I was quoted three times higher taxes then the correct ones by very several very argumentative agents, which eventually called back to apologise and process the correct payment, but once tickets were issued started calling back to demand more Avios… again wrong. At least now, with some research and preparation, we can find out if we are being miss charged. With the dynamic pricing one would have no choice but to accept whatever they say is correct.
Dynamic pricing is logical given the current business model

BUT I’m still intrigued to see how the UK government looks to recoup much needed tax revenue.

Taxing airline credits is so obvious it defies belief it hasn’t already been initiated - but a few civil servants may perhaps object!!!

watching with intrigue and interest. The new BAC strategy could be destroyed with the swipe of a wand with only one political decision?
