luck would have it, we were re-booked on the 18th which was the original date we wanted to fly in the first place! My fear with an AVIOS booking is that we were ‘locked-in’ to redemption availability , but in this case it worked out in our favor.
