Free agency here, and the cheapest carrier will be booked unless there is a large amount of inconvenience involved, relative to the saving. The premium I will pay for BA has diminished also.

I have one cash booking presently with BA. I am sure there will be other flights on BA booked as well (I do have a year of silver I would like to rinse), but I anticipate to earn a number of nTPs totalling less than 1000 for the year ahead. Hard to gauge with the bonuses, although my existing booking is basic economy, and of course I'll need to get the calculator out after booking to know what I'm getting.

I am hopefully wrong here, but I expect dynamic pricing on redemptions by April 2026 so I am also looking to burn my avios. Currently have a couple of redemptions and have been looking at another couple.
