This is obviously not available on short haul journeys such as DUB-LHR, so it “downgrades” me to Economy. I would, however, like my DUB-LHR and LHR-DUB to be Business Class (as well as an LAX-SFO hop in the AA equivalent), but it doesn’t give me the option. Is it even possible, or will I have to either create individual bookings with all the risks involved or maybe call someone?
To get a good price from Dublin you need to book 6 months in advance. Is there any scope in booking a BA Holiday from London in maybe one of the sales that might be forthcoming and get a holiday with double TP. You can call to fly say to JFK then PHX then up to SFO and if you get codeshare flights you might want to tweek around some odd sectors.
Im of the nervous disposition so wouldn’t leave my Jan holiday till January to book fearing expensive fares sale or not but another thing for you to consider.
