Any benefits for Gold status you can’t get with a F redemption ticket?
Just like many others, I am now redemption only on BA. I am happy to just move CC points to Avios when I see a good F redemption date from the west coast to the UK and vica versa. Every year I used to book 3-4 actual F tickets with cash, but since BA effectively told me they don’t give a toss about my business, I’m going to spend the money on MAGA caps instead.
Anyway, my question, are there any benefits aside from picking 1A and 1K early, that Gold status holders would have, that I wouldn’t have as a Blue status holder, if we both had F tickets?
