If, as seems to be the case based on the wording of the policy and the experience quoted above, this is true it would have the effect of making any flight in the next 180 days available for avios providing there is an avios redemption available on the route before 7th August. Once could simply book the avios fight, and then ring up and insist it is changed to the flight you really wanted as long as there is a seat for sale on it in any fare bucket. That seems somewhat generous of BA?
