It’s ridiculous that a passenger booking a Ryanair flight leaving Dublin can pay for FastTrack and a BA gold card holder flying a BA coded but EI operated service does not get it and currently cannot purchase it.

I was lucky in that a seat became available on one of the few BA operated services out of DUB on the day I am flying but for the way there from LGW I am on Ryanair as my shiny BA card has no value on EI or in LGW when flight is not OW operated.

I am, by the way, boycotting EI until they rejoin OW. Their setup within IAG is pure cakeism. Plenty of alternatives and I also have plenty of patience.
