In the meantime, I'd take a look at Iberia's program to see if your annual paid flying would get you to oneworld Sapphire (Iberia "Oro") status.
Good point and t
hanks for the quick reply. Based on my usual travel patterns and the taxes (£60 or £84 to my most usual destinations), I’d estimate my annual pre-tax spend on BA flights at around £2,500 each year.
As you can see that's really far from the £7,500 needed to reach BA Silver nowadays
On top of that, I normally take one or two long-haul trips a year, usually costing somewhere between £900–£1,300 each (pre-tax). Since the airlines vary, it’s a bit harder to pin down the tax portion on those.
