It wouldn’t surprise me if BA is actually selling all available First seats anyway at the moment. There are currently plenty of travellers with plenty of cash, fed up of poor service in lower classes and buying up for something perceived better.
Amen to that, peak Ski season flights to the likes of GNB and SZG can be very good value, even spending double Avios. Probably one of the few gold perks that I will really miss...
