You don't have to accept the first offer, you can (e.g.) go via Iberia and Madrid.
thank you again.
BA have put us in a reasonable hotel. We are going to stick with the downgrade. However I feel that we will have a battle with the tier points because we booked with BA HOLIDAYS (for the double tier point offer). I’m not sure the Gold line will help us in this situation.
When all is said and done we are safe and sound and gold benefits are not the be all and end all.
