. Absolutely chosen on price. At time of booking BA was closer to £1000 economy return, LH was £700 and KL/AF was £400.
I no longer need to prioritise BA as I’ll not get status under the new rules, so I’ll maximise the benefits and minimise the spend for the next year, and my filler and last minute flights will be decided on price for 2025.
Ok this makes more sense. In fact, it sounds even rational - but then again, no one ever accused BA people of being pragmatic. And agreed, £1000 quid is excessive...
