If BA wants to incentivise affluent leisure travellers to use BAH as their primary travel agency I think they’ll need to make some changes to how their household account set up works.

If the new reality is spend based then some allowance needs to be given to the fact that spend comes out of family resources in the case of leisure travel.

As a single person the new system works well for me but there’s always going to be a hard limit on how much I spend on a flight + hotel booking, even in J or F.

Reading the boards there are clearly a lot of well off couples willing to spend £15K-20K on a single major family holiday for them and their adult kids. It’s a bit off that those new TP either get divvied up with the children, who aren’t paying, or get discarded if they aren’t members of BAC.

Wouldn’t the obvious thing be to allow for households to nominate up to two ‘principals’ (ie the decision makers/payors) who would receive the nTP on any BAH booking?

I don’t see how it’s fair that I could be better off from a nTP perspective than an individual or couple who are spending much more because the’re paying for others too.

Otherwise, what’s the incentive to use BAH for the big family trips?
