Thanks, good thoughts.
As they say, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush!
For the flight I'm thinking of, there are still 3 left for that date on BA (I do have two)
Out a couple of weeks now from using the AS option
I think AS has very low cancellation fees, but will check, BA definitely does
I read somewhere that many or all reservation systems would block if it receives the same name/DOB for the same flight/class/date, as bookings are filed by name. Looking to see if someone can confirm this
This would be before a change in redemption rates
