Earlier this evening, I called BA Executive Club service centre to redeem my BA miles and an AmEx 2-4-1 voucher. My partner and I are flying from ABZ to HKG, and then from BKK back to ABZ in Club World in November.

As the agent (a very friendly and chatty young woman) was calculating the taxes etc., she said she will not charge the £15 off line per person booking fee. She did this herself without me mentioning anything about the fee. We were pleased!
