It is a complete rethink of the second half of 2025 and 2026. Existing bookings get me GGL for 25-26 and gold for 26-27 with no need of a soft landing. I said earlier in the report that I was planning on less trips, further, for longer. That plan is now shredded.
Plan B is to empty my pretty substantial Avios hoard with short haul Y trips from T5 to places I have yet to visit, and 2026 similar from a mix of T3 and T5, maximising the status benefits for the next 2 years and directing as little as possible directly into BAs coffers
Assuming nothing has changed in the ensuing 2 years then *A and LH makes the most sense for me with a whole new network to explore, but that’s a way off in the distance.
