And the BA Club will be called the BA Snub.

My initial reaction to all of this is extrememly negative - having been a GC holder for over 10 years, based on personal spend and mostly UK-USA and UK to Australia trips, it really feels like a kick in the teeth.

Especially as the majority of my flights have been purchased directly with BA.

I will miss the First Checkin/security, the QF and CX First lounges and Oneworld benefits on internal US and Australian flights.

For me I cannot see ANY upside to this change, and particulary resent the timing of the rollout. Not a happy new year at all.
